ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

Fixed/Variable Single Premium Immediate Annuity Contract

ING INCOME ANNUITY

May 1, 2009

The Contract. The contract described in this prospectus is a fixed or variable, group or individual immediate annuity contract issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). It is issued to you, the contract holder as either a nonqualified contract, or a contract that qualifies for special federal income tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”) or with retirement plans qualifying under Tax Code sections 401 or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available for 457 plans.

Why Reading this Prospectus is Important. This prospectus contains facts about the contract and its investment options that you should know before purchasing. The information will help you decide if the contract is right for you. Please read this prospectus carefully.

Investment Options. The contract offers variable investment options and a fixed dollar option. When you purchase the contract, your purchase payment will be applied to the investment options you select. Some investment options may be unavailable through your contract, your plan or in your state.

Variable Income Payments. If you select variable income payments, the amount of your income payments will vary based on the performance of the variable investment options that you select. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account B (“the separate account”), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (funds) listed on this page. Subaccount performance will vary depending upon the performance of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.

Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds. Information about the risks of investing in the funds is located in the “Investment Options” section, in Appendix II- Description of Underlying Funds, and in each fund prospectus. Read this prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain the prospectuses for future reference.

You may obtain free of charge the May 1, 2009, Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) about the separate account by indicating your request on your application or calling us at 1-800-238-6273. You may also obtain an SAI for any of the funds by calling that number. This prospectus, the SAI and other information about the separate account may be obtained by accessing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website, www.sec.gov. When looking for information regarding the contracts offered through this prospectus, you may find it useful to use the number assigned to the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-202-942-8090 or 1-800-SEC-0330, e-mailing publicinfo@sec.gov or by writing to SEC Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. The SAI table of contents is listed on page 39 of this prospectus. The SAI is incorporated into this prospectus by reference.

Additional Disclosure Information. Neither the SEC, nor any state securities commission, has approved or disapproved the securities offered through this prospectus or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950


Fixed Income Payments. If you select fixed payments, your purchase payment will be applied to the fixed dollar option and your payment amount will not vary. Except as specifically mentioned, this prospectus describes only the variable investment options. However, we describe the fixed dollar option in Appendix I of this prospectus.

We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the contract. See “Other Topics – Contract Distribution,” for further information about the amount of compensation we pay.

Notice to Existing Contract Owners

This prospectus will be delivered to prospective purchasers in connection with sales occurring on and after May 1, 2009, as well as to owners having purchased the contract earlier. The contract is sold on a continuous basis. And the prospectus is updated at least annually, including for any changes with the contract, like the Company: introducing or discontinuing the availability of a rider; liberalizing a benefit or exercising any rights reserved under the contract or a rider; or altering administrative procedures. The Company may also make subaccount changes (investment portfolios of the Trusts or Funds available under the contract). Any change may or may not apply to an existing contract. The prospectus reflects the status of the contract (and rider availability) as of May 1, 2009 and therefore may contain information that is inapplicable to your contract. In the event of any conflict with the prospectus, the terms of your contract and any riders will control.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950


CONTRACT OVERVIEW

The following is intended as a summary. Please read each section of this prospectus for additional detail.

Questions:

Contacting the Company. To answer your questions, contact your sales representative or write or call our Customer Service Center at:

  ING
Attn: Payout Services
One Orange Way
Windsor, CT. 06095-4774
1-800-238-6273

Sending Forms and Written Requests in Good Order. If you are writing to change your beneficiary, request a withdrawal, or for any other purpose, contact your sales representative or write or call us to learn what information is required for the request to be in “good order.”

Generally, a request is considered to be in “good order” when it is signed, dated and made with such clarity and completeness that we are not required to exercise any discretion in carrying it out.

We can only act upon requests that are received in good order.

Contract Design:

The contract described in this prospectus is a fixed and/or variable, group or individual immediate annuity contract. It is designed for individuals who would like regular income payments from an annuity contract. The term “contract” in this prospectus refers to individual contracts and to certificates issued under group contracts.

Who’s Who:

Contract Holder (you/your): The person to whom we issue an individually owned contract or the participant under a group contract.

Participant: The individual who participates in a group contract, generally in connection with a retirement plan.

The Company (we, us, our): ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue the contract.

Contract Rights:

Contract holders hold the rights under the contract. Generally, the contract holder is either an individual to whom we issue an individual contract or a participant under a group contract. For contracts issued in connection with 457 plans, the plan sponsor is the contract holder and holds the rights under the contract. Section 457 plan sponsors may allow their participants to exercise certain limited contract rights. For example, the section 457 plan sponsor has the right to make investment selections, but may permit their individual participants to exercise that right.

The Contract and Retirement Plans:

We may offer this contract to employees or other individuals in connection with a retirement plan.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  1 


Plan Type. We refer to a retirement plan by the Tax Code section under which it qualifies. For example: a “457 plan” is a plan that qualifies for tax treatment under Tax Code section 457. We are not a party to the plan, so the terms and the conditions of the contract and the plan may differ.

Use of an Annuity Contract in your Plan. Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified retirement account (such as a 401, 408(b) or 457 retirement plan), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the tax qualified account itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits such (as the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity. See “Contract Purchase or Participation.”

Contract Facts:

Income Payment Options. You may select from a number of features for your payments including but not limited to: duration, number of payees, payments to beneficiaries, guaranteed minimum payment amount, and variable or fixed payments. Some features require payment of additional fees. See “Income Payments.”

Free Look/Right to Cancel. You may cancel the contract no later than ten days of receipt (some states require more than ten days). Participants in 401 plans may cancel their participation in the contract no later than ten days after they receive evidence of participation in the contract. See “Right to Cancel.”

Death Benefit. If any guaranteed income payments remain to be paid at the time of the death of the annuitant or both annuitants, if applicable, they may be paid to your beneficiary. See “Death Benefit.”

Withdrawals. Some income payment options allow you to withdraw a portion or all of any remaining guaranteed payments. An early withdrawal charge may apply. See “Withdrawals.”

Fees. Certain fees associated with the contract will reduce income payments. See “Fee Table” and “Fees.”

Taxation. The Tax Code has certain rules that apply to amounts distributed under the contract. Tax penalties may apply if rules are not followed. See “Taxation.”

FEE TABLE

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the contract. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the contract, surrender the contract, or transfer contract value between investment options.

The tables and examples in this section show the fees that may affect the amount of variable income payments. For fees applicable to fixed income payments, see Appendix I. See “Fees” for additional information. The fees shown below do not reflect any premium tax that may apply.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract, not including Trust or Fund fees and expenses.

Maximum Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts

(Daily deductions, equal to the following percentages on an annual basis, from amounts invested in the subaccounts.)

For Contracts Without the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature:

                   Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  1.25% 
                   Administrative Expense Charge  0.00% - 0.25%(2) 
                   Total Separate Account Expenses  1.25% - 1.50% 
 
For Contracts With the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature:   
 
                   Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  1.25% 
                   Administrative Expense Charge  0.00% - 0.25%(2) 
                   Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature  1.00%(3) 
 
                   Total Separate Account Expenses  2.25% - 2.50% 

(1)      Although the maximum early withdrawal charge is 7% of the remaining guaranteed income payments withdrawn, the total early withdrawal charge deducted will not exceed 8.5% of your purchase payment to the contract. See “Fees-Early Withdrawal Charge.”
 
(2)      We currently do not impose an administrative expense charge; however, we reserve the right to impose this charge for new contracts and to deduct a daily charge from the subaccounts equivalent to not more than 0.25% annually.
 
(3)      This charge terminates after five years if the Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is elected. Otherwise, it will continue for the life of the contract.
 
ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  3 


Fees Deducted by the Funds

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by a Trust or Fund that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. The minimum and maximum expenses listed below are based on expenses for the Trust or Fund’s most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. More detail concerning each Trust or Fund’s fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each Trust or Fund.

Total Annual Trust or Fund Operating Expenses  Minimum  Maximum 

 
(expenses that are deducted from Trust or Fund assets,     
including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1)  0.35%  1.31%  
fees 1 , and other expenses):     


1      The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another.
 
  These fees are for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses shown above. See “Fees – Fund Expenses” for additional information.
 

Fund Fee Information. The fund prospectuses show the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. Fund fees are one factor that impacts the value of a fund share. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for more information and to learn more about additional factors.

The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional payments may also be used by the Company to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses. Please see “Fees –Fund Fees” for more information.

In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where an affiliated investment adviser employs subadvisers to manage the funds, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences. Investment management fees are apportioned between the affiliated investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts of revenue retained by the affiliated investment adviser. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. Please see “Fees – Fund Fees” for more information.

How Fees are Deducted. Fund fees are not deducted directly from your income payments. When a subaccount purchases shares of a fund, the fees are reflected in that purchase price, so income payments based on investments in that subaccount will be impacted indirectly by the fund fees.

Example (For contracts without the guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  4 


contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually and an administrative expense charge of 0.25% annually) and assume you have selected the “nonlifetime-guaranteed payments” income payment option for a 15-year period with a 3½% assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1)      If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would pay the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$981  $1,462  $1,968  $3,104  

2)      If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at the end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$281  $862  $1,468  $3,104  


Example (For contracts with the lifetime guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually, an administrative expense charge of 0.25% annually, and the guaranteed minimum income charge of 1.00% annually) and assume you are a 65 year old male and have selected the “life income - guaranteed payments” income payment option with payments guaranteed for 15 years and a 3½% assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1)      If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would pay the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$1,081  $1,757  $2,451  $4,021  

2)      If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at the end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$381  $1,157  $1,951  $4,021  


Example (For contracts with the five year guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  5 


For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually, an administrative expense charge of 0.25% annually, and the guaranteed minimum income charge of 1.00% annually for the first five years) and assume you have selected the “nonlifetime-guaranteed payments” income payment option for a 15 year period with a 3½% assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1)      If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would pay the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$1,081  $1,757  $2,451  $3,508  

2)      If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at the end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):
 
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$381  $1,157  $1,951  $3,508  


CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix III of this prospectus, we provide condensed financial information about the Variable Annuity Account B (the Separate Account) subaccounts you may invest in through the contract. The numbers show the year-end unit values of the subaccounts from the time purchase payments were first received in the subaccounts under the contract.

PURCHASE

Contracts Available for Purchase. The contract is designed for persons who would like to receive regular income payments from an annuity contract. It is available as either a nonqualified contract, or as a qualified contract for use with a traditional IRA under section 408(b) of the Tax Code or with retirement plans qualifying under Tax Code sections 401 or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available for 457 plans. Availability as a group contract is subject to state approval. We reserve the right to limit purchase of an individual contract to natural persons.

ERISA Notification. We must be notified by the employer or plan trustee if the contract is offered in connection with a 401 plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. You should discuss your decision to purchase a contract with your sales representative. You should understand the investment options it provides, its other features, the risks and potential benefits it includes, and the fees and expenses you will incur.

How to Purchase. You may purchase the contract by submitting your purchase payment and the required application or enrollment forms to us.

Purchase Payment Amount. To purchase a contract you must make one payment of at least $10,000. After your initial payment, no additional purchase payments may be made. We reserve the right to lower the required minimum payment, to establish a maximum payment amount and to reject any payment exceeding the maximum.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  6 


Acceptance or Rejection. We must accept or reject your application or enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying purchase payment for five business days pending completion. In all cases, we may hold a purchase payment for longer periods with your permission and if we deposit the payment in the ING VP Money Market Portfolio subaccount until the forms are completed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject your application or enrollment, we will return the forms and any purchase payment.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments, if applicable, (traveler’s checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money orders, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning your premium payment and not issuing the contract.

Age Requirements. The maximum issue age is between 75 and 95 at the time of application, depending upon the income payment option and features selected. We reserve the right to modify the maximum issue age. The contract may not be available to all issue ages through all broker-dealers.

Allocation of Your Purchase Payment to the Investment Options. We will allocate your purchase payment, less any applicable premium taxes, among the investment options you select. You may select up to four of the available variable investment options at any one time. You may also select the fixed dollar option and allocate all or a portion of your purchase payment to the general account. See “Investment Options” and “Appendix II – Description of Underlying Funds.” Allocations must be in whole percentages. Any purchase payment received before we accept the application or enrollment materials will be invested as of the day we do accept them.

State Variations

Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides a general description of the contract, so please see your contract, any endorsements and riders for the details.

Other Products. We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than these contracts, which may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may offer different share classes of the funds offered in this contract that are less expensive. These other products may or may not better match your needs. You should be aware that there are alternative options available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. These alternative options may not be available under your plan.

RIGHT TO CANCEL

When and How to Cancel. You may cancel your contract within ten days of receipt (some states require more than ten days) by returning it, or the document showing your participation under a group contract, to our Customer Service Center along with a written notice of cancellation. For contracts issued in connection with 457 plans, the contract holder may follow these procedures on behalf of the participant. Your free look rights depend on the laws of the state in which you purchase the contract.

Refunds. On the day we receive the request for cancellation in good order, we will calculate your contract value. Your refund will equal that value and will reflect deduction of any income payments made. This amount may be more or less than your purchase payment. In certain states (or if you have purchased the contract as an IRA), we may be required to return your entire purchase payment. We will issue your refund within seven days of our receipt of your request in good order.

INCOME PAYMENTS

Under the contract, we will make regular income payments to you or to a payee you designate in writing.

