CONTRACT PROSPECTUS – MAY 1, 2020

 

The Contract. The contract described in this prospectus is a fixed or variable, group and/or individual immediate annuity contract issued by Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”). The contract is available as an internal exchange from certain existing annuity contracts issued by the Company or certain of its affiliates, and to any participants in a retirement plan where the plan sponsor has purchased a group master contract (whether or not connected with an internal exchange). We may also issue contracts directly without a relationship to an existing Company contract or a retirement plan. The contract may be issued as either a nonqualified contract, or as a qualified contract for use with a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) under Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”) or with retirement plans under Tax Code Sections 401, 403(b) or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available to 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 and keep it for future reference.

 

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 variable 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 C (the “separate account”), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (“funds”) listed on the next page. Subaccount performance will vary depending upon the performance of its underlying fund. Information about the risks of investing in the funds through the contract is located in the “Investment Options” section on page 10 and in each fund’s prospectus. Read this prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain for future reference.

 

Fixed Income Payments. If you select fixed income payments, the amount of your fixed income payment 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.

 

Compensation. We pay compensation to broker–dealers whose registered representatives sell the contracts. See “Contract Distribution” for further information about the amount of compensation we pay.

You may also obtain a prospectus or an SAI for any of the funds by calling that number. The contract prospectus, the SAI and other information about the separate account may be obtained by accessing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website, http://www.sec.gov.

Internet Availability of Fund Shareholder Reports. Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the SEC, paper copies of the shareholder reports for the funds available under your contract will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Company. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

 

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If available, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Company electronically by contacting Customer Service.

 

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform the Company that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 1-800-283-3427.

CONTRACT OVERVIEW

 

 

The following is intended as an overview. Please read each section of this prospectus for additional information.

 

Questions: Contacting the Company

To answer your questions, contact your sales representative or write or call our Customer Service at:

Attention: Payout Services

One Orange Way

Windsor, CT 06095–4774

1–800–584–6001

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.” By contacting us, we can provide you with the appropriate administrative requirements for your requested transaction.

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.

 

Who’s Who

 

Contract Holder: The person or plan to whom we issue an individually owned contract, or the plan to which we issue a group master contract. We may also refer to the contract holder as the contract owner.

 

You (the “Participant”): The individual who owns an individual contract, participates in a group master contract, or who receives income payments in connection with an individual contract owned by a plan sponsor.

 

We (the “Company”): Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue the contract.

 

For greater detail, please review “CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION.”

 

 

The Contract and Your Retirement Plan

 

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

 

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(a), 403(b), 408(b) or 457(b) 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. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as 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. See “Contract Purchase and Participation.”

 

 

Contract Rights

For individual and group master contracts issued in connection with 401 and 457 plans, the plan sponsor is the contract holder and holds the rights under the contract. Section 401 and 457 plan sponsors may allow their participants to exercise certain limited contract rights. For example, a Section 401 or 457 plan sponsor has the right to make investment selections, but may permit their individual participants to exercise that right. For individual contracts issued on a nonqualified basis and those issued in connection with 408(b) and most 403(b) retirement plans, the individual is the contract holder and holds all contract rights. In situations where an individual or group master contract is issued to the plan sponsor of a 403(b) plan, the participant generally holds all contract rights. However, pursuant to Treasury Department regulations that were generally effective on January 1, 2009, the exercise of certain of these rights may require the consent and approval of the contract holder or its delegate. We reserve the right to modify the contracts to comply with these regulations where allowed, or where required by law. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations Distributions Eligibility – 403(b) Plans.”

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. The contract holder may cancel the contract no later than within ten days of receipt (some states require more than ten days). Participants in 403(b) plans and some 401 plans may cancel their participation in a group 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 TableandFees.”

 

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 “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

Examples

The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. For each type of contract, these costs include contract holder transaction expenses, separate account annual expenses, and fund fees and expenses applicable to that type of contract.

 

Fund Fees and Expenses Examples. The following examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract and that your investment has a 5% return each year. For the purpose of these Examples, we deducted the maximum contract fees and expenses and the maximum total annual fees and expenses of any of the funds available for each type of contract 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, as applicable) and assume you have selected the “nonlifetime–guaranteed payments” income payment option for a 15 year period with a 3.5% assumed annual net return rate.

 

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

 

 

Example (A) 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:

 

Example (B) 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):

Fund Fees and Expenses Examples. The following examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract and that your investment has a 5% return each year.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In APPENDIX IV of this prospectus, we provide condensed financial information about the separate account subaccounts you may invest in through the contract. The numbers show the year–end unit values of each subaccount from the time purchase payments were first received in the subaccount under the contract.

 

Financial Statements. The statements of assets and liabilities, the statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the related notes to financial statements for Variable Annuity Account C and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to consolidated financial statements for Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company are located in the Statement of Additional Information.

