         Supplement dated June 27, 2008 to the Contract Prospectus and Statement of Additional
                                       Information, each dated April 28, 2008, as amended

The information in this Supplement updates and amends certain information contained in your variable
annuity Contract Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI). Please read it carefully and
keep it with your current variable annuity Contract Prospectus and SAI for future reference.

1.      On March 27, 2008, the Board of Trustees of ING Variable Products Trust and ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the following “Disappearing Portfolio” into the following “Surviving Portfolio.” Subject to approval by the Portfolio’s shareholders, after the close of business on September 5, 2008 the following Disappearing Portfolio will reorganize into and become part of the following Surviving Portfolio:
 
         Disappearing Portfolio             Surviving Portfolio
ING VP Real Estate Portfolio    ING Global Real Estate Portfolio

Accordingly, effective after the close of business on September 5, 2008, investments in the
Disappearing Portfolio will automatically become investments in the Surviving Portfolio, as follows:

  • Class I of the ING Global Real Estate Portfolio will automatically be added to your contract and all existing account
    balances invested in the ING VP Real Estate Portfolio (Class I) will
    automatically become investments in the ING
    Global Real Estate Portfolio (Class I).

As a result of the reorganization, effective September 8, 2008 all references to the Disappearing
Portfolio in the Contract Prospectus and SAI are hereby deleted.

Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future allocations directed to the
Disappearing Portfolio after the date of the reorganizations will be automatically allocated to the
Surviving Portfolio. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting our
home office through:

    Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant

    Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 to Registration
    Statement on Form N-4 for Variable Annuity Account C of ING Life Insurance and Annuity
    Company (File No. 333-105479), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
    April 11, 2008.

    Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

    As of May 30, 2008, there were 636,992 individuals holding interests in variable annuity
    contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C of ING Life Insurance and Annuity
    Company.

    Item 28. Indemnification

    Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes (“CGS”) provides that a corporation may
    provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as
    permitted by Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to
    Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of
    CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations.
    These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1,
    1997 shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides
    otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents against “liability” (defined
    as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed


    with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a
    proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking
    indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has
    determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-
    775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more
    disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(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.

    Section 33-777 of the statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
    insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director of the corporation. Consistent with
    the statute, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability umbrella
    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 interest of 50% or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as
    the depositor. Additionally, the parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING
    Groep N.V., maintains an excess umbrella cover with limits in excess of $125,000,000. The
    policy provides 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 the State of Delaware.

    Item 29. Principal Underwriter

    (a)      In addition to serving as the principal underwriter for the Registrant, ING Financial Advisers, LLC also acts as the principal underwriter for ING Partners, Inc. (a management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)).

    Account B of ILIAC, Variable Annuity Account I of ILIAC and Variable Annuity Account

    registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act.), (ii) ReliaStar Select Variable

    Item 31. Management Services

    Not applicable

    Item 32. Undertakings

    Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (a)      to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration statement are never more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;
     
    (b)      to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information; and
     
    (c)      to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request.
     
    (d)      during the Guarantee Period, to mail notices to current shareholders promptly after the happening of significant events related to the guarantee issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Guarantee”). These significant events include (i) the termination of the Guarantee; (ii) a default under the Guarantee that has a material adverse effect on a shareholder’s right to receive his or her guaranteed amount on the maturity date; (iii) the insolvency of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company; or (iv) a reduction in the credit rating of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company’s long- term debt as issued by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. to BBB+ or lower or Baa1 or lower, respectively.
     

    During the Guarantee Period, the Registrant hereby undertakes to include in the
    prospectus which is a part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an
    applicant can check to request the most recent annual and/or quarterly report of ING
    Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

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


    indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
    final adjudication of such issue.

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