Initiating Payments. To initiate income payments, you must make the following selections on your application or enrollment form:

  • Payment start date;
  • Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);
  • Income payment option and any special features, such as a right to withdraw or a Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature;
  • Fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments;
  • The subaccounts to allocate your purchase payment among (only if variable payments are elected); and
  • An assumed annual net return rate (only if variable payments are elected).

Your sales representative can help you consider what selections may be appropriate for your financial goals. Generally, your selections may not be changed after the contract is issued. Some changes, such as transfers among subaccounts, may be allowed. Payments need to conform to required minimum distributions if applicable. See “Taxation.”

What Affects Income Payment Amounts?. Some of the factors that may affect the amount of your income payments include your age, gender, the amount of your purchase payment, the income payment option selected, the number of guaranteed income payments selected (if any), whether you select fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments, and, for variable payments, the assumed annual net return rate selected.

Payment Due Dates. You will generally receive your first income payment on the last day of the selected payment period. For example, if you elect to receive one payment a year, we will make the payment on the day before the anniversary of the contract effective date. An alternative first payment date may be elected subject to our approval and in compliance with IRS regulations.

Minimum Payment Amounts. For all payment options, the initial income payment must be at least $50 per month, or total yearly payments of at least $250.

Assumed Annual Net Return Rate. If you select variable income payments, you must also select an assumed annual net return rate of either 5% or 3½%.

If you select a 5% rate, your first income payment will be higher, but subsequent payments will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction of fees.

If you select a 3½% rate, your first income payment will be lower, but subsequent payments will increase more rapidly and decline more slowly depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected.

For more information about selecting an assumed annual net return rate, call us for a copy of the SAI. See “Contract Overview - Questions: Contacting the Company.”

  • A lifetime payment option
  • 100% variable payments
  • ING Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio as the only subaccount into which your purchase payment is allocated
  • 3.5% assumed annual net return rate

In addition to other contract charges, if you selected this feature the guaranteed minimum income charge will apply for the life of the contract. See “Fees.” There is no right to withdraw and no right to transfer if you selected this feature.

Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature. This feature is available only under contracts issued on or after May 1, 2001. If you select this feature, we guarantee that during the first five contract years your variable payment will never be less than the guaranteed minimum payment amount shown in your contract. The guaranteed minimum payment amount equals 90% of your estimated initial payment.

Estimated Initial Payment Amount. On the date we issue your contract we estimate the amount of your initial payment based on the value of the annuity units your payment purchase on that date. See “Calculating Variable Income Payments - Annuity Units.” Your guaranteed minimum payment amount equals 90% of this estimated amount.

This feature requires that you select at issue:

ING Strategic Allocation Growth Portfolio
ING Strategic Allocation Moderate Portfolio

The ING Oppenheimer Main Street Portfolio® is closed to new allocations effective May 1, 2009.

  • If you select this feature you may transfer only between these available funds
  • 3.5% assumed annual net return rate
  • Certain age restrictions may also apply

If you select this feature, any withdrawal during the first five contract years will result in a proportionate reduction in your guaranteed minimum payment amount.

In addition to other contract charges, if you select this feature, the guaranteed minimum income charge will apply for the first five contract years. See “Fees.”

Start Date. The contract is designed to be viewed as an immediate annuity contract under the Tax Code. For nonqualified contracts you may elect to delay your income payment start date for up to 12 months following purchase of the contract. See “Taxation” for rules applicable where death occurs before the annuity starting date under a nonqualified annuity. Consult a tax adviser before electing a delay. Annuity payments under a qualified contract must meet the required beginning date applicable to your qualified plan.

Taxation. The Tax Code has rules regarding income payments. For example, for qualified contracts, guaranteed payments may not extend beyond (a) the estimated life expectancy of the annuitant or (b) the joint life expectancies of the annuitant and beneficiary. Payments must comply with the required minimum distributions requirements of Tax Code section 401(a)(9). In some cases tax penalties will apply if rules are not followed. For tax rules that may apply to the contract see “Taxation.”

For variable payments, the right to change a payment period is available on contracts issued on or after October 1, 2000. For fixed payments, the right to change a payment period is available on contracts issued on or after May 1, 2001. The right to change a payment period may not be available in all states. Certain other conditions and restrictions may apply.

A change to a lifetime payment option and any change in the guaranteed payment period may have an impact on the amount of each payment and the amount of each payment that is taxable. For advice about how any such change will affect your taxes, consult your tax adviser.

CALCULATING VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

The amount of any variable income payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units that you hold by an annuity unit value (AUV) for each unit.

Annuity Units. When you select variable income payments, your initial purchase payment purchases annuity units of the Variable Annuity Account B subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The number of units purchased is based on your purchase payment amount and the value of each unit on the day the purchase payment is invested. Generally, the number of units will not vary over the life of the contract, but the value of each unit will vary daily based on the performance of the underlying fund and deduction of fees. Some events may result in a change in the number of units, including withdrawals, death of an annuitant if a reduction in payment to a surviving annuitant was selected, transfers among subaccounts, or a change in a guaranteed payment period. While the number of units may change if you transfer among subaccounts or make a change in a guaranteed payment period, the current value of your contract will not change as a result of either of these events.

Annuity Unit Value (AUV). The value of each annuity unit in a subaccount is called the annuity unit value or AUV. The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment performance. The value also reflects daily deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge (if any) and the guaranteed minimum income charge (if applicable). We discuss these deductions in more detail in “Fee Table” and “Fees.”

Valuation. We determine the AUV every normal business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). At that time we calculate the current AUV by multiplying the AUV last calculated by the net return factor of the subaccount, and by a factor to reflect the assumed annual net return rate. The net return factor measures the investment performance of the subaccount from one valuation to the next. The assumed annual net return rate will be either 3½% or 5% as you selected.

Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Return Factor x
Assumed Annual Net Return Rate Factor

Net Return Factor. The net return factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations equals the sum of 1.0000 plus the net return rate.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  12 


The net return rate is computed according to a formula that is equivalent to the following:

  • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount as of the current valuation; minus
  • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount at the preceding valuation; plus or minus
  • Taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, due to subaccount operations (with any federal income tax liability offset by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed); divided by
  • The total value of the subaccount’s units at the preceding valuation; minus
  • A daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge (if any) and the guaranteed minimum income charge (if applicable). See “Fees.”

The net return rate may be either positive or negative.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

When you purchase the contract, your purchase payment (less any applicable premium tax) will be applied to the investment options you select. If you select variable investment options, you will receive variable income payments. If you select the fixed dollar option, you will receive fixed income payments. If you select one or more variable investment options and the fixed dollar option, a portion of your payment will vary and a portion will remain fixed.

Variable Income Payments. If you select variable income payments, the amount of your income payments will vary based on the performance of the variable investment options that you select. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account B (“the separate account”), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in a specific mutual fund (fund). You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.

Mutual Fund (Fund) Descriptions. We provide brief descriptions of the funds in Appendix II. Investment results of the funds are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their respective investment objectives. Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in the funds. Shares of the funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Unless otherwise noted, all funds are diversified as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional information. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, from our Customer Service Center at the address and telephone number listed in “Contract Overview - Questions: Contacting the Company,” by accessing the SEC’s website or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.

Fixed Income Payments. If you select fixed payments, your purchase payment will be applied to the fixed dollar option and the amount of your payments will not vary. Except where noted, this prospectus describes only the variable investment options. The fixed dollar option is described in Appendix I.

Number of Options You May Select. You may select up to eighteen subaccounts and/or the fixed dollar option at any one time.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  13 


Selecting Investment Options

  • Choose options appropriate for you. Your sales representative can help you evaluate which investment options may be appropriate for your financial goals.
  • Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some subaccounts invest in funds that are considered riskier than others. Funds with additional risks are expected to have values that rise and fall more rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international securities are subject to risks not associated with domestic investments, and their investment performance may vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy may be subject to additional risks.
  • Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses and the Fixed Dollar Option appendix in this prospectus.

Additional Risks of Investing in the Funds (Mixed and Shared Funding)

“Shared funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are also bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts.

“Mixed funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are bought for variable life insurance contracts issued by us or other insurance companies.

  • Shared - bought by more than one company.
  • Mixed - bought for annuities and life insurance.

It is possible that a conflict of interest may arise due to mixed and/or shared funding, which could adversely impact the value of a fund. For example, if a conflict of interest occurred and one of the subaccounts withdrew its investment in a fund, the fund may be forced to sell its securities at disadvantageous prices, causing its share value to decrease. Each fund’s board of directors or trustees will monitor events to identify any conflicts which may arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts.

Limits on Availability of Options. Some funds may be unavailable through your contract or plan or in some states. We may add, withdraw or substitute funds, subject to the conditions in your contract and in compliance with regulatory requirements. In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced.

Transfers Among Variable Investment Options. You may transfer amounts among the available subaccounts. The Company reserves the right to limit such transfers to 12 in any calendar year and to establish a minimum transfer amount. Transfers are not allowed into or out of the fixed dollar option.

Transfer Requests. Requests may be made, after the contract is issued, in writing, by telephone or, where applicable, electronically.

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

  • Increased trading and transaction costs;
  • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
  • Lost opportunity costs; and

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950

14


  • Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all contract owners.

This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the contract.

Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the ING family of companies that provide multi-fund variable insurance and retirement products, have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and reallocation activity:

  • Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
  • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.

  We currently define Excessive Trading as:

  • More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of Excessive Trading; or
  • Six round-trips involving the same fund within a twelve month period.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

  • Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, withdrawals and loans);
  • Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;
  • Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
  • Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
  • Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of insurance companies or a fund.

If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip involving the same fund, we will send them a letter (once per year) warning that another sale of that same fund within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit. (VRU), telephone calls to the ING Customer Service Center, or other electronic trading medium that we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip in the prior twelve month period will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  15 


of the warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity.

If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those which involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.

Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of contract owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract owners or, as applicable, to all contract owners investing in the underlying fund.

Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of insurance companies, either by prospectus or stated contract, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the fund.

Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the contract. Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  16 


companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the company is required to share information regarding contract owner transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner transactions, this information may include personal contract owner information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract owner’s transactions if the fund determines that the contract owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or contract value to the fund or all funds within the fund family.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent use of telephone and electronic transactions (including, but not limited to, internet transactions), we have established security procedures. These include recording calls on our toll-free telephone lines and requiring use of a personal identification number (PIN) to execute transactions. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and account information confidential. Please be advised that the risk of a fraudulent transaction is increased with telephone or electronic transaction (for example, a facsimile withdrawal request form), even if appropriate identifying information is provided. If we fail to follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or other electronic transactions. We are not liable for losses resulting from telephone or electronic instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the loss.

FEES

The following repeats and adds to information provided under “Fee Table.” Please review both sections for information on fees.

Transaction Fee

Early Withdrawal Charge

Withdrawals of all or a portion of the present value of remaining guaranteed income payments may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. In the case of a partial withdrawal, the amount withdrawn from your account will be the amount you specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge. Not all contracts permit withdrawals. See “Withdrawals.”

Amount: The charge is a percentage of the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments that you withdraw. The percentage will be determined by the early withdrawal charge schedule applicable to your contract. Although the maximum early withdrawal charge is 7% of the remaining guaranteed payments withdrawn, the total early withdrawal charge will never be more than 8½% of your purchase payment to the contract.

Early Withdrawal Charge Schedules

When/How. At the time of withdrawal we deduct this charge from the amount withdrawn.

Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses us for some of the sales and administrative expenses associated with the contract. If our expenses are greater than the amount we collect for the early withdrawal charge, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit that may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge, to make up any difference.

Fees Deducted from Investments in the Separate Account

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

Maximum Amount: 1.25% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select.

Purpose. This charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contract.

  • The mortality risks are those risks associated with our promise to make lifetime income payments based on annuity rates specified in the contract.
  • The expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contract will exceed the maximum costs that we can charge.

If the amount we deduct for this charge is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contract, we will bear the loss. We may use any excess to recover distribution costs relating to the contract and as a source of profit. We expect to make a profit from this charge.

Administrative Expense Charge

Maximum Amount: We currently do not charge an administrative expense charge. We reserve, however, the right to charge up to 0.25% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. If imposed, we deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select.

Purpose. This charge helps defray our administrative expenses. This charge is not intended to exceed the average expected cost of administering the contract. We do not expect to make a profit from this charge.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  18 


Guaranteed Minimum Income Charge

This additional charge is assessed only if you select one of the guaranteed minimum income features.

Maximum Amount: 1.00% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. If the Lifetime Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is selected, this charge will be assessed for the life of the contract. If the Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is selected, this charge will be assessed only during the first five contract years.

Purpose. This charge compensates us for the additional mortality and expense risks we assume by guaranteeing minimum income payments. For additional information regarding those risks, see “Mortality and Expense Risk Charge—Purpose” above.

Reduction or Elimination of Certain Fees

When sales of the contract are made to individuals or a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of sales or administration expenses, we may reduce or eliminate the early withdrawal charge or mortality and expense risk charge. Our decision to reduce or eliminate either of these charges will be based on one or more of the following:

  • The size and type of group of individuals to whom the contract is issued;
  • A prior or existing relationship with the Company, such as being an employee or former employee of the Company or one of its affiliates, receiving distributions or making transfers from other contracts issued by us or one of our affiliates, or transferring amounts held under qualified plans sponsored by the Company or an affiliate; or
  • The type and frequency of administrative and sales services to be provided.