 

 

THE COMPANY

 

Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) issues the contracts described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the contracts that are not related to the separate account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account. We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. From January 1, 2002, until August 31, 2014, the Company was known as ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

 

We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”), which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc. In May 2013, the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “VOYA.”

 

We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance and annuities and providing financial services in the United States. We are authorized to conduct business in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Our principal executive offices are located at:

One Orange Way

Windsor, CT  06095–4774

 

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

CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION

 

Contracts Available for Purchase. The contract is designed for persons who would like to receive regular income payments from an annuity contract. The contract is available as an internal exchange from certain existing annuity contracts issued by the Company or certain of its affiliates, and to any participants in a retirement plan where the plan sponsor has purchased a group master contract (whether or not connected with an internal exchange). We may also issue contracts directly without a relationship to an existing Company contract or a retirement plan. The contract 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, 403(b) or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available to 457 plans. Availability as a group contract is subject to state approval. We reserve the right to limit purchase of an individual nonqualified contract to natural persons.

 

When considering whether to purchase or participate in the contract, you should consult with your financial representative about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

 

ERISA Notification. We must be notified by the employer or plan trustee if the contract is offered in connection with a 403(b) or 401 plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

 

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 minimum required payment, to establish a maximum payment amount and to reject any payment exceeding the maximum.

 

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. If we reject your application or enrollment, we will return the forms and any purchase payment.

 

Age Requirements. The maximum issue age is between 80 and 95, depending upon the income payment option and features selected. We reserve the right to modify the maximum issue age.

 

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. Generally, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may select no more than 25 investment options at initial enrollment. Thereafter, more options can be selected 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.” 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.

 

Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. The decision to purchase or participate in the contract should be discussed with your sales representative. Make sure that you understand the investment options it provides, its other features, the risk and potential benefits you will face, and the fees and expenses you will incur when, together with your financial representative, you consider an investment in the contract. You should pay attention to the following issues, among others:

•      Long–Term Investment – This contract is a long–term investment, and is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan or may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time funds are left in the contract. You should not participate in this contract if you are looking for a short–term investment or expect to need to make withdrawals before you are 59½;

•      Investment Risk – The value of investment options available under this contract may fluctuate with the markets and interest rates. You should not participate in this contract in order to invest in these options if you cannot risk getting back less money than you put in;

•      Features and Fees – The fees for this contract reflect costs associated with the features and benefits it provides. As you consider this contract, you should determine the value that these various benefits and features have for you, given your particular circumstances, and consider the charges for those features; and

•      ExchangesReplacing an existing insurance contract with this contract may not be beneficial to you. If this contract will be a replacement for another annuity contract or mutual fund option under the plan, you should compare the two options carefully, compare the costs associated with each, and identify additional benefits available under this contract. You should consider whether these additional benefits justify incurring a new schedule of early withdrawal charges or any increased charges that might apply under this contract. Also, be sure to talk to a qualified financial professional, tax and/or legal adviser to make sure that the exchange will be handled so that it is tax–free.

 

Other Products. We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the contracts described in this prospectus, 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 other options available, and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. These other options may not be available under your plan.

 

 

RIGHT TO CANCEL

 

When and How to Cancel. The contract holder may cancel the 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 along with a written notice of cancellation. For contracts issued in connection with 401 or 457 plans, the contract holder may follow these procedures on behalf of the participant.

 

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 calendar days of our receipt of your request in good order.

 

 

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 Investment Options

 

These options are called subaccounts of Variable Annuity Account C. Each subaccount invests directly in shares of a corresponding mutual fund and earnings on amounts invested in the subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.

 

Variable Annuity Account C

 

We established Variable Annuity Account C (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 (the “1940 Act”). It also meets the definition of separate account under the federal securities laws.

 

PRO.109622-20

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, whether or not realized, 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.

 

Funds Available Through the Separate Account

 

The separate account is divided into “subaccounts.” Each subaccount invests directly in shares of a corresponding fund. The funds available through the subaccounts of the separate account are listed in the front of this prospectus. We also provide brief descriptions of each fund 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 FDIC or any other government agency. Unless otherwise noted, all funds are diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional information and read them carefully. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge at the address and telephone number referenced under “Contract Overview – Questions: Contacting the Company,” by accessing the SEC’s website or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Branch.

