1.      On March 27, 2008, the Board of Trustees of ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the following Portfolio (“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 Wells Fargo Disciplined Value Portfolio    ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value 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:

  • ADV Class of ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value Portfolio will automatically be added to your contract and all existing account balances invested in the ING Wells Fargo Disciplined Value Portfolio (ADV Class) will automatically become investments in the ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value Portfolio (ADV Class).

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 reorganization will be automatically allocated to the Surviving Portfolio.

  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)). 
    Additionally, ING Financial Advisers, LLC acts as the principal underwriter for Variable 


  Life Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (ILIAC), Variable Annuity
Account B of ILIAC, Variable Annuity Account I of ILIAC and Variable Annuity Account
G of ILIAC (separate accounts of ILIAC registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940
Act). ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also the principal underwriter for (i) Separate
Account N of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (RLIC) (a separate account of RLIC
registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act.), (ii) ReliaStar Select Variable
Account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (a separate account of RLIC registered as a
unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act), (iii) MFS ReliaStar Variable Account (a
separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act), (iv)
Northstar Variable Account (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment
trusts under the 1940 Act) (v) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable
Annuity Funds A, B, C (a management investment company registered under the 1940
Act), (vi) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds D, E, F,
G, H, I (a management investment company registered under the 1940 Act), (vii) ReliaStar
Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds M, P, and Q (a

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. 

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