The reduction or elimination of any of these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person and will be done according to our rules in effect at the time the contract is issued. We reserve the right to change these rules from time to time. The right to reduce or eliminate any of these charges may be subject to state approval.

Fund Fees

As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “Fee Table – Fees Deducted by the Funds” section of this prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and contract owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain 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. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.

The company or its U.S. affiliates receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the contract. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining the contract fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our policies. 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.

In terms of total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate but subadvised by unaffiliated third parties generally generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  19 


unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue. The company expects to make a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but that are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds may include:

  • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets;
  • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets;
  • For certain share classes, the company or its affiliates may also receive compensation paid out of 12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
  • Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees.

These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from unaffiliated funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts received may be significant.

Revenues received by the company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds include:

  • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
  • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in each fund prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the contract.

These revenues are received as cash payments.

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may make fixed dollar payments to help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to, co-branded marketing materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for sales personnel and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  20 


No unaffiliated funds are currently offered through the contract.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the ING American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated funds as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. The “Master Feeder” funds available under the contract are identified in the list of investment portfolios toward the front of this prospectus.

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 “Other Topics – Contract Distribution.”

Premium and Other Taxes

Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction.

When/How. Our current practice is to reflect the cost of premium taxes in our income payment rates. We reserve the right, however, to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your purchase payment on the contract effective date. We will not deduct a charge for any municipal premium tax of 1% or less, but we reserve the right to reflect such an expense in our annuity purchase rates.

In addition, we reserve the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account. See “Taxation.”

DEATH BENEFIT

The following describes the death benefit applicable to variable income payments. These are also outlined under “Income Payments—Payment Options.” For information on the death benefit applicable to the fixed dollar option, refer to Appendix I.

See “Income Payments” for a definition of annuitant and beneficiary as used in this section.

Payment of Death Benefit. Upon the death of the annuitant and any surviving joint annuitant, if applicable, a death benefit may be payable if your contract is issued under any of the following income payment options:

1.      Life Income - Guaranteed Payments;
 
2.      Life Income - Two Lives — Guaranteed Payments; or
 
3.      Nonlifetime - Guaranteed Payments.
 

Any death benefit will be paid in the form specified in the contract and will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect upon the date of death. See “Taxation” for rules where you have elected to delay your payment start date under a nonqualified annuity and you die before the income payment start date. Under payment options 1 and 2 above, a lump-sum payment of the present value of any death benefit may be requested within six months following the date of death. A lump-sum payment may be requested at any time (even after the six month period) if you had elected the right to withdraw. Under payment option 3 above, a lump-sum payment of the present value of any death benefit may be requested at any time. If a lump-sum payment is requested, no early withdrawal charge is applied and payment will be sent within seven days following our receipt of your request in good order.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  21 


Calculation of Lump-Sum Payment of the Death Benefit. The value of the lump-sum payment of the death benefit will equal the present value of any remaining guaranteed income payments, calculated using the same rate we used to calculate the income payments (i.e., the 3½% or 5% assumed annual net return rate used for variable payments). We will calculate this value on the next valuation date following our receipt of proof of death acceptable to us and payment request in good order. Such value will reflect any payments made after the date of death. See “Appendix I - Fixed Dollar Option” for information on calculation of a lump-sum payment of the death benefit applicable to the fixed dollar option.

Who Receives Death Benefit Proceeds? The beneficiary is the person entitled to receive any death benefit proceeds. We will pay any death benefit proceeds based on the last written beneficiary designation on file at our Customer Service Center as of the date of death.

Changes in Beneficiary Designations. The designated beneficiary may be changed at any time during the lifetime of the annuitant and the joint annuitant (if applicable). Such change must be submitted to us in writing, and except for contracts issued in New York, will become effective as of the date written notice of the change is received and recorded by us. For contracts issued in New York, the change will become effective as of the date the notice is signed. However, our obligation to pay death benefits will be fully discharged upon payment to the beneficiary named in the written notice of beneficiary designation that we last received as of the date of such payment.

Some restrictions may apply to beneficiary changes under qualified contracts.

WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawals of Variable Income Payments

You may make partial or full withdrawals of the present value of any remaining guaranteed variable income payments if you are receiving payments under either one of the following:

  • A lifetime payment option with guaranteed payments and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year (subject to state approval).
  • The nonlifetime payment option.

Partial withdrawals are allowed only if each remaining guaranteed payment will be at least $50. If you selected the Lifetime Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature, you may not make any withdrawals.

Withdrawals of Fixed Income Payments

(For additional details see “Appendix I- Fixed Dollar Option.”)

You may make partial or full withdrawals of the present value of any remaining fixed income payments if you are receiving payments under either one of the following:

  • A lifetime payment option with guaranteed payments and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year (subject to state approval).
  • The nonlifetime payment option and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year.

Partial withdrawals are allowed only if each remaining guaranteed payment will be at least $50.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  22 


Withdrawal Value

Variable Income Payments. For any withdrawal of remaining variable guaranteed income payments, the amount available for withdrawal is equal to the present value of any remaining guaranteed variable payments (less any applicable early withdrawal charge) calculated using the same rate we used to calculate the income payments (i.e., the 3½% or 5% assumed annual net return rate stated in your contract). Withdrawal values are determined as of the valuation date following our receipt of your written request in good order at our Customer Service Center.

Fixed Income Payments. See “Appendix I – Fixed Dollar Option” for details regarding the withdrawal value of fixed payments.

Early Withdrawal Charge

Withdrawals may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as described in “Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge.”

Reduction of Remaining Payments

Any withdrawal will result in a proportionate reduction of any remaining guaranteed payments and any applicable guaranteed minimum payment amount. Additionally, the withdrawal amount will be taken from the subaccounts proportionately, unless you designate otherwise. For lifetime income payment options, any payments to be made beyond the guaranteed payment period will be unaffected by any withdrawals.

TAXATION

Introduction

This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. Federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading it:

  • Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as applicable) determines federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract;
  • Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past;
  • This section addresses some but not all applicable federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes, or any other tax provisions; and
  • We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the contract.

We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the effect of federal income taxes or any other taxes on amounts held or paid out under the contract, consult a tax adviser. For more comprehensive information, contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Types of Contracts: Non-Qualified or Qualified

The contract may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis (non-qualified contracts) or purchased on a tax-qualified basis (qualified contracts).

Non-qualified contracts are purchased with after tax contributions and are not related to retirement plans that receive special income tax treatment under the Tax Code.

Qualified contracts are designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans that are intended to qualify for special income tax treatment under Sections 401, 408 or 408A, and some provisions of 403 and 457 of the Tax Code.

Effective January 1, 2009, except in the case of a rollover contribution as permitted under the Tax Code or as a result of an intra-plan exchange or plan-to-plan transfer described under the Final Regulations, contributions to a

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  23 


section 403(b) tax sheltered annuity contract may only be made by the Employer sponsoring the Plan under which the assets in your contract are covered subject to the applicable Treasury Regulations and only if the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees to be an approved provider.

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

Contributions

You may not deduct the amount of your contributions to a non-qualified contract.

Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution

     Tax Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that if you are a natural person you will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a non-qualified contract until a distribution occurs or until annuity payments begin. This assumes that the contract will qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation, the following requirements must be satisfied:

     Diversification. Tax Code Section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified contract the investments of the funds be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the contract to qualify as an annuity contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Tax Code Section 817(h) and by the Treasury in Reg. Sec. 1.817 -5, which affects how the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your contract does not satisfy the applicable diversification requirements and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate steps to bring your contract into compliance with such regulations and rulings, and we reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to do so.

     Investor Control. Although earnings under non-qualified contracts are generally not taxed until withdrawn, the IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control over the assets. In these circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible in the variable contract owner’s gross income. Future guidance regarding the extent to which owners could direct their investments among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract holder from being considered the federal tax owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the separate account.

     Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Tax Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The non-qualified contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. When such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review such distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements.

     Non-Natural Holders of a Non-Qualified Contract. If you are not a natural person, a non-qualified contract generally is not treated as an annuity for income tax purposes and the income on the contract for the taxable year is currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract is any increase in the contract value over the “investment in the contract” (generally, the premiums or other consideration you paid for the contract less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a non-natural person should consult with its tax adviser prior to purchasing the contract. When the contract owner is not a natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner.

     Delayed Annuity Starting Date. If the contract’s annuity starting date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at a time when the annuitant has reached an advanced age (e.g., after age 85), it is possible that the contract would not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the contract could be currently includible in your income.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  24 


Taxation of Distributions

     General. When a withdrawal from a non-qualified contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the amount of any surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the contract at that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made.

In the case of a surrender under a non-qualified contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the contract owner’s investment in the contract (cost basis).

     10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a non-qualified contract may be subject to a federal tax penalty equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions:

  • Made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;
  • Made on or after the death of a contract owner (the annuitant if the contract owner is a non-natural person);
  • Attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code;
  • Made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary; or
  • The distribution is allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982.

The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

     Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in the old contract will carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding procedures for making Section 1035 exchanges.

If your contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract that was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax purposes, as coming:

  • First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982 and exchanged into the contract;
  • Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 1982;
  • Then, from any remaining “income on the contract;” and
  • Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract.”

The IRS has concluded that in certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for another contract will be tax-free. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of withdrawals, surrenders or annuity payments (annuitizations) from either the original contract or the new contract during the 12 month period following the partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the partial surrender of the original contract will be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of gain in the original contract and, if the partial exchange occurred prior to you reaching age 59 1/2 , may be subject to an additional 10% tax penalty. A taxable event may be avoided if requirements identified as a qualifying event are satisfied. We are not responsible for the manner in which any other insurance company, for tax reporting purposes, or the IRS, with respect to the ultimate tax treatment, recognizes or reports a partial exchange. We strongly advise you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 12 months with your tax advisor prior to proceeding with the transaction.

     Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  25 


taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.

The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitizations as withdrawals rather than as annuity payments. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

     Death Benefits. Amounts may be distributed from a contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments. Special rules may apply to amounts distributed after a Beneficiary has elected to maintain contract value and receive payments.

Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs:

  • After you begin receiving annuity payments under the contract; or
  • Before you begin receiving such distributions.

If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death.

If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed within five years after the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1, 2008, your entire balance must be distributed by August 31, 2013. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments may be made over one of the following timeframes:

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

If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies, the same rules apply on the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a contract owner.

The contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value. Certain charges are imposed with respect to the death benefit. It is possible that these charges (or some portion thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the contract.

     Assignments and Other Transfers. A transfer, pledge or assignment of ownership of a non-qualified contract, the selection of certain annuity dates, or the designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. The assignment, pledge or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. Anyone contemplating any such transfer, pledge, assignment, or designation or exchange, should consult a tax adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

     Immediate Annuities. Under Section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity (1) which is purchased with a single premium, (2) with annuity payments starting within one year from the date of purchase, and (3) which provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more frequently. While this contract is not designed as an immediate annuity, treatment as an immediate annuity would have significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non-natural persons, and for certain exchanges.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  26 


     Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a company or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code Section 72(e). In addition, the Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise.

     Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer identification number or if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is incorrect. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment.

Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made to residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. If you need more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, please contact our Customer Service Center.

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

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

General

     The contracts are primarily designed for use with IRAs under Tax Code Sections 401, 408 or 408A, and some provisions of 403 and 457 (We refer to all of these as “qualified plans”). The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a contract, or on annuity payments, depends on the type of retirement plan and your tax status. 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 plan in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.

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 in other specified circumstances. Some qualified plans may be subject to additional distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the contract. No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the contracts with qualified plans. Contract owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under these qualified plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans 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 the contract, unless we consent.

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 seek competent legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of a contract for your particular situation. The following discussion assumes that qualified contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment.

Tax Deferral

     Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as defined in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as guaranteed living

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  27 


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 your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.

     Section 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), and 403(a) Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 403(a) of the Tax Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the plans. Employers intending to use the contract with such plans should seek competent legal advice.

The contracts may also be available as a Roth 401(k), as described in Tax Code Section 402A, and we may set up accounts for you under the contract for Roth 401(k) contributions (“Roth 401(k) accounts”). Tax Code Section 402A allows employees of certain private employers to contribute after-tax salary contributions to a Roth 401(k), which provides for tax-free distributions, subject to certain restrictions.

     Individual Retirement Annuities. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”). IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution, the persons who may be eligible, and the time when distributions commence. 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. 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 1-year period. Sales of the contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements of the IRS.

The IRS has not reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements.

     Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be eligible to contribute, are not deductible, 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 1-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 the conversion was made.

Sales of a contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements.

     Section 403(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The contracts are no longer available for purchase as Tax Code section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. Existing contracts issued as Tax Code section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities will continue to be maintained as such under the applicable rules and regulations.

The Treasury Department has issued regulations which generally take effect on January 1, 2009. Existing contracts will be modified as necessary to comply with these regulations where allowed, or where required by law in order to maintain their status as section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. The final regulations include: (a) the ability to terminate a 403(b) plan, which would entitle a participant to a distribution; (b) the revocation of IRS Revenue Ruling 90-24, and the resulting increase in restrictions on a participant’s right to transfer his or her 403(b) accounts; and (c) the imposition of withdrawal restrictions on non-salary reduction contribution amounts, as well as other changes.

Contributions

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

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  28 


contributions to a qualified contract.

Distributions – General

     Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a contract including withdrawals, annuity payments, rollovers, exchanges and death benefit proceeds. We report the taxable portion of all distributions to the IRS.