 

Funds With Managed Volatility Strategies. As described in more detail in the fund prospectuses, certain funds employ a managed volatility strategy that is intended to reduce the fund’s overall volatility and downside risk, and to help us manage the risks associated with providing certain guarantees under the contract. During rising markets, the hedging strategies employed to manage volatility could result in your account value rising less than would have been the case if you had been invested in a fund with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies that does not utilize a volatility management strategy. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may have a negative impact on performance. On the other hand, investing in funds with a managed volatility strategy may be helpful in a declining market with higher market volatility because the hedging strategy will reduce your equity exposure in such circumstances. In such cases, your account value may decline less than would have been the case if you had not invested in funds with a managed volatility strategy. There is no guarantee that a managed volatility strategy can achieve or maintain the fund’s optimal risk targets, and the fund may not perform as expected.  Funds that employ a managed volatility strategy are identified in the list of available funds in the beginning of this prospectus.

 

Insurance–Dedicated Funds (Mixed and Shared Funding). The funds described in this prospectus are available only to insurance companies for their variable contracts (or directly to certain retirement plans, as allowed by the Tax Code). Such funds are often referred to as “insurance–dedicated funds,” and are used for “mixed” and “shared” funding.

 

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

 

Shared funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccount buys for variable annuity contracts, are also bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts. In other words:

•     Mixed funding––bought for annuities and life insurance; and

•      Shared funding––bought by more than one company.

 

Possible Conflicts of Interest. 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.

 

For additional risks associated with each fund, please see the fund’s prospectus.

Selection of Underlying Funds. The underlying funds available through the contract described in this prospectus are determined by the Company but ultimately selected by the Plan Sponsor. When determining which underlying funds to make available we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of an underlying fund with our hedging strategy, the strength of the adviser’s or sub–adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub–advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services, or whether affiliates of the fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the contracts. (For additional information on these arrangements, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Revenue from the Funds.”)  We review the funds periodically and may, subject to certain limits or restrictions, remove a fund or limit its availability to new contributions and/or transfers of account value if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations under the contract. We have included the certain of the funds at least in part because they are managed or sub–advised by our affiliates.

 

We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund and we do not provide investment advice.

 

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. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.

 

We will vote shares for which instructions have not been received in the same proportion as those for which we received instructions. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of persons (assuming there is a quorum) to determine 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.

 

We may restrict or eliminate any voting rights of persons who have voting rights as to the separate account.

 

Right to Change the Separate Account

 

We do not guarantee that each fund will always be available for investment through the contract. Subject to certain conditions and restrictions applicable to certain types of retirement plans and state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to the separate account with respect to some or all classes of contracts:

        Offer additional subaccounts that will invest in new funds or fund classes we find appropriate for contracts we issue;

        Combine two or more subaccounts;

        Close subaccounts. We will provide advance notice by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount. If a subaccount is closed or otherwise is unavailable for new investment, unless we receive alternative allocation instructions, all future amounts directed to the subaccount that was closed or is unavailable may be automatically allocated among the other available subaccounts according to the most recent allocation instructions we have on file. If the most recent allocation instructions we have on file do not include any available subaccounts, the amount to be allocated will be returned unless we are provided with alternative allocation instructions. Alternative allocation instructions can be given by contacting us at the address and telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company”;

PRO.109622-20

        Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests.  In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced.  A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:

>      A fund no longer suits the purposes of your contract;

>      There is a change in laws or regulations;

>      There is a change in the fund’s investment objectives or restrictions;

>      The fund is no longer available for investment; or

>      Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.

        Stop selling the contract;

        Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the separate account; or

        Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or its rules or regulations.

 

We will not make a change until the change is disclosed in an effective prospectus or prospectus supplement, authorized, if necessary, by an order from the SEC and approved, if necessary, by the appropriate state insurance department(s).

 

The changes described above do not include those changes that may, if allowed under your plan, be initiated by your plan sponsor.

 

We reserve the right to transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the contract belongs.

 

Selecting Investment Options

 

When Selecting Investment Options:

•      Choose options appropriate for you. Your sales representative can help you evaluate which investment options may be appropriate for your individual circumstances and 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. Because investment risk is borne by you, you should carefully consider any decisions that you make regarding investment allocations. You bear the risk of any decline in your account value resulting from the performance of the funds you have chosen; and

•      Be informed. Read this prospectus, all of the information that is available to you regarding the funds—including each fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, and annual and semi–annual reports, the fund prospectuses and the Fixed Dollar Option Appendix in this prospectus. After you select the options for your account dollars, you should monitor and periodically re–evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

 

Furthermore, be aware that there may be:

•      Limits on Availability of Options. Some funds may be unavailable through your contract or plan or in some states. Your plan sponsor may also have selected a subset of variable investment and/or fixed interest options to be available under your plan;

•      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; and

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

 

PRO.109622-20

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

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

 

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 be aware that:

•      We suspend the Electronic Trading Privileges, as defined below, of any individual or organization if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or organization’s transfer activity is disruptive or not in the best interest of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, or the participant’s in such products; and

•      Each underlying fund may limit or restrict fund purchases and we will implement any limitation or restriction on transfers to an underlying fund as directed by that underlying fund.

