The following information only affects you if you currently invest in or plan to invest in the
subaccount that corresponds to the Voya International Value Portfolio.
          
Notice of and Important Information About An Upcoming Fund Reorganization
 
The Board of Trustees of Voya Variable Products Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the Voya International 
Value Portfolio (the “Merging Portfolio”) with and into the Voya Global Value Advantage Portfolio (the “Surviving 
Portfolio”). The proposed reorganization is subject to shareholders approval. If shareholder approval is obtained, the 
reorganization is expected to take place on or about the close of business on March 6, 2015 (the “Reorganization 
Date”).     
 
Voluntary Transfers Before the Reorganization Date. Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may transfer 
amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Merging Portfolio to any other available subaccount or any 
available fixed interest option. There will be no charge for any such transfer, and any such transfer will not count as 
a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. See the “Transfers” section of your 
Contract Prospectus or Contract Prospectus Summary for information about making subaccount transfers. 
 
On the Reorganization Date. On the Reorganization Date, your investment in the subaccount that invested in the 
Merging Portfolio will automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the Surviving Portfolio 
with an equal total net asset value. You will not incur any tax liability because of this automatic reallocation and 
your contract value immediately before the reallocation will equal your contract value immediately after the 
reallocation.     
 
Automatic Fund Reallocation After the Reorganization Date. After the Reorganization Date, the Merging 
Portfolio will no longer be available through your contract. Unless you provide us with alternative allocation 
instructions, after the Reorganization Date all allocations directed to the subaccount that invested in the Merging 
Portfolio will be automatically allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Surviving Portfolio. See the 
“Transfers” section of your Contract Prospectus or Contract Prospectus Summary for information about making 
fund allocation changes.   
 
Allocation Instructions. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting us at 
Customer Service, P.O. Box 5050, Hartford, CT 06199-0063 or calling us at 1-800-262-3862.

Voya is an affiliate of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, 
banking and asset management. In 2009 ING announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and 
insurance businesses, including the divestiture of Voya, which together with its subsidiaries, including the 
Company, constitutes ING’s U.S.-based retirement, investment management and insurance operations. As of 
November 18, 2014, ING’s ownership of Voya was approximately 19%. Under an agreement with the European 
Commission, ING is required to divest itself of 100% of Voya by the end of 2016.

Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant 
 
Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration 
Statement on Form N-4 for Separate Account B of Voya Insurance and Annuity Company (File 
No. 333-196391), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2014. 

 



Item 27. Number of Contract Owners 
 
As of November 30, 2014, there were 632,515 individuals holding interests in variable annuity 
contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C of Voya Retirement 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(2); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the 
shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the 
corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of 
directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall 
indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against 
reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party 
because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to 
Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with 
respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the 
basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited 
to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to 
which the individual was named a party. 
 
A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a 
director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, Voya Financial, 
Inc. maintains Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies issued by an 
international insurer. The policies cover Voya Financial, Inc. and any company in which Voya 
Financial, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. The policies cover the funds 
and assets of the principal underwriter/depositor under the care, custody and control of Voya 
Financial, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: 
errors and omissions/professional liability, employment practices liability and fidelity/crime 
(a.k.a. “Financial Institutional Bond”). 

 



Section 20 of the Voya Financial Partners, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement executed 
as of November 28, 2000 provides that Voya Financial Partners, 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 Voya Financial Partners, LLC, as long as 
he acted in good faith on behalf of Voya Financial Partners, 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 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 with respect to plans established pursuant to Section 403(b) 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are subject to the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), it is relying on and complies with the 
terms of the SEC Staff’s No-Action Letter dated August 30, 2012, with respect to participant 
acknowledgement of and language concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to such plans. 
See ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company; S.E.C. No-Action Letter, 2012 WL 3862169, 
August 30, 2012. 
 
Except in relation to 403(b) plans subject to ERISA, the Company hereby represents that it is 
relying on 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 of 1986, as amended. See American Council of Life Insurance; S.E.C. No-Action Letter, 
1988 WL 1235221, November 28, 1988. 
 
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. 
 
Voya Retirement 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.