     Section 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) Plans. Distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one of the following is true:

  • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
  • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
  • The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

  A payment is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

  • Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10 years or more;
  • A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
  • A hardship withdrawal;
  • Otherwise excludable from income; or
  • Not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a 401(a), 401(k) or 403(a) plan 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 Tax Code;
  • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
  • You have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age 55;
  • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
  • You have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or the life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary;
  • 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 (401(k) plans only).

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 Tax Code. The Tax Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalties in other circumstances.

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

  • The distribution is rolled over to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Tax Code; or
  • You made after-tax contributions to the IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according to rules
ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  29 


  detailed in the Tax Code.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from an 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 Tax Code;
  • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
  • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
  • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
  • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a 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 a distribution made from an IRA to pay for health insurance premiums for certain unemployed individuals, a qualified first-time home purchase, or for higher education expenses.

     Roth IRAs. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is not taxed when it is received. A qualified distribution is a distribution:

  • Made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA of the owner; and
  • Made after you attain age 59½, die, become disabled as defined in the Tax Code, or for a qualified first- time home purchase.

If a distribution is not qualified, generally it will be taxable to the extent of the accumulated earnings. A partial distribution will first be treated as a return of contributions which is not taxable and then as taxable accumulated earnings.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above also apply to a distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution or a rollover to a Roth IRA that is not a qualified rollover contribution. The 10% penalty tax is also waived on a distribution made from a Roth IRA to pay for health insurance premiums for certain unemployed individuals, used for a qualified first-time home purchase, or for higher education expenses.

     403(b) Plans. Distributions from your contract are subject to the requirements of Tax Code Section 403(b), the Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan under which the assets in your contract are covered. In accordance with Tax Code Section 403(b) and the Treasury Regulations, we have no responsibility or obligation to make any distribution (including distributions due to loans, annuity payouts, qualified domestic relations orders, hardship withdrawals and systematic distributions options) from your contract until we have received instructions or information from your Employer and/or its designee or, if permitted under Tax Code Section 403(b) and the Treasury Regulations, you in a form acceptable to us and necessary for us to administer your contract in accordance with Tax Code Section 403(b), the Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan.

All distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one of the following is true:

  • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
  • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
  • The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired public safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  30 


A payment is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

  • Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10 years or more;
  • A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
  • A hardship withdrawal;
  • Otherwise excludable from income; or
  • Not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a 403(b) plan, unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above also apply to a distribution from a 403(b) plan, plus in the event you have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age 55, or you have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or the life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary. 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 Tax Code. The Tax Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalty taxes in other circumstances.

Distribution of amounts restricted under Tax Code Section 403(b)(11) may only occur upon your death, attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, disability or financial hardship. Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions under the Tax Code and the regulations.

     Special Hurricane-Related Relief. The Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act provide tax relief to victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. The relief includes a waiver of the 10% penalty tax on qualified hurricane distributions from eligible retirement plans. In addition, the 20% mandatory withholding rules do not apply to these distributions and the tax may be spread out ratably over a three-year period. A recipient of a qualified hurricane distribution may also elect to re-contribute all or a portion of the distribution to an eligible retirement plan within three (3) years of receipt without tax consequences. Other relief may also apply. You should consult a competent tax adviser for further information.

     Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and IRAs only).

     To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must also meet the minimum distribution requirements imposed by the Tax Code. These rules may dictate the following:

  • 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 the 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 Tax Code Section 401(a)(9). 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.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  31 


     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 (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). Different distribution requirements apply 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. Tax Code Section 401(a)(9) provides specific rules for calculating the required minimum distributions after your death.

If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the 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, 2006, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31, 2011. 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 containing the fifth anniversary of the contract owner’s 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 is 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.

Withholding

     Any taxable distributions under the contract are generally subject to withholding. Federal income tax liability rates vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient’s tax status.

     401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b). Generally, distributions from these plans are subject to mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. However, mandatory withholding will not be required if you elect a direct rollover of the distributions to an eligible retirement plan or in the case of certain distributions described in the Tax Code.

     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 Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status, and we may require additional documentation prior to processing any requested distribution.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  32 


Assignment and Other Transfers

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

     Section 403(b) Plans. Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your beneficial interest in the contract is assigned or transferred to persons other than:

  • A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;
  • An alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code Section 414(p); or
  • The Company as collateral for a loan.

Tax Consequences of Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature

Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments, or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. For nonqualified contracts, the income on the contract for purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear. For example, the living benefits provided under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature could increase the contract value that applies. Thus, the income on the contract could be higher than the amount of income that would be determined without regard to such a benefit. As a result, you could have higher amounts of income than will be reported to you. In addition, payments under any guaranteed payment phase of such riders after the contract value has been reduced to zero may be subject to the exclusion ratio rules under Tax Code Section 72(b) for tax purposes.

The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitization, such as those associated with the minimum guaranteed income benefit as withdrawals rather than annuity payments. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

Possible Changes in Taxation

Although the likelihood of legislative change and tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change could be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the contract.

Taxation of Company

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The Separate Account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the Company.

We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the contracts. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the separate account before being used by the Company.

In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this case, we may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the Contracts) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your account value invested in the subaccounts.

OTHER TOPICS

Variable Annuity Account B

We established Variable Annuity Account B (the “separate account”) under Connecticut Law in 1976 as a continuation of the separate account established in 1974 under Arkansas Law by Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company. The separate account was established as a segregated asset account to fund variable annuity contracts. The separate account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It also meets the definition of separate account under the federal securities laws.

The separate account is divided into subaccounts. These subaccounts invest directly in shares of a pre-assigned fund.

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 contract are obligations of the Company.

The Company

We issue the contract described in this prospectus and are responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and annuity benefits.

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger our operations include the business of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Although we are a subsidiary of ING, ING is not responsible for the obligations under the contract. The obligations under the contract are solely the responsibility of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities.

Our principal executive offices are located at:

One Orange Way
Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774

Regulatory Matters

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received 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 financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters. Federal and state regulators and self-regulatory agencies are conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and have cooperated and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  34 


Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Action has been or may be taken by regulators with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental and self-regulatory authorities. Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to nonqualified annuity product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. (See “Federal Tax Considerations” for further discussion of some of these requirements.). Failure to administer certain nonqualified contract features (for example, contractual annuity start dates in nonqualified annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and distribution, and administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the Company to administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs.

Contract Distribution

The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774.

The contracts are offered to the public by individuals who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or other broker-dealers which have entered into a selling arrangement with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We refer to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and the other broker-dealers selling the contracts as “distributors.”

All registered representatives selling the contracts must also be licensed as insurance agents for the Company. The following is a list of broker/dealers that are affiliated with the Company:

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  35 


  • Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc.
  • Directed Services LLC
  • Financial Network Investment Corporation
  • Guaranty Brokerage Services, Inc.
  • ING America Equities, Inc.
  • ING Direct Funds Limited
  • ING Financial Advisors, LLC
  • ING Financial Markets LLC
  • ING Financial Partners, Inc.
  • ING Funds Distributor, LL
  • ING Investment Advisors, LLC
  • ING Investment Management Services LLC
  • Multi-Financial Securities Corporation
  • PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc.
  • ShareBuilder Securities Corporation
  • Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc.

Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by contract owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts.

Commission Payments. Persons who offer and sell the contracts may be paid a commission. The maximum percentage amount that may be paid with respect to a given purchase payment is the first-year percentage which ranges from 0% to a maximum of 7.0% of the first year of payments to an account. Renewal commissions paid on payments made after the first year and asset-based service fees may also be paid. In addition, we may also pay ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.0% of the commissions paid during the year in connection with certain premium received during that year, if the registered representative attains a certain threshold of sales of Company contracts. Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, depending upon the firm’s practices. Commissions and annual payments, when combined, could exceed 7.0% of total premium payments. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may also pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or other compensation to distributors, which may require the registered representative to attain a certain threshold of sales of Company products.

We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms’ aggregate or anticipated sales of the contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered to all distributors, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors based on various factors. Any such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including trips, and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Management personnel of the Company, and of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of investments in the contracts and other products issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts.

In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, ING Financial Advisers, LLC may also pay distributors 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 year;
  • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or
ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  36 


    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 this product;
  • 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 policies; and
  • Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

We 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 contracts.

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

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  37 


Payment Delay or Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under the following circumstances:

  • On any valuation date when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary holidays or weekends) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
  • When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of the securities held in the subaccounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the subaccount’s assets; or
  • During any other periods the SEC permits for the protection of investors.

The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Voting Rights

Each of the subaccounts holds shares in a fund and each is entitled to vote at regular and special meetings of that fund. Under our current view of applicable law, we will vote the shares for each subaccount as instructed by persons having a voting interest in the subaccount. We will vote shares for which instructions have not been received in the same proportion as those for which we received instructions. The effect of proportional voting is that a small number of contract owners may decide the outcome of a vote. Each person who has a voting interest in the separate account will receive periodic reports relating to the funds in which he or she has an interest, as well as any proxy materials and a form on which to give voting instructions. Voting instructions will be solicited by a written communication at least 14 days before the meeting.

The number of votes (including fractional votes) you are entitled to direct will be determined as of the record date set by any fund you invest in through the subaccounts. The number of votes is equal to the portion of reserves set aside for the contract’s share of the fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund.

Contract Modification

We may change the contract as required by federal or state law or as otherwise permitted in the contract. In addition, we may, upon 30 day’s written notice to the group contract holder, make other changes to a group contract that would apply only to individuals who become participants under that contract after the effective date of such changes. If a group contract holder does not agree to a change, we reserve the right to refuse to establish new accounts under the contract. Certain changes will require the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities.

Transfer of Ownership

Ownership of the contract may be changed to the extent permitted by law. You should immediately notify the Company, in writing, of any change in ownership. No such ownership change will be binding until such notification is received and recorded at our Customer Service Center. We reserve the right to reject transfer of ownership to a non-natural person. A transfer of ownership may have tax consequences and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser before transferring ownership of the contract.

Legal Matters and Proceedings

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve the variable account as a party.

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover,

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  38 


certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract, is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits, arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of theses suits may seek class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

  APPENDIX I

Fixed Dollar Option

The following summarizes material information concerning the fixed dollar option. You may choose to allocate all or a portion of your purchase payment to the fixed dollar option. If you choose the fixed dollar option, your income payments will generally remain fixed as specified in your contract over the term of the contract. Your fixed payment may vary due to factors including your selection of an increasing annuity or your election and use of a right to withdraw. In certain cases, you may elect a right to withdraw any remaining guaranteed payments (see “Withdrawals” in this appendix). Amounts allocated to the fixed dollar option are held in the Company’s general account that supports general insurance and annuity obligations.

Interests in the fixed dollar option have not been registered with the SEC in reliance upon exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the fixed dollar option may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of such statements. Disclosure in this appendix regarding the fixed dollar option has not been reviewed by the SEC.

Payment Options

All of the payment options described under “Income Payments” in this prospectus are available for the fixed dollar option. If you allocate all of your purchase payment to the fixed dollar option, you may also elect one of the following features in connection with your fixed income payments:

(a)      A Cash Refund Feature. (Only available if you select 100% fixed payments.) With this feature, if the annuitant or both annuitants (as applicable) die, then the beneficiary will receive a lump-sum payment equal to the purchase payment allocated to the fixed dollar option less any premium tax and less the total amount of fixed income payments paid prior to such death. The cash refund feature may be elected only with a “life income” or “life income-two lives” payment option that has no reduction in payment to the survivor, see “Income Payments—Payment Options.” You may not elect a right to withdraw or elect an increasing annuity with this feature.
 
(b)      An Increasing Annuity. (Only available if you select 100% fixed payments.) With this feature you may elect for your payments to increase by either one, two, or three percent, compounded annually. The higher your percentage, the lower your initial payment will be. This is available with any payment option, except for those with a reduction in payment to the survivor, see “Income Payments - Payment Options.” You may not elect a right to withdraw or elect the cash refund feature with an increasing annuity. This feature is not available under contracts purchased in conjunction with Section 457 deferred compensation plans.
 

Fixed Income Payment Amounts

The amount of each payment depends upon (1) the purchase payment that you allocate to the fixed dollar option, less any premium tax, and (2) the payment option and features chosen.

Withdrawals

Withdrawal Value - Lifetime Payment Options. If you select a lifetime payment option with guaranteed payments and elect the right to make withdrawals, the withdrawal amount available from any fixed portion of remaining guaranteed payments is equal to the present value of the remaining fixed portion of guaranteed payments calculated using the contract rate adjusted by the change in the constant maturity ten year Treasury note rate from your contract effective date to the date we calculate the withdrawal value. Any applicable early withdrawal charge will be deducted.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  I-1 


Withdrawal Value - Nonlifetime Payment Options. If you select a nonlifetime payment option and elect the right to make withdrawals, the withdrawal amount available from any fixed portion of remaining guaranteed payments is equal to the present value of the remaining fixed portion of guaranteed payments calculated using the adjusted contract rate. The calculation is presented below. Any applicable early withdrawal charge will be deducted.

The adjusted contract rate equals (Rate of Return) + WY - IY, where:

Rate of Return is the fixed annuity present value interest rate shown in your contract WY is the withdrawal yield IY is the issue yield

WY is determined as follows:

(1)      WY is the average of the yields, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Friday before the date of the withdrawal, of non-callable, non-inflation adjusted Treasury Notes or Bonds maturing on or closest to the withdrawal duration date.
 