 

Consequently, individuals or organizations that use market–timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase or participate in the contract.

 

Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the Voya 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, or participants in such 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 rolling 12–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 any 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 Voya family of companies, or a fund.

 

PRO.109622-20

14

 

 


 

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 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 Customer Service 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 12–month period, we will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within 12 months of the initial purchase in the first round–trip 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 of any 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 the 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 that 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 and retirement products, or participants in such 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.

 

The Company does 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, participants, and fund investors, and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract owners and participants or, as applicable, to all contract owners and participants 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 Underlying Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the Voya family of companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, 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 and participant trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund 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 and participant transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner and participant transactions, this information may include personal contract owner and participant 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 or participant’s transactions if the fund determines that the contract owner or participant has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of purchase payments or account 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 unique identifier or personal password. You are responsible for keeping your unique identifier or personal password and account information confidential. 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 charges we assess and the deductions we make under the contract are in consideration for: (i) the services and benefits we provide; (ii) the costs and expenses we incur; and (iii) the risks we assume. The fees and charges deducted under the contract may result in a profit to us.

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

Transaction Fees

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 8.5% of your purchase payment to the contract.

______________

*    For participants under a group contract, the early withdrawal charge will be calculated based on the number of years from the certificate effective date. For amounts transferred into this contract as an internal exchange, see “Internal Exchanges” below.

**  Certain contracts do not allow withdrawals during the first contract year.

 

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.

 

PRO.109622-20

17

 

 


 

Internal Exchanges. In the case of amounts transferred from a prior contract or other arrangement issued or administered by the Company or certain of its affiliates, the “Number of Years from Contract Effective Date” is calculated from the date of the first purchase payment made under the individual’s account under the prior contract or if earlier, the effective date of the individual’s account under the prior contract or other arrangement. There is no surrender charge under this contract on amounts transferred or rolled over as an internal transfer when the prior contract or arrangement imposed a front end load, there was no applicable surrender charge under the prior contract or arrangement, or if the prior contract or arrangement would not have assessed a surrender charge if the money had been transferred to a contract issued by a non–affiliated company.

 

Fund Redemption Fees

 

Certain funds may impose redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers, or other fund transactions you initiate. If applicable, we would deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate and remit such fees back to that fund. Redemption fees, if any are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your account value. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.

 

Fees Deducted from Investments in the Separate Account

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

 

Maximum Amount: 1.25% annually of values invested in the subaccounts. We currently charge 0.95% annually.

 

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. It consists of the following risks:

•     The mortality risks are those risks associated with our promise to make lifetime income payments based on annuity rates specified in the contract; and

•      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 earn 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 the cost of providing administrative services under the contracts and in relation to the separate account and subaccounts.

 

Five–Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Charge

 

This additional charge is assessed only if you select the five–year guaranteed minimum income feature.

 

Amount: 1.00% annually of values invested in the subaccounts until the five–year guarantee period has ended.

 

When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. This charge will be assessed only during the first five contract years.

 

PRO.109622-20

18

 

 


 

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” in this section.

 

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 or arrangements offered 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 and Expenses

 

As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “Fee Table – Fund Fees and Expenses,” each fund deducts management/investment advisory 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 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. Fund fees and expenses are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn affects the value of each subaccount that purchases fund shares. Fund fees and expenses are one factor that impacts the value of a fund’s shares. To learn more about fund fees and expenses, the additional factors that can affect the value of a fund’s shares and other important information about the funds, refer to the fund prospectuses.

 

Less expensive share classes of the funds offered through this contract may be available for investment outside of this contract. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available through this contract before making a decision to invest. 

 

Revenue from the Funds

 

The Company or its affiliates may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates. This revenue may include:

•     A share of the management fee;

•      Service fees;

•      For certain share classes, 12b–1 fees; and

•      Additional payments (sometimes referred to as revenue sharing).

 

12b–1 fees are used to compensate the Company and its affiliates for distribution related activity.  Service fees and additional payments (sometimes collectively referred to as sub–accounting fees) help compensate the Company and its affiliates for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or the funds’ affiliates, such as:

•      Communicating with customers about their fund holdings;

•      Maintaining customer financial records;

•      Processing changes in customer accounts and trade orders (e.g. purchase and redemption requests);

•      Recordkeeping for customers, including subaccounting services;

PRO.109622-20

19

 

 


 

•      Answering customer inquiries about account status and purchase and redemption procedures;

•      Providing account balances, account statements, tax documents and confirmations of transactions in a customer’s account;

•      Transmitting proxy statements, annual and semi–annual reports, fund prospectuses and other fund communications to customers; and

•      Receiving, tabulating and transmitting proxies executed by customers.

 

The management fee, service fees and 12b–1 fees are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. Additional payments, which are not deducted from fund assets and may be paid out of the legitimate profits of fund advisers and/or other fund affiliates, do not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses, and we may use these additional payments to finance distribution.

 

The amount of revenue the Company may receive from each of the funds or from the funds’ affiliates may be substantial, 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 contract fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our contracts. Fund revenue is important to the Company’s profitability and it is generally more profitable for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

 

Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning funds managed by Voya Investments, LLC or another Company affiliate, generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the Company. Affiliated funds may also be subadvised by a Company affiliate or an unaffiliated third party. Assets allocated to unaffiliated funds, meaning funds managed by an unaffiliated third party, generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue for the Company. The Company expects to earn a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

 

Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds.  The revenue received by the Company from affiliated funds may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the Company or a share of the fund’s management fee.

 

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. The sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser does not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. The Company may also receive additional compensation in the form of intercompany payments from an affiliated fund’s investment adviser or the investment adviser’s parent in order to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue received from affiliated funds provide the Company with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds through the contract rather than unaffiliated funds.

 

Additionally, in the case of affiliated funds subadvised by third parties, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. However, subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences.

 

Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds.  Revenue received from each of the 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 we receive may be significant.

 

If the unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the contract (including funds with limited availability) that made cash payments to us were individually ranked according to the total amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2019, in connection with the registered variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, that ranking would be as follows:

Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products Funds

Invesco Variable Insurance Funds

Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust Funds

Calvert Funds

Lord Abbett Series Funds

 

 

 

PRO.109622-20

20

 

 


 

If the revenues received from the affiliated funds were taken into account when ranking the funds according to the total dollar amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2019, the affiliated funds would be first on the list.

 

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 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 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 personnel; and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

 

Please note 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. See also “Contract Distribution.”

 

Fund of Funds

 

Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds.” 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 may be affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each fund and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the investment option list in the front of this prospectus.

 

Premium and Other Taxes

 

Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%, 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 “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

 

 

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 for each unit.

 

Annuity Units. When you select variable income payments, your initial purchase payment purchases annuity units of the separate account 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.

 

PRO.109622-20

21

 

 


 

Annuity Unit Value. The value of each annuity unit in a subaccount is called the annuity unit value (“AUV”). The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment performance. The AUV 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 NYSE (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 3.5% or 5%, as you select. Currently, we are only offering an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5%.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

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); or

•      The nonlifetime payment option.

 

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

 

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); or

•     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.

 

PRO.109622-20

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 3.5% or 5% assumed annual net return rate stated in the contract). Withdrawal values are determined as of the valuation date following our receipt of your written request in good order at our Customer Service.

 

Fixed Income Payments. See APPENDIX I for details regarding the withdrawal value of fixed payments.

 

Amount Received. For partial withdrawals, you will receive, reduced by any required withholding tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value in your account. However, the amount actually withdrawn from your account will be adjusted by any applicable early withdrawal charge and redemption fees.

 

Early Withdrawal Charge

 

Withdrawals may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as described in “Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge,” and may also be subject to redemption fees as described in “Fees – Fund Redemption Fees.”

 

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.

 

The Tax Code and/or your plan may impose other limitations on withdrawals. In addition, on March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  Among other provisions, the CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the limitations the Tax Code imposes on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Distributions – Eligibility.”

 

 

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 FEDERAL Tax Considerations” 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 calendar days following our receipt of your request in good order.

 

PRO.109622-20

23

 

 


 

If the death benefit is not taken in a lump sum, your beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the Tax Code. These rules recently changed for death occurring after January 1, 2020. Failure to meet these rules can result in tax penalties. The CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the Tax Code rules applicable to the distribution of the death benefit. SeeFEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS for additional information.

 

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 3.5% 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 IFixed Dollar Option for information on calculation of a lump–sum payment of the death benefit applicable to the fixed dollar option.

 

Payment of Death Benefit or Proceeds

 

Subject to the conditions and requirements of state law, full payment of the death benefit or proceeds (“Proceeds”) to a beneficiary may be made either into an interest bearing retained asset account that is backed by our general account (described in “The Retained Asset Account” below) or by check. For additional information about the payment options available to you, please refer to your claim forms or contact us at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” Beneficiaries should carefully review all settlement and payment options available under the contract and are encouraged to consult with a financial professional, tax and/or legal adviser before choosing a settlement or payment option.