(2)      The withdrawal duration date is the date (month and year) obtained when the withdrawal duration is added to the date of the withdrawal.
 
(3)      Withdrawal duration equals 1 plus the number of whole years from the date of the withdrawal until the final guaranteed payment is due, divided by 2. Any resulting fraction will be rounded up to the next whole number.
 

  IY is determined as follows:

(1)      IY is the average of the yields, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Friday before the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date shown in your contract, of non-callable, non-inflation adjusted Treasury Notes or Bonds maturing on or closest to the issue duration date.
 
(2)      The issue duration date (month and year) is obtained when the issue duration is added to the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date.
 
(3)      Issue duration equals 1 plus the number of whole years from the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date until the final payment is due, divided by 2. Any resulting fraction will be rounded up to the next whole number.
 
(4)      Benefit change date is the date of the most recent change, if any, of the guaranteed payment period.
 

Early Withdrawal Charge

Withdrawals may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. The charge is a percentage of the amount that you withdraw. The percentage will be determined by the early withdrawal charge schedule applicable to your contract:

Schedule A: Subject to state approval, Schedule A applies to contracts issued on or after May 3, 1999.

                                                   Schedule A   

Number of Years from  Early Withdrawal Charge 
Contract Effective Date*  6% 
1 or more, but fewer than 2  5% 
2 or more, but fewer than 3  4% 
3 or more, but fewer than 4  3% 
4 or more, but fewer than 5  2% 
5 or more, but fewer than 6  1% 
6 or more, but fewer than 7  0% 
7 or more   


ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  I-2 


Schedule B: Applies to contracts issued prior to May 3, 1999. It also applies to contracts issued on or after May 3, 1999 in states where Schedule A is not approved as of the contract effective date.

                                                   Schedule B   

Number of Years from  Early Withdrawal Charge 
Contract Effective Date*  5% 
1 or more, but fewer than 2  4% 
2 or more, but fewer than 3  4% 
3 or more, but fewer than 4  3% 
4 or more, but fewer than 5  2% 
5 or more, but fewer than 6  1% 
6 or more, but fewer than 7  0% 
7 or more   


*      For participants under a group contract, the early withdrawal charge will be calculated based on the number of years from the certificate effective date.
 

The early withdrawal charge, in effect, is a deferred sales charge imposed to reimburse the Company for unrecovered acquisition and distribution costs.

Reduction or Elimination of the Early Withdrawal Charge. We may reduce or eliminate the early withdrawal charge when sales of the contract are made to individuals or a group of individuals in such a manner that results in savings of sales expenses. The entitlement to such a reduction in the early withdrawal charge will be based on one or more of the following criteria:

(a)      The size and type of group of individuals to whom the contract is offered;
 
(b)      The type and frequency of administrative and sales services to be provided; or
 
(c)      Whether there is a prior or existing relationship with the Company such as being an employee or former employee of the Company or one of its affiliate; receiving distributions or making internal transfers from other contracts issued by the Company or one of its affiliates; or making transfers of amounts held under qualified plans sponsored by the Company or an affiliate.
 

Any reduction or elimination of the early withdrawal charge will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person.

Death Benefit

If the annuitant or both annuitants, as applicable, die before all guaranteed payments are paid, payments will continue to the beneficiary in the manner stated in your contract.

Payment of Death Benefit. Any death benefit will be paid in the form specified in the contract and will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect upon the date of death. See “Taxation” for rules that apply if you have elected to delay your payment start date under a nonqualified annuity and you die before the annuity starting date. A lump-sum payment of any death benefit may be requested within six months following the date of death. If a lump-sum payment is requested, no early withdrawal charge is applied and payment will be sent within seven days following our receipt of request in good order. A lump-sum payment may be requested at anytime (even after the six month period) if you had elected the right to withdraw. If a cash refund feature was elected, the death benefit will be paid in one lump sum to the beneficiary.

If the contract holder who is not the annuitant dies, income payments will continue to be paid to the payee in the form specified in the contract. If no payee survives the death of the contract holder, income payments will be made to the annuitant. Such payments will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution then in effect.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  I-3 


Death Benefit Amount. If you elect a right to withdraw, the death benefit value will be determined as described under “Withdrawal Amount” in this appendix. No early withdrawal charge will apply. If the contract is issued with guaranteed payments and with no right to withdraw, the rate used to determine the value of the remaining guaranteed payments will be the fixed annuity present value interest rate shown in the contract.

The value of the death benefit will be determined as of the next valuation following the Company’s receipt at its Customer Service Center of proof of death acceptable to us and a request for payment in good order.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 152950  I-4 


  APPENDIX II

Description of Underlying Funds

During the accumulation phase, you may allocate your premium payments and contract value to any of the investment portfolios available under this contract. They are listed in this appendix. You bear the entire investment risk for amounts you allocate to any investment portfolio, and you may lose your principal.

The investment results of the mutual funds (funds) are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their respective investment objectives. You should consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for this and additional information.

Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in the funds. Shares of the funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Except as noted, all funds are diversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Fund prospectuses may be obtained free of charge, from our Customer Service Center at the address and telephone number listed in the prospectus, by accessing the SEC’s web site or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room.

Certain funds offered under the contracts have investment objectives and policies similar to other funds managed by the fund’s investment adviser. The investment results of a fund may be higher or lower than those of other funds managed by the same adviser. There is no assurance and no representation is made that the investment results of any fund will be comparable to those of another fund managed by the same investment adviser.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the ING American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. The “Master Feeder” funds available under the contract are identified in the list of investment portfolios toward the front of this prospectus.

Consult with your investment professional to determine if the investment portfolios may be suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change your investment strategy.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” we, us, our) is a stock life insurance company which was organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Through a merger, it succeeded to the business of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company organized in 1954).

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $50 billion invested through its products, including $37 billion in its separate accounts (of which the Company’s investment management affiliates manage or oversee the management of $22 billion). Based on assets, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company is ranked among the top 2% of all life and health insurance companies rated by A.M. Best Company as of July 15, 2008. The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management and is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of issuing life insurance policies and annuity contracts. Our Home Office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774.

The Company serves as the depositor for the separate account.

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

The assets of the separate account are held by the Company. The separate account has no custodian. However, the funds in whose shares the assets of the separate account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in their respective prospectuses.

From this point forward, the term “contract(s)” refers only to those offered through the prospectus.

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS

The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC serves as the principal underwriter for contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. The contracts are distributed through life insurance agents licensed to sell variable annuities who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or of other registered broker-dealers who have entered into sales arrangements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. The offering of the contracts is continuous. A description of the manner in which contracts are purchased may be found in the prospectus under the sections entitled “Contract Ownership and Rights” and “Your Account Value.”

Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $2,501,353.46, $2,666,060.62 and $2,507,216.09, respectively. These amounts reflect compensation paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC attributable to regulatory and operating expenses associated with the distribution of all registered variable annuity products issued by Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

INCOME PHASE PAYMENTS

When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase (see “Income Phase” in the prospectus), the value of your account is determined using accumulation unit values as of the tenth valuation before the first income phase payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide payments to you in accordance with the income phase payment option and investment options elected.

The annuity option tables found in the contract show, for each option, the amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of value applied. Thereafter, variable payments fluctuate as the Annuity Unit value(s) fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected investment option(s). The first and subsequent payments also vary depending on the assumed net investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first payment, but payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an annual basis. Payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first income phase payment, but subsequent income phase payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

When the income phase begins, the annuitant is credited with a fixed number of Annuity Units (which does not change thereafter) in each of the designated investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) is the amount of the first payment based upon a particular investment option, and (b) is the then current Annuity Unit value for that investment option. As noted, Annuity Unit values fluctuate from one valuation to the next (see “Account Value” in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the appropriate subaccount(s) (with a ten day valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a mathematical adjustment which offsets the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5% per annum.

The operation of all these factors can be illustrated by the following hypothetical example. These procedures will be performed separately for the investment options selected during the income phase.

4


EXAMPLE:

Assume that, at the date payments are to begin, there are 3,000 accumulation units credited under a particular contract or account and that the value of an accumulation unit for the tenth valuation prior to retirement was $13.650000. This produces a total value of $40,950.

Assume also that no premium tax charge is payable and that the annuity table in the contract provides, for the payment option elected, a first monthly variable payment of $6.68 per $1,000 of value applied; the annuitant’s first monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.

Assume then that the value of an Annuity Unit upon the valuation on which the first payment was due was $13.400000. When this value is divided into the first monthly payment, the number of Annuity Units is determined to be 20.414. The value of this number of Annuity Units will be paid in each subsequent month.

Suppose there were 30 days between the initial and second payment valuation dates. If the net investment factor with respect to the appropriate subaccount is 1.0032737 as of the tenth valuation preceding the due date of the second monthly income phase payment, multiplying this factor by .9971779* = .9999058^30 (to take into account 30 days of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units determined above) produces a result of 1.000442. This is then multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the prior valuation ($13.400000 from above) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.405928 for the valuation occurring when the second income phase payment is due.

The second monthly income phase payment is then determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the current Annuity Unit value, or 20.414 times $13.405928, which produces a payment of $273.67.

*If an assumed net investment rate of 5% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate would be .9959968 = .9998663^30.

SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING

We may include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain the mathematical principles of dollar cost averaging, compounded interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts. We may also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types of savings or investment products such as, personal savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in accumulation unit values for any of the subaccounts to established market indices such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average or to the percentage change in values of other management investment companies that have investment objectives similar to the subaccount being compared.

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

5


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.

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, 2008, by correspondence with the transfer agents.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting Variable Annuity Account B of ING
Life Insurance and Annuity Company at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations and changes in
their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

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

 
1.    Organization 

  Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the
“Account”) was established by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or
the “Company”) to support the operations of variable annuity contracts (“Contracts”).
The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of
Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global
financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Account is
exclusively for use with Contracts that may be entitled to tax-deferred treatment under
specific sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. ILIAC provides for
variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity
considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account,
which is not part of the Account, as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the
Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of
any other business ILIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the
promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of ILIAC. The assets and liabilities of
the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of
ILIAC.

At December 31, 2008, the Account had 150 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 35
of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 115 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, 2008 and related Trusts are as follows:

Effective October 7, 2008, ING VP Money Market Portfolio changed its investment
objective to seeking to maintain a stable share price of $1.00 per share. In connection
with this change, ING VP Money Market Portfolio utilized a stock split and distributed
additional shares to its shareholders such that each shareholder’s proportionate interest
and aggregate value of investment in ING VP Money Market Portfolio remained the
same.

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 Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by
the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund
are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains
from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on
redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined on the specific identification basis.

114


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


  The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of
measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of
ILIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.
Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are
excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of ILIAC.

Contractowner Reserves

Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of
the Contracts. The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the
contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid
to the contractowners exceed their account values, ILIAC will contribute additional funds
to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required,
transfers may be made to ILIAC.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from Principal Transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net
Assets are items which relate to contractowner activity, including deposits, surrenders and
withdrawals, benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the
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.

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements

  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value
to any new circumstances.

115


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


  Under FAS No. 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on
the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In
support of this principle, FAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable
data. FAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level
within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured
using unobservable data.

The adoption of FAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the
Account’s net assets or results of operations. New disclosures are included in the
Financial Instruments footnote.

4.      Financial Instruments
 
  The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the custodian and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.
 
  The Account’s financial assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2008, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2008.
 
  The FAS No. 157 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.
 
  §      Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or 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.
 

116


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


§      Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.
 

5. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover
ILIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts.
Following is a summary of these charges:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

ILIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and,
in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of
the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 1.25% of the average
daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in
the Contracts.

Asset Based Administrative Charges

A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual
rate of up to 0.25% of the assets attributable to the Contracts.

Contract Maintenance Charges

An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $30 may be deducted from the accumulation
value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contract.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For certain Contracts, a contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed
as a percentage that ranges up to 7.00% of each premium payment if the Contract is
surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken, as specified in the Contract.

Premium Taxes

For certain Contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the
accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction depends
on the contractowner’s state of residence and currently ranges up to 4.00% of premiums.

117


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


  Other Contract Charges

Under the Fixed/Variable Single Premium Immediate Annuity contract, an additional
annual charge of 1.00% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for
contractowners who select the Guaranteed Minimum Income feature. For Deferred
Variable Annuity contracts, an additional annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily
from the accumulation value for amounts invested in the ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio
Funds. In addition, an annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily from the
accumulation values for contractowners who select the Premium Bonus Option feature.

Fees Waived by ILIAC

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts are currently waived by ILIAC.
ILIAC reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with
changes in the law.

6. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2008, management fees were paid indirectly to IIL,
an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to the ING GET Fund,
ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., ING Variable

Products Trust, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio and ING VP Money Market

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, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. 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 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 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 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut. ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and services in the United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and in the District of Columbia.

 

The consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

 

On December 1, 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, Directed Services, Inc. (“DSI”), a New York corporation registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, whose primary functions were the distribution of variable insurance products and investment advisory services for open-end mutual funds. Additionally, on December 12, 2006, ILIAC organized DSL as a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company. On December 31, 2006, DSI merged with and into DSL and ceased to exist. Upon merger, the operations and broker-dealer and investment advisor registrations of DSI were consolidated into DSL, the surviving company. Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement with certain variable funds offered in Company products was assigned to DSL.