 

The Retained Asset Account. The retained asset account, known as the Voya Personal Transition Account, is an interest bearing account backed by our general account. The retained asset account is not guaranteed by the FDIC and, as part of our general account, is subject to the claims of our creditors. Beneficiaries that receive their payment through the retained asset account may access the entire Proceeds in the account at any time without penalty through a draftbook feature. The Company seeks to earn a profit on the account, and interest credited on the account may vary from time to time but will not be less than the minimum rate stated in the supplemental contract delivered to the beneficiary together with the paperwork to make a claim to the Proceeds. Interest earned on the Proceeds in the account may be less than could be earned if the Proceeds were invested outside of the account. Likewise, interest credited on the Proceeds in the account may be less than under other settlement or payment options available through the contract.

 

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 with us 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.

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 the Five–Year 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).

 

*If you select the Five–Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature, you may not make any withdrawals.

 

Terms to understand:

Annuitant(s): The person(s) whose life or life

expectancy(ies) determines the amount or continuation of lifetime income payments or whose death results in payment of death benefits.

 

Beneficiary(ies): The person(s) or entity(ies) entitled to receive a death benefit under the contract.

 

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 minimum distribution requirements if applicable.

 

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 the Tax Code and regulations thereunder.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Assumed Annual Net Return Rate. If you select variable income payments we will apply an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5%. We reserve the right to also offer an assumed annual net return rate of 5%, in which case, you must select an assumed annual net return rate of either 5% or 3.5%. If you do not select an assumed annual net return rate, the default will be a 3.5% annual net return rate. Currently, we are only offering an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5%.

 

For contracts issued with an assumed annual net return rate of 5%, 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.

 

For contracts issued with an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5%, 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.

 

PRO.109622-20

25

 

 


 

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.”

 

Five–Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature. 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 the contract. The guaranteed minimum payment amount equals 90% of your estimated initial payment. If the variable annuity minimum income guarantee has been chosen or assumed, an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5% will apply.

 

Estimated Initial Payment Amount. On the date we issue the contract we estimate the amount of your initial payment based on the value of the annuity units your payment purchases 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:

•    A lifetime payment option or a nonlifetime payment option of 15 years or more;

•    The ability to make withdrawals;

•    100% variable payments;

•    A 3.5% assumed annual net return rate; and

•    Funds from the following list:

>   Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio

>   FidelityÒ VIP Equity–Income PortfolioSM

>   Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund

>   Voya Balanced Portfolio

>   Voya Government Money Market Portfolio

>   Voya Growth and Income Portfolio

>   Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio

>   Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio

>   Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio

>   Voya RussellTM Large Cap Index Portfolio

>   Voya Strategic Allocation Conservative Portfolio

>   Voya Strategic Allocation Growth Portfolio

>   Voya Strategic Allocation Moderate Portfolio

>   VY® Clarion Real Estate Portfolio

>   VY® Invesco Comstock Portfolio

>   VY® Invesco Equity and Income Portfolio

>   VY® Pioneer High Yield Portfolio

>   VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio

 

If you select this feature you may transfer only between these available funds.

 

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 FEDERAL Tax Considerations” for rules applicable where death occurs before the annuity starting date under a nonqualified annuity. Consult a tax and/or legal adviser before electing a delay. Annuity payments under a qualified contract must meet the required beginning date applicable to your 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 minimum distribution 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 “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

Payment Options

The following table lists the income payment options and their accompanying death benefits and rights to withdraw. The Tax Code and/or some contracts may restrict the options and the terms available to you and/or your beneficiary. See “Death Benefit,” Withdrawals,” “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS,” and APPENDIX I for additional detail. We may offer additional income payment options under the contract from time to time.

•    100% of the payment to continue to the annuitant on the joint annuitant’s death, and a reduced payment to continue to the joint annuitant on the annuitant’s death.

In either case, payments cease upon the death of the surviving annuitant.

Any reduction in payment will result in a corresponding reduction to the amount of the guaranteed minimum income payment, if applicable.

Death Benefit–None: All payments end upon the death of both annuitants.

Right to Withdraw–None.

Life Income –

Two

Right to Withdraw:

•    If you are receiving variable income payments you may withdraw all or a portion of any remaining guaranteed payments at any time.

•    If you elect to receive fixed income payments at the time of purchase, you may elect the right to withdraw all or a portion of any remaining guaranteed payments (some restrictions apply, see “Withdrawals.”)

 

 

 

__________________________________

*  For qualified contracts a guaranteed payment period may not extend beyond your life expectancy or age 100 whichever is earlier. For non–qualified contracts, a guaranteed payment period may not extend beyond age 100.