 

On May 11, 2006, ILIAC organized NWL as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, developing, leasing, and managing a new corporate office facility to be located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut (the “Windsor Property”). Effective October 1, 2007, the principal executive office of ILIAC was changed to One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut.

 

On October 31, 2007, ILIAC’s subsidiary, NWL merged with and into ILIAC. As of the merger date, NWL ceased to exist, and ILIAC became the surviving corporation. The merger did not have an impact on ILIAC’s consolidated results of operations and financial position, as NWL was a wholly-owned subsidiary and already included in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented since its formation.

 

Description of Business

The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans and related services. The Company’s products

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, and education markets (collectively “not-for-profit” organizations) and corporate markets. The Company’s products are generally distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

 

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (payout annuities) annuity contracts. Company products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans, which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e., liquidity 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.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.

 

Under FAS 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. FAS 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data.

 

FAS 157 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2008. As a result of implementing FAS 157, the Company recognized $1.7, before tax, as an increase to Net income on the date of adoption related to the fair value measurements of the reserves for product guarantees. The impact of implementation was included in Interest credited and other benefits to contractholders on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which provides clarifying guidance on the application of FAS 157 to financial assets in a market that is not active and was effective upon issuance. FSP FAS 157-3 had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that applied by the Company upon adoption of FAS 157.

 

The Company recognized no other adjustments to its financial statements related to the adoption of FAS 157, and new disclosures are included in the Financial Instruments footnote.

 

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), which allows a company to make an irrevocable election, on specific election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The election to measure an item at fair value may be determined on an instrument by instrument basis, with certain exceptions. If the fair value option is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item will be recognized in earnings as incurred. Items eligible for the fair value option include:

 

 

§

Certain recognized financial assets and liabilities;

 

§

Rights and obligations under certain insurance contracts that are not financial instruments;

 

§

Host financial instruments resulting from the separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument; and

 

§

Certain commitments.

 

FAS 159 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2008. In implementing FAS 159, the Company elected not to take the fair value option for any eligible assets or liabilities in existence on January 1, 2008, or in existence at the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts

 

On April 30, 2007, the FASB issued a FSP on FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts” (“FSP FIN 39-1”), which permits a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. FSP FIN 39-1 had no effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption by the Company on January 1, 2008, as it is the Company’s accounting policy not to offset such fair value amounts.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which creates a single model to address the accounting for the uncertainty in income tax positions recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement criteria that must be satisfied to recognize a financial statement benefit of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on an income tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

FIN 48 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. As a result of implementing FIN 48, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $2.9 as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained earnings (deficit).

 

Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts

 

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts” (“SOP 05-1”), which states that when an internal replacement transaction results in a substantially changed contract, the unamortized deferred acquisition costs, unearned revenue liabilities, and deferred sales inducement assets, related to the replaced contract should not be deferred in connection with the new contract. Contract modifications that meet various conditions defined by SOP 05-1 and result in a new contract that is substantially unchanged from the replaced contract, however, should be accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract.

 

SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, by amendment, endorsement, or rider, to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 applies to internal replacements made primarily to contracts defined by FAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” (“FAS 60”), as short-duration and long-duration insurance contracts, and by FAS No. 97, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments” (“FAS 97”), as investment contracts.

SOP 05-1 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007, and is effective for internal replacements occurring on or after that date. As a result of implementing SOP 05-1, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $43.4, before tax, or $28.2, net of $15.2 of income taxes, as a reduction to January 1, 2007 Retained earnings (deficit). In addition, the Company revised its accounting policy on the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business acquired ("VOBA") to include internal replacements.

 

Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees

 

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN No. 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”), which does the following:

 

 

§

Amends FAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”), requiring additional disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives;

 

§

Amends FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), requiring additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee; and

 

§

Clarifies the effective date of FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”).

 

FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 was adopted by the Company on December 31, 2008. In implementing FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, the Company determined that its adoption had no financial statement impact. New disclosures are included in the Financial Instruments and Commitments and Contingent Liabilities footnotes.

 

The clarification in the FSP of the effective date of FAS 161 is consistent with the guidance in FAS 161 and the Company’s disclosure provided herein.

 

Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities

 

In December, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (“FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8”), which requires additional disclosures regarding a transferor’s continuing involvement with financial assets transferred in a securitization or asset-backed financing arrangement and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”).

FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 was adopted by the Company on December 31, 2008. In implementing FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, the Company determined that its adoption has no financial statement impact. The Company does not have any QSPEs or continuing involvement with financial assets transferred in a securitization or asset-backed financing arrangement.

 

Amendments to Impairment Guidance

 

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”), which amends EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” (“EITF 99-20”). FSP EITF 99-20-1 requires that an other-than-temporary impairment on investments that meet the criteria of EITF 99-20 be recognized as a realized loss through earnings when it is probable there has been an adverse change in the holder’s estimated cash flow, consistent with the impairment model in FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”

 

FSP EITF 99-20-1 was adopted by the Company on December 31, 2008, prospectively. In implementing FSP EITF 99-20-1, the Company determined there was a minimal effect on financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as the structured securities held by the Company were highly rated at issue.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, which requires enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, including:

 

 

§

How and why derivative instruments are used;

 

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133 and its related interpretations; and

 

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial statements.

 

The provisions of FAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of FAS 161 on its disclosures; however, as the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosures, the Company has determined that the adoption of FAS 161 will have no financial statement impact. In addition, the Company’s derivatives are generally

not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment.

 

Business Combinations

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), which replaces FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” as issued in 2001. FAS 141R requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value as of the acquisition date, even for acquisitions achieved in stages. In addition, the statement requires:

 

 

§

Acquisition-related costs to be recognized separately and generally expensed;

 

§

Non-obligatory restructuring costs to be recognized separately when the liability is incurred;

 

§

Contractual contingencies acquired to be recorded at acquisition-date fair values;

 

§

A bargain purchase, which occurs when the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, to be recognized as a gain; and

 

§

The nature and financial effects of the business combination to be disclosed.

 

FAS 141R also amends or eliminates various other authoritative literature.

 

The provisions of FAS 141R are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 for all business combinations occurring on or after that date. As such, this standard will impact any Company acquisitions that occur on or after January 1, 2009.

 

Equity Method Investment Accounting

 

In November 2008, the EITF reached consensus on EITF 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (“EITF 08-6”), which requires, among other provisions, that:

 

 

§

Equity method investments be initially measured at cost;

 

§

Contingent consideration only be included in the initial measurement;

 

§

An investor recognize its share of any impairment charge recorded by the equity investee; and

 

§

An investor account for a share issuance by an equity investee as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment;

 

The provisions of EITF 08-6 are effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, this standard will impact Company acquisitions or changes in ownership with regards to equity investments that occur on or after January 1, 2009. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of the other-than-temporary impairment provisions.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market instruments, and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

 

Investments

 

All of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity, after adjustment, if any, for related changes in experience-rated contract allocations, DAC, VOBA, and deferred income taxes.

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.

 

In addition, the Company invests in structured securities that meet the criteria of the EITF 99-20. Under EITF 99-20, a further determination of the required impairment is based on credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that restricts the Company’s ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if the fair value of the security is less than amortized cost and there has been adverse change in cash flow since the last remeasurement date.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the individual security is written down to fair value, and the loss is accounted for as a change in Net realized capital gains (losses).

 

Experience-Rated Products

Included in available-for-sale securities are investments that support experience-rated products. Experience-rated products are products where the customer, not the Company, assumes investment (including realized capital gains and losses) and other risks, subject to, among other things, minimum principal and interest guarantees. Unamortized realized capital gains (losses) on the sale of and unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments supporting these products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized capital gains (losses) on all other investments were reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized capital gains (losses) on all other investments were reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity, net of DAC and VOBA adjustments for unrealized capital gains (losses), and related income taxes. During 2008, due to the current economic environment, which resulted in significant realized and unrealized losses associated with assets supporting experience-rated contracts, the Company accelerated the amortization of realized losses and recorded such amounts in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded unrealized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves.

 

Purchases and Sales

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.

 

Valuation

The fair values for the actively traded marketable fixed maturities are determined based upon the quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which provide the estimated fair values. These services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data. Valuations obtained from third party commercial pricing services are non-binding and are validated monthly through comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, and monitoring of trading volumes.

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model. 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 their 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.

 

The fair values for certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) are determined by taking the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided. A few of the CMO-Bs are priced by the originating broker due to the complexity and unique characteristics of the asset.

 

The fair values for actively traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable 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 present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral. If the loan is in foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses).

 

The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Short-term investments, consisting primarily of money market instruments and other fixed maturity issues purchased with an original maturity of 91 days to one year, are considered available-for-sale and are carried at fair value.

 

Derivative instruments are reported at fair value primarily using the Company’s derivative accounting system. The system uses key financial data, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), which are obtained from third party sources and uploaded into the system. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third party brokers. Embedded derivative instruments are reported at fair value based upon internally established valuations that are consistent with external valuation models or market quotations.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements to increase the return on investments and improve liquidity. These transactions involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities pledged under dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed maturities, and the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those purchased. Company policies require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements to be pledged as collateral. Reverse repurchase agreements are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

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 domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income. 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.

 

Derivatives

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. Generally, derivatives are not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment.

 

The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated with a referenced asset, index, or pool. The Company also utilizes options and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products. Open derivative contracts are reported as either Other investments or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of such

derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain products with guarantees, 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- or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives within fixed maturity instruments are included in Fixed maturities, available-for-sale, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in fair value are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Embedded derivatives within retail annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value are recorded in Interest credited and benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

 

General

 

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

 

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization. The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company’s contracts.

 

FAS 97 applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities. Under FAS 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus surrender charges.

 

Internal Replacements

 

Contractowners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract. Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions are identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with SOP 05-1.

 

C-20

 

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

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. For deferred annuities, the estimated future gross profits of the new contracts are treated as revisions to the estimated future gross profits of the replaced contracts in the determination of amortization.

 

Internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Unlocking

 

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and amortization rates. Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products. One of the most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits 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. Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and estimated mortality.

 

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of DAC and VOBA. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability.

 

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Any adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the amortization rate be revised (“unlocking”), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a component of current period amortization. In general, sustained increases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, lower the rate of amortization. Sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, however, increase the rate of amortization.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, total accumulated depreciation and amortization was $103.0 and $120.7, respectively. 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 or amortized. The Company’s property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

Furniture and fixtures

5 years

Leasehold improvements

10 years, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter

Equipment

Reserves

 

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

 

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

 

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. Credited interest rates vary by product and ranged from 1.6% to 7.8% for the years 2008, 2007, and 2006. Certain reserves may also include net unrealized gains and losses related to investments and unamortized net realized gains and losses on investments for experience-rated contracts. Reserves on experienced-rated contracts reflect the rights of contractowners, plan participants, and the Company. During 2008, given the current economic environment, which resulted in significant net realized and unrealized losses, the Company did not include net unrealized and unamortized realized losses associated with experience-rated contracts in Future policy benefits and claims reserves. The net unrealized losses are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and the amortization of the unamortized realized losses have been recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contractholders. Reserves for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discount value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

 

C-22

 

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration. For the years 2008, 2007, and 2006, reserve interest rates ranged from 5.3% to 5.9%.

 

The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach. 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 best estimate assumptions. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks beginning January 1, 2008 with the adoption of FAS 157. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees.

 

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered into an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln National Corporation (“Lincoln”). Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction. The Company includes an amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

 

Certain variable annuities offer guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”). The GMDB is accrued in the event the contractowner account value at death is below the guaranteed value and is included in reserves.

Revenue Recognition

 

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contractowner funds for the cost of insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are assessed. Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded as premiums or revenue. When annuity payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected in both Premiums and Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contractowners who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees. Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contractowners. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

 

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contractowner or participant (who bears the investment risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract, in shares of mutual funds that are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or in other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

 

Separate account assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and shown as separate captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deposits, investment income, and net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (with the exception of realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) on the assets supporting the guaranteed interest option). The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the separate accounts.

 

Assets and liabilities of separate account arrangements that do not meet the criteria for separate presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (primarily the guaranteed interest option), and revenue and expenses related to such arrangements, are consolidated in the financial statements with the general account. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, unrealized capital losses of $53.2 and $11.0, respectively, after taxes, on assets supporting a guaranteed interest option are reflected in Shareholder’s equity.

Reinsurance

 

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable from certain subsidiaries of Lincoln arising from the disposal of the Company’s individual life insurance business in 1998 (see the Reinsurance footnote). Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items. Deferred income tax expenses/benefits result from changes during the year in cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, net unrealized losses were $1,322.9 and $58.2, respectively, on total fixed maturities, including securities pledged to creditors, and equity securities. During 2008, as a result of the current economic environment, which resulted in significant losses on investments supporting experience-rated contracts, the Company reflected all unrealized losses in Shareholder’s equity rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves. At December 31, 2007, $16.4 of net unrealized capital gains (losses) was related to experience-rated contracts and was not reflected in Shareholder’s equity but in Future policy benefits and claim reserves.

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, fixed maturities with fair values of $14.2 and $13.9, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

 

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and, for CMOs that are not agency-backed, defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately 13.0% and 11.3%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or principal-only strips.

 

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest

 

On January 26, 2009, ING announced it reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility (the “Back-up Facility”) covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities (“Alt-A RMBS”). Under the terms of the Back-up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State will be realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas with a book value of $36.0 billion portfolio, including book value of $775.1 of the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company (with respect to the Company’s portfolio, the “Designated Securities Portfolio”) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”). As a result of the risk transfer, the Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State will take place at a discount of approximately 10% of par value. In addition, under the Back-up Facility, other fees will

be paid both by the Company and the Dutch State. Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, including the Company will remain the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio. Subject to documentation and regulatory approvals, the ING-Dutch State Transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph to take effect as of January 26, 2009.

 

In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, the Company will enter into a participation agreement with its affiliates, ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”) and ING pursuant to which the Company will convey to ING Support Holding an 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio and pay a periodic transaction fee, and will receive, as consideration for the participation, an assignment by ING Support Holding of its right to receive payments from the Dutch State under the Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio among, ING, ING Support Holding and the Dutch State (the “Company Back-Up Facility”). Under the Company Back-Up Facility, the Dutch State will be obligated to pay certain periodic fees and make certain periodic payments with respect to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, and ING Support Holding will be obligated to pay a periodic guarantee fee and make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions it receives with respect to the 80% participation interest in the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio.

 

In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s Alt-A RMBS which has a book value of $4.2 will be sold for cash to an affiliate, Lion II Custom Investments LLC (“Lion II”). Immediately thereafter, Lion II will sell to ING Direct Bancorp the purchased securities (the “Step 2 Cash Transfer”). Contemporaneous with the Step 2 Cash Transfer, ING Direct Bancorp will include such purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State. Subject to documentation and regulatory approval, the Step 1 Cash Transfer is expected to close by the end of March 2009 contemporaneous with the closing of the ING-Dutch State Transaction.

 

Since the Company had the intent to sell a portion of its Alt-A RMBS through the 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio or as part of the Step 1 Cash Transfer as of December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $253.2 in other-than-temporary impairments with respect to the 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio that it expects to convey as part of the ING-Dutch State Transaction and the Step 1 Cash Transfer. The Company expects to recognize a gain in the estimated range of $220.0 to $240.0 upon the closing of the ING-Dutch State Transaction and the Step 1 Cash Transfer.

Equity Securities

 

Equity securities, available-for-sale, included investments with fair values of $141.0 and $279.5 in ING proprietary funds as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. These transactions involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities pledged under dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in fixed maturities, and the offsetting collateral liability is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $657.2 and $757.6, respectively. The carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements totaled $613.9 and $734.8 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company also engages in reverse repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not have any reverse repurchase agreements.

 

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

 

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 domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income. 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. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of loan securities was $474.8 and $176.5, respectively.

Unrealized Capital Losses

 

Unrealized capital losses in fixed maturities at December 31, 2008 and 2007, were primarily related to the effects of interest rate movement or spread widening on mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Mortgage and other asset-backed securities include U.S. government-backed securities, principal protected securities, and structured securities, which did not have an adverse change in cash flows. The following table summarizes the unrealized capital losses by duration and reason, along with the fair value of fixed maturities, including securities pledged, in unrealized capital loss positions at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Of the unrealized capital losses aged more than twelve months, the average market value of the related fixed maturities is 79.2% of the average book value. In addition, this category includes 1,243 securities, which have an average quality rating of AA-. No other-than-temporary impairment loss was considered necessary for these fixed maturities as of December 31, 2008. The value of the Company’s fixed maturities declined $534.2, before tax and DAC, from December 31, 2008 though February 28, 2009, due to further widening of credit spreads. This decline in fair value includes $81.7 related to the Company’s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities.

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 other-than-temporary impairment of investments and changes in fair value of derivatives. The cost of the investments on disposal is determined based on specific identification of securities. Net realized capital gains (losses) on investments were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

The increase in Net realized capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily due to higher credit and intent related impairments of fixed maturities driven by the widening of credit spreads. In addition, the Company experienced losses on equity securities mainly due to the poor market performance and losses on interest rate swaps due to lower LIBOR rates in 2008.

 

Net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts are deducted from Net realized capital gains (losses) and an offsetting amount was reflected in Future policy benefits and claim reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2008, as a result of the current economic environment, which resulted in significant realized losses associated with experience-rated contracts, the Company accelerated amortization of

realized losses rather than reflect those losses in Future policy benefits and claims reserves. During 2008, the Company fully amortized $624.4 of net unamortized realized capital losses allocated to experience-rated contractowners, which are reflected in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net unamortized realized capital gains allocated to experienced-rated contractowners were $53.8 and $164.5 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were reflected in Future policy benefits and claims reserves.

Fair Value Measurements

 

FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized as follows:

 

 

§

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

 

§

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

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.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

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 FAS 157. 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 the brokers are non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, and monitoring of trading volumes.

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values.

 

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

 

Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices or dealer quotes and are classified as Level 1 assets. The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market, excluding subprime and Alt-A mortgage-backed securities, 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. Valuations obtained from third party commercial pricing services are non-binding and are validated monthly through comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, and monitoring of trading volumes.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in their 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.

 

The fair values for certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) are determined by taking the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided. A few of the CMO-Bs are priced by the originating broker due to the complexity and unique characteristics of the asset. Due to the lack of corroborating evidence to support a higher level, these bonds are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

Trading activity for the Company’s Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”), particularly subprime and Alt-A mortgage-backed securities, has been declining during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets. During 2008, the Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A mortgage-backed securities did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008. As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A mortgage-backed securities was inactive. The Company did not change its valuation procedures, which are consistent with those used for Level 2 marketable bonds without an active market, as a result of determining that the market was inactive. However, the Company determined that the

 

C-36

classification within the valuation hierarchy should be transferred to Level 3 due to market inactivity.

 

At December 31, 2008, the fixed maturities valued using unadjusted broker quotes totaled $9,069.0.

 

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of these securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets.

 

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 short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

 

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. Mutual funds, short-term investments and cash are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1. Bond valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services and brokers and are included in Level 2. The valuations obtained from brokers are non-binding. Valuations are validated monthly through comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, and monitoring of trading volumes.

 

Other financial instruments reported as assets and liabilities: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments (primarily derivatives) reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Derivatives are carried at fair value (on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company’s policy to deal only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2.

 

Product guarantees: The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with FAS 133. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach as described in FAS 157. 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 best estimate assumptions. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by FAS 157. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to

the current credit standing of ING and the Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees. As of December 31, 2008, the credit ratings of ING and the Company changed in relation to prior periods, which resulted in substantial changes in the valuation of the reserves for product guarantees.

 

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of FAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FAS 107”). FAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

FAS 107 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:

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

 

Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Investment contract liabilities (included in Future policy benefits and claim reserves):

 

With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by, or available to, the Company for similar contracts.

 

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the contractowner upon demand. However, the Company has the right under such contracts to delay payment of withdrawals, which may ultimately result in paying an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.

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.

 

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 FAS 157). 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 light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below, with particular attention addressed to the reserves for product guarantees due to the impact on the Company’s results of operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the value of the liability increased due to increased credit spreads, increased interest rate volatility and decreased interest rates. As of December 31, 2008, the net realized gains attributable to credit risk were $107.9. The unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities were driven by the widening of credit spreads.

 

During 2008, the Company determined that the classification within the valuation hierarchy related to the subprime and Alt-A mortgage-backed securities within the RMBS portfolio should be changed due to market inactivity. This change is presented as transfers into Level 3 in the table above and discussed in more detail in the previous disclosure regarding RMBS.

Credit Default Swaps

 

The Company has entered into various credit default swaps to assume credit exposure to certain assets that the Company does not own. Credit default swaps involve a transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic payments. These instruments are typically written for a maturity period of five years and do not contain recourse provisions, which would enable the seller to recover from third parties. The Company’s collateral positions are tracked by the International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc. (“ISDA”). To the extent cash collateral was received, it was included in the Collateral held, including payables under securities loan agreement on the Balance Sheets and was reinvested in short-term investments. The source of non-cash collateral posted was investment grade bonds of the entity. Collateral held is used in accordance with the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) to satisfy any obligations. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to the notional value of the swap contract. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of credit default swaps of $16.1 and $75.0 was included in Other investments and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 2008, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $161.0.

 

Embedded Derivative in Credit-Linked Note

 

The Company owns a 3-year credit-linked note arrangement, whereby the Company agrees to reimburse the guaranteed party upon payment default of the referenced obligation. Upon such default, the Company reimburses the guaranteed party for the loss under the reference obligation, and the Company receives that reference obligation in settlement. The Company can then seek recovery of any losses under the agreement by sale or collection of the received reference obligation. As of December 31, 2008, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company under the guarantee was $30.0.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company holds VIEs for investment purposes in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, and limited partnerships. Consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary for any of these VIEs. Rather, the VIEs are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting. Investments in limited partnerships are included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Analysis of DAC and VOBA

 

The increase in Net amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily driven by unfavorable unlocking of $63.0 resulting from unfavorable equity market performance and the revisions of certain assumptions used in the estimation of gross profits. The increase in Net amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31, 2007, was primarily driven by unfavorable unlocking of $131.3 attributable to an increase in actual gross profits related to higher fee income and fixed margins in 2007.

 

The decrease in Net amortization of DAC and VOBA in 2006 is primarily driven by favorable unlocking of $83.3, resulting from the refinements of the Company’s estimates of persistency, expenses and other assumptions. In addition, the decrease in amortization reflects lower actual gross profits, primarily due to a legal settlement incurred in 2006.

Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder’s Equity

ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10%) of ILIAC’s statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

 

During 2008, ILIAC did not pay any dividends to its Parent. During 2007 and 2006, ILIAC paid $145.0, and $256.0, respectively, in dividends on its common stock to its Parent.

 

During 2006, Lion contributed to ILIAC, DSI, which had $50.5 in equity on the date of contribution and was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. During 2008, 2007, and 2006, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions from its Parent.

 

On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of Euro 10 billion. On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), of which $365.0 was contributed to the Company. The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch government and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING.

 

The State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the “Department”) recognizes as net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Statutory net (loss) income was $(428.4), $245.5, and $138.3, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1,524.6 and $1,388.0 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As specifically permitted by statutory accounting policies, statutory surplus as of December 31, 2008 included the impact of the $365.0 capital contribution received on February 24, 2009.

 

During 2008, the Company received a permitted practice regarding deferred income taxes, which modified the accounting prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners by increasing the realization period for deferred tax assets from one year to three years and increasing the asset recognition limit from 10% to 15% of adjusted statutory capital and surplus. This permitted practice expires on December 15, 2009. This permitted practice increased admitted assets and statutory surplus by $58.4 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The benefits of this permitted practice may not be considered by the Company when determining surplus available for dividends.

Due to the financial crisis and related federal government interest rate actions, the Department provided the Company and other domestic life insurers the opportunity to elect to use a formula for the discount rate for statutory reserve and reserve related calculations that resulted in the discount rate being floored at 3.25% for December 31, 2008; the formula stipulated by the Department was such that the discount rate was to equal the greater of 3.25% or 105% of the otherwise applicable spot rate; this reserve relief reduces statutory reserves and increases surplus by approximately $700.0. This reserve relief is available for the period from December 31, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and is not a permitted practice. The Company also discloses that, as in prior years, its asset adequacy analysis associated with these reserves is favorable.

 

6.

Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees

The Company calculates an additional liability for certain GMDBs and other minimum guarantees in order to recognize the expected value of these benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

 

The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

 

As of December 31, 2008, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.5 billion and $181.2, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $7.1 billion and $80.4, respectively.

 

The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $6.5 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively.

Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with ING AIH and certain other subsidiaries of ING AIH that are eligible corporations qualified to file consolidated federal income tax returns as part of the ING AIH affiliated group. Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC is party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the group whereby ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

Net unrealized capital gains and losses are presented as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity, net of deferred taxes. Due to changes in classification during 2008, the amount for the 2007 table above were reclassified in order to allow for more effective comparison.

 

Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered unlikely that deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a tax valuation allowance of $328.0 and $0, respectively, related to realized capital losses, which is included in Net (loss) income. The valuation allowance includes $106.7 related to impairments of securities designated in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, which has established pending uncertainties regarding the closing of the transaction. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance of $0 and $6.4, respectively, related to unrealized capital losses on investments, which is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). In 2008, the Company has also established a $5.0 tax valuation allowance against foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.

 

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

ILIAC had a receivable of $38.6 and payable $56.8 to ING AIH at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for federal income taxes under the inter-company tax sharing agreement.

The Company had $23.1 and $42.6 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

 

Interest and Penalties

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Current income taxes and Income tax expense on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $3.8 and $16.9 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in accrued interest during the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily related to the settlement of the 2002 and 2003 IRS audit and the 1995 through 2000 New York state audit.

 

Tax Regulatory Matters

 

The Company is under audit by the IRS for tax years 2004 through 2008, and is subject to state audit in New York for years 2001 through 2006. It is anticipated that the IRS audit of tax years 2004 through 2008 will be finalized within the next twelve months. Upon finalization of the IRS and New York examinations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $7.6. The timing of the payment of the remaining allowance of $14.5 can not be reliably estimated.

 

On September 25, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-61, which announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividend received deduction (“DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life insurance contracts. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54 issued in August 2007 that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing these computational questions. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the

content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing, substance, and effective date of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives.