 

PRO.109622-20

27

 

 


 

Right to Change Guaranteed Payment Period

 

If you are receiving payments under a nonlifetime payment option, you may shorten or lengthen the period for which the guaranteed payments will be made or change to a lifetime payment option, subject to the following:

•     You may make the change on any contract anniversary beginning on the second contract anniversary;

     Any change request must be in writing and received by us in good order within 30 days prior to the contract anniversary;

     A guaranteed payment period may be shortened to a period not less than ten years from the contract effective date;

•     For nonqualified contracts, a guaranteed payment period may be lengthened to a period not greater than 50 years from the contract effective date or age 100, whichever is earlier;

•     For qualified contracts, a guaranteed payment period may not extend beyond your life expectancy or age 100, whichever is earlier;

•     The withdrawal value on the contract anniversary of the change, along with current benefit rates in effect at that time, will be used to determine the amount of the new annuity payments (see “Withdrawals – Withdrawal Value”); and

•      We will terminate your withdrawal rights if a life annuity option is chosen.

 

The right to change a payment period is available for both fixed and variable payments. 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 and/or legal adviser.

 

 

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

 

 

Introduction

 

The contract described in this prospectus is designed to be treated as an annuity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading this section:

•    Your tax position (or the tax position of the beneficiary, as applicable) determines the federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contracts;

•    Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past, including the contract described in this prospectus;

•    This section addresses some, but not all, applicable federal income tax rules and generally does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes or any other tax provisions;

•    We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the contract; and

•    No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.

 

 

In this Section:

•    Introduction;

•    Taxation of Nonqualified Contracts;

•    Taxation of Qualified Contracts;

•    Possible Changes in Taxation; and

•    Taxation of the Company.

 

When consulting a tax and/or legal adviser, be certain that he or she has expertise with respect to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”) that apply to your tax concerns.

 

We do not intend this information to be tax advice.  No attempt is made to provide more than a general summary of information about the use of the contract with non–tax–qualified and tax–qualified retirement arrangements, and the Tax Code may contain other restrictions and conditions that are not included in this summary.  You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser for advice about the effect of federal income tax laws, state tax laws or any other tax laws affecting the contract or any transactions involving the contract.

 

PRO.109622-20

Immediate Annuities.  Under Section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity:

•     That is purchased with a single premium;

•     With annuity payments starting within one year from the date of purchase; and

•     That provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more frequently. 

 

This contract is designed as an immediate annuity.  Treatment as an immediate annuity has significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non–natural persons, and for certain exchanges. You should consult with your tax and/or legal adviser about use of the contract as an immediate annuity.

 

Types of Contracts:  Nonqualified or Qualified

 

The contract may be issued as either a “nonqualified contract” or as a “qualified contract” for use with a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) under Section 408(b) of the Tax Code or with retirement plans under Tax Code Sections 401, 403(b) or 457.

 

Nonqualified Contracts.  Nonqualified contracts do not receive the same tax benefits as are afforded to contracts funding qualified plans. You may not deduct the amount of your purchase payments to a nonqualified contract. Rather, nonqualified contracts are purchased with after–tax contributions and are purchased to save money with the right to receive annuity payments for either a specified period of time or over a lifetime.

 

Qualified Contracts.  Qualified contracts are designed for use by individuals and/or employers whose purchase payments are comprised solely of proceeds from and/or contributions to retirement plans or programs that are intended to qualify as plans or programs entitled to special favorable income tax treatment under Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b), 408, 408A or 457(b) of the Tax Code. Employers or individuals intending to use the contract with such plans should seek legal and tax advice.

 

Roth Accounts.  Tax Code Section 402A allows employees of employers offering 401(k) plans, employees of public schools and certain Tax Code Section 501(c)(3) organizations offering 403(b) plans, and employees of certain governmental employers offering 457(b) plans to contribute after–tax salary contributions to a Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) and Roth 457(b) account, respectively.  Roth accounts provide for tax–free distributions, subject to certain conditions and restrictions. If permitted by us and under the plan for which the contract is issued, we will set up one or more accounts for you under the contract for Roth after–tax contributions and the portion of any transfer or rollover attributable to such amounts.

 

Taxation of Nonqualified Contracts

 

Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution or Annuity Starting Date

 

General.  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 nonqualified 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 collaterally 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 Treasury Regulations 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 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 requirements, and we reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to do so;

PRO.109622-20

•      Investor Control.  Although earnings under nonqualified annuity 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 owner from being considered the federal tax owner of a proportional 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 a nonqualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract will be distributed in the event of your death.  The nonqualified 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 Owners of a Non–Qualified Contract.  If the owner of the contract is not a natural person (in other words, you are not an individual), a nonqualified 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 purchase payments 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 a tax and/or legal adviser before 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 for purposes of the required distribution rules described above; and

•      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 95), 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.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

General.  When a withdrawal from a nonqualified contract occurs before the contract’s annuity starting date, 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.  A market value adjustment, if applicable, could increase the contract value. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all purchase payments to the contract, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, collateral assignments or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non–taxable distributions previously made.