 

Under prior law, life insurance companies were allowed to defer from taxation a portion of income. Deferred income of $17.2 was accumulated in the Policyholders Surplus Account and would only become taxable under certain conditions, which management believed to be remote. In 2004, Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 allowing certain tax-free distributions from the Policyholders’ Surplus Account during 2005 and 2006. During 2006, the Company made a dividend distribution of $256.0, which eliminated the $17.2 balance in the Policyholders Surplus Account and, therefore, any potential tax on the accumulated balance.

Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plan

 

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. However, effective January 1, 2009, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide that anyone hired or rehired by the Company on or after January 1, 2009, would not be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective July 1, 2008 related to the admission of the employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC (“CitiStreet”) by Lion, and ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan. The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $14.0, $17.2, and $23.8, for 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

ING North America sponsors the ING Americas Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. Career Agents are certain, full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria. The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, which includes

an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. The Savings Plan was amended and restated effective July 1, 2008 related to the admission of the employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet by Lion, and ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Pre-tax charges to operations of the Company for the Savings Plan were $10.3, $10.1, and $9.7, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

 

Through December 31, 2001, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, offered certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the “SERPs”). Benefit accruals under the SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001. 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.

 

The Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (formerly the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Agents Non-Qualified Plan”). This plan covers certain full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the plan (“Career Agents”). The Agents Non-Qualified Plan was terminated effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

 

The SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, which means all the SERPs benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and Agents Non-Qualified Plan benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and ING North America. These non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are not guaranteed by the PBGC.

 

Obligations and Funded Status

 

The following tables summarize the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and funded status, for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Assumptions

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2008 and 2007 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 

 

2008

 

2007

Discount rate at end of period

6.50%

 

6.50%

Rate of compensation increase

4.00%

 

4.20%

 

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries (particularly the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve Liability Index), 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 6.0% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2008, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability. Accordingly, as prescribed by FAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, the 6.5% discount rate will also be used to determine the Company’s 2008 pension expense. December 31 is the measurement date for the SERP’s and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.

The weighted average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost for 2008 were, as indicated above, a 6.0% discount rate and a 4.0% rate of compensation increase. 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, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, were as follows:

Future expected benefit payments related to the SERPs, and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2013, and thereafter through 2018, are estimated to be $4.3, $4.4, $5.0, $5.1, $5.1, and $26.4, respectively.

 

Other

 

On October 4, 2004, the President signed into law The Jobs Creation Act (“Jobs Act”). The Jobs Act affects nonqualified deferred compensation plans, such as the Agents Nonqualified Plan. ING North America has made changes to impacted nonqualified deferred compensation plans, as necessary to comply with the requirements of the Jobs Act.

 

Stock Option and Share Plans

 

ING sponsors the ING Group Long Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Board of Directors to be granted options and/or performance shares. The terms applicable to an award under leo are set out in an award agreement, which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the award.

 

C-54

 

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Options granted under leo are nonqualified options on ING shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”). Leo options have a ten (10) year term and vest three years from the grant date. Options awarded under leo may vest earlier in the event of the participant’s death, permanent disability or retirement. Retirement for purposes of leo means a participant terminates service after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service. Early vesting in all or a portion of a grant of options may also occur in the event the participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture. Unvested options are generally subject to forfeiture when a participant voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants generally have up to seven years in which to exercise their vested options. A shorter exercise period applies in the event of termination due to redundancy, business divestiture, voluntary termination or termination for cause. An option gives the recipient the right to purchase an ING share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market value of one ING share on the date of grant. On exercise, participant’s have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the options being exercised, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The share price is in Euros and converted to U.S. dollars, as determined by ING.

 

Awards of performance shares may also be made under leo. Performance shares are a contingent grant of ING stock, and, on vesting, the participant has the right to receive a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Market on the vesting date times the number of vested Plan shares. Performance shares generally vest three years from the date of grant, with the amount payable based on ING’s share price on the vesting date. Payments made to participants on vesting are based on the performance targets established in connection with leo and payments can range from 0% to 200% of target. Performance is based on ING’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group as determined at the end of the vesting period. To vest, a participant must be actively employed on the vesting date, although vesting will continue to occur in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement. If a participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture, vesting will occur but in only a portion of the award. Unvested shares are generally subject to forfeiture when an employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the shares, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

The Company recognized compensation expense for the leo options and performance shares of $4.1, $4.5, and $10.1, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively.

Other Benefit Plans

 

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

 

 

§

The ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant’s pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant’s eligible pay.

 

§

The Producers’ Incentive Savings Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches such pre-tax contributions at specified amounts.

 

§

The Producers’ Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis.

 

§

Certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The post retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

 

§

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

 

§

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

 

The benefit charges allocated to the Company related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, were $1.4, $0.4, and $1.4, respectively.

Investment Advisory and Other Fees

During 2006, ILIAC served as investment advisor to certain variable funds offered in Company products (collectively, the “Company Funds”). The Company Funds paid ILIAC, as investment advisor, daily fees that, on an annual basis, ranged, depending on the Fund, from 0.5% to 1.0% of their average daily net assets. Each of the Company Funds managed by ILIAC were subadvised by investment advisors, in which case ILIAC paid a subadvisory fee to the investment advisors, which included affiliates. Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement with 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 $245.1, $312.7, and $289.9, (excludes fees paid to ING Investment Management Co.) in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

 

DSL has been retained by ING Investors Trust (the “Trust”), an affiliate, pursuant to a management agreement to provide advisory, management, administrative and other services to the Trust. Under the management agreement, DSL provides or arranges for the provision of all services necessary for the ordinary operations of the Trust. DSL earns a monthly fee based on a percentage of average daily net assets of the Trust. DSL has entered into an administrative services subcontract with ING Fund Services, LLC, an affiliate, pursuant to which ING Fund Services, LLC, provides certain management, administrative and other services to the Trust and is compensated a portion of the fees received by DSL under the management agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, revenue received by DSL under the management agreement (exclusive of fees paid to affiliates) was $323.8, $343.8, and $233.9, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, DSL had $18.6 and $26.7, respectively, receivable from the Trust under the management agreement.

 

Financing Agreements

ILIAC maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH, an affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on April 1, 2011, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC’s statutory admitted assets as of the preceding December 31. Interest on any ILIAC borrowing is charged at the rate of ING AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period, plus 0.15%. Interest on any ING AIH borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration.

Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred interest expense of $0.2, $3.9, and $1.8, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and earned interest income of $4.8, $1.7, and $3.3, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Interest expense and income are included in Interest expense and Net investment income, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2008, ILIAC had $13.0 due to ING AIH under the reciprocal loan agreement and no amounts due as of December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, ILIAC had no amount due from ING AIH under the reciprocal loan agreement.

 

As of June 1, 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 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 provides for loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $5.0 if ILIAC and its affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during the term 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.

 

On December 1, 2008, the DECD determined that the Company met the employment thresholds for loan forgiveness and, accordingly, forgave $5.0 of the DECD Loan to the Company in accordance with the terms of the DECD Loan.

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9 and $9.9, which was reflected in Notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Note with Affiliate

On December 29, 2004, ING USA issued a surplus note in the principal amount of $175.0 (the “Note”) scheduled to mature on December 29, 2034, to ILIAC, in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. ILIAC’s $175.0 Note from ING USA bears interest at a rate of 6.26% per year. Any payment of principal and/or interest is subject to the prior approval of the Iowa Insurance Commissioner. 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 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $11.1.

Tax Sharing Agreements

Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC is a party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the ING AIH consolidated group. Under the federal tax allocation agreement, ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, DSI, which merged with and into DSL on December 31, 2006, was party to the ING AIH federal tax allocation agreement, as described above. Income from DSL, a single member limited liability company, is taxed at the member level (ILIAC).

 

ILIAC has also entered into a state tax sharing agreement with ING AIH and each of the specific subsidiaries that are parties to the agreement. The state tax agreement applies to situations in which ING AIH and all or some of the subsidiaries join in the filing of a state or local franchise, income tax, or other tax return on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis.

Financing Agreements

ILIAC maintains a $50.0 uncommitted, perpetual revolving note facility with the Bank of New York ("BONY"). Interest on any of ILIAC’s borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to a rate quoted by BONY to ILIAC for the borrowing. Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred no interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, and minimal interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility.

 

ILIAC also maintains a $100.0 uncommitted line-of-credit agreement with PNC Bank (“PNC”), effective December 19, 2005. Borrowings are guaranteed by ING AIH, with maximum aggregate borrowings outstanding at anytime to ING AIH and its affiliates of $100.0. Interest on any of ILIAC’s borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to a rate quoted by PNC to ILIAC for the borrowing. Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred no interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, and minimal interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the line-of-credit agreement.

11.

Reinsurance

At December 31, 2008, the Company had reinsurance treaties with 7 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts. At December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any outstanding cessions under any reinsurance treaties with affiliated reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

 

On, October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with certain subsidiaries of Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash. Under the agreement, Lincoln contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contractowners. Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

 

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 $11.0 and $16.1 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $19.6 billion and $20.9 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, net receivables were comprised of the following:

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Leases

 

Prior to December 31, 2008, the Company leased certain office space and certain equipment under various operating leases, the longest term of which expires in 2014. However, all operating leases were terminated or consolidated by ING AIH during the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, rent expense for leases was $6.1, $17.7, and $17.8, respectively. The Company pays substantially all expenses associated with its leased and subleased office properties. Expenses not paid directly by the Company are paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s expenses will be paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company.

 

For more information on the lease terminations, see the Restructuring Charges footnote.

 

Commitments

 

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $353.3, $253.7 of which was with related parties. At December 31, 2007, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $357.8, $226.6 of which was with related parties. During 2008 and 2007, $81.3 and $87.3, respectively, was funded to related parties under off-balance sheet commitments.

 

Financial Guarantees

 

The Company owns a 3-year credit-linked note arrangement, whereby the Company will reimburse the guaranteed party upon payment default of the referenced obligation. Upon such default, the Company reimburses the guaranteed party for the loss under the reference obligation, and the Company receives that reference obligation in settlement. The Company can then seek recovery of any losses under the agreement by sale or collection of the received reference obligation. As of December 31, 2008, the maximum liability to the Company under the guarantee was $30.0.

 

Cash Collateral

 

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter Derivative ISDA Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”), the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA Agreements will be met with regard to the CSA. The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. As of December 31, 2008, the Company held $4.4 of cash collateral, which was included in Collateral held, including payables under securities loan agreement. As of December 31, 2007, the Company delivered $18.8 of cash collateral, which was included in Short-term investments under securities loan agreement, including collateral delivered, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

Other Regulatory Matters

 

Regulatory Matters

 

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received 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 financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

 

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters

 

Federal and state regulators, and self-regulatory agencies, are conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and have cooperated and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

 

Investment Product Regulatory Issues

 

Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

 

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

 

C-64

 

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Action has been or may be taken with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

 

ING has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. Management reported to the ING Funds Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Restructuring Charges

2008 CitiStreet Integration

 

During the third quarter, integration initiatives related to the acquisition of CitiStreet by Lion, which provided significant operational and information technology efficiencies to ING’s U.S. retirement services businesses, including the Company, resulted in the recognition of integration and restructuring costs. In addition, the Company implemented an expense reduction program for the purpose of streamlining its overall operations. The restructuring charges related to these expense reduction and integration initiatives include severance and other employee benefits and lease abandonment costs, which are included in Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

2009 Expense and Staff Reductions

 

On January 12, 2009, ING announced expense and staff reductions across all U.S. operations, which resulted in the elimination of 87 current and open positions in the Company. Due to the staff reductions, curtailment of pension benefits shall occur during the first quarter of 2009, which will result in the recognition of a loss related to unrecognized prior service costs. The effect of the curtailment on the Company’s earnings is anticipated to be less than $0.1. The Company anticipates that these restructuring activities in regards to its operations will be complete by February 10, 2010 with total estimated costs of $5.8.

During 2008, as a result of the current market conditions, the Company reflected net unrealized capital losses allocated to experience-rated contracts in Shareholder’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves. At December 31, 2008, there are no net unrealized losses allocated to experience-rated contracts. Net unrealized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts of $(16.4) at December 31, 2007, are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits and claims reserves and are not included in Shareholder’s equity.

  Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their 
  certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees 
  and agents against “liability” (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, 
  including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses 
  incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that 
  the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a 
  court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33- 
  775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more 
  disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the 
  shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, 
  by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. 
  Also Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who 
  was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in 
  connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee, 
  or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right 
  of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was 
  adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, 
  indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the 
  corporation to which the individual was named a party. 
 
  A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a 
  director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, ING America 
  Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policy issued by 


an international insurer. The policy covers ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and any company in 
which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. These 
policies include the principal underwriter, as well as, the depositor. Additionally, the parent company of 
ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains excess umbrella coverage with 
limits in excess of €125,000,000. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and 
omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and fidelity. 
 
Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement executed as of 
November 28, 2000, provides that ING Financial Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain persons against 
any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such person if he is made a party 
or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he was a member, officer, director, 
employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as he acted in good faith on behalf of ING. 
 
Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority. 
An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim 
or expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity 
provision is authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of 
he State of Delaware.

Item 31.  Management Services         
  Not Applicable         
 
Item 32.  Undertakings         
  Registrant hereby undertakes:       


                         (i)  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; 
                         (ii)  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 
                         (iii)  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. 
The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through 
(4) of the SEC Staff's No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to language concerning withdrawal 
restrictions applicable to plans established pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American 
Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1988 WL 1235221 *13 (S.E.C.)] 
 
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.