 

In the case of a surrender under a nonqualified 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 nonqualified contract may be subject to a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount treated as income.  In general, however, there is no penalty tax 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 tax 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 and/or legal adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

 

PRO.109622-20

30

 

 


 

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 generally carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax and/or legal adviser regarding procedures for making Tax Code Section 1035 exchanges.

 

If your contract is purchased through a tax–free exchange of an 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.”

 

In certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract is a tax–free exchange. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of partial withdrawals or surrenders from either the original contract or the new contract during the 180 day period beginning on the date of the partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the partial withdrawal or surrender of the original contract may 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 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax. 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, reports or recognizes a partial exchange. We strongly advise you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 180 days of a partial exchange with your tax and/or legal adviser 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 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.

 

Annuity contracts that are partially annuitized are treated as separate contracts with their own annuity starting date and exclusion ratio. Specifically, an exclusion ratio will be applied to any amount received as an annuity under a portion of the annuity contract, provided that annuity payments are made for a period of ten years or more or for life. Please consult your tax and/or legal 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. 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 die on September 1, 2020, your entire balance must be distributed by August 31, 2025. 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 or is changed, the same rules apply as outlined above for the death of a contract owner.

 

PRO.109622-20

31

 

 


 

Generally, amounts distributed from a contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant prior to the time annuity payments begin are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: 

•      If distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract; or

•      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 the contract value and receive payments.

 

If the death occurs after annuity payments begin, a guaranteed period exists under the annuity option selected, and the annuitant dies before the end of that period, payments made for the remainder of that period are includible in income as follows:

•      If distributed in a lump sum, they are included in income to the extent that they exceed the unrecovered investment in the contract at that time; or

•      If distributed in accordance with the existing annuity option selected, they are fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the contract is deemed to be recovered, and all payments thereafter are fully includible in income.

 

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

 

Collateral Assignments, Pledges, Gratuitous Transfers and Other Issues.  A pledge or collateral assignment (or agreement to pledge or collaterally assign) any portion of the contract value of a nonqualified contract is treated as a distribution of such amount or portion. If the entire contract value is pledged or collaterally assigned, subsequent increases in the contract value are also treated as distributions for as long as the pledge or collateral assignment remains in place. The investment in the contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such pledge or collateral assignment, though it is not affected by any other aspect of the pledge or collateral assignment (including its release).

 

If an owner transfers a non–qualified contract without adequate consideration (a gratuitous transfer) to a person other than the owner’s spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), the owner must include in income the difference between the “cash surrender value” and the investment in the contract at the time of the transfer. In such case, the transferee’s investment in the contract will be increased to reflect the amount that is included in the transferor’s income. The exceptions for transfers to an owner’s spouse or former spouse are limited to individuals who are treated as spouses under federal law.

 

The designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may result in certain tax consequences to you that are generally not discussed herein.

 

Anyone contemplating any pledges, collateral assignments, gratuitous transfers, or other designations, should consult a tax and/or legal adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

 

Multiple Contracts.  Tax laws require that all nonqualified 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.

 

Net Investment Income Tax.  A net investment income tax of 3.8% will apply to some types of investment income.  This tax will apply to all taxable distributions from nonqualified contracts.  This tax only applies to taxpayers with “modified adjusted gross income” above $250,000 in the case of married couples filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er) with dependent child, $125,000 in the case of married couples filing separately, and $200,000 for all others.

 

PRO.109622-20

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, if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is incorrect, or if payment is made outside of the U.S. 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 any 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.

 

If the payee is a non–resident alien, then U.S. federal withholding on taxable distributions will generally be at a 30% rate, unless a lower tax treaty rate applies. We may require additional documentation prior to processing any requested transaction.

 

If the payee of a distribution from the contract is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non–financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Tax Code as amended by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the contract or the distribution.  The rules relating to FATCA are complex, and a tax advisor should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the contract.

 

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

 

Temporary Rules Under the CARES Act

 

On March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Among other provisions, the CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the Tax Code rules described below. The scope and availability of this temporary relief may vary depending on a number of factors, including (1) the type of plan with which the contract is used; (2) whether your plan implements a particular type of relief; (3) your specific circumstances; and (4) future guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor. You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine if relief is available to you before taking or failing to take any actions involving the contract or your interest in the contract.

 

Required Minimum Distributions. The CARES Act waives the requirement to take minimum distributions from defined contribution plans in 2020. The waiver applies to any minimum distribution due from such an arrangement in 2020, including minimum distributions with respect to the 2019 tax year that are due in 2020.

 

The relief applies both to lifetime and post-death minimum distributions due in 2020. In that regard, the CARES Act also provides that if the post-death five-year rule described below under “Required Distributions Upon Death” applies, the five-year period is determined without regard to calendar year 2020. It is unclear whether this special exception extends to the ten-year period also described below under that same heading.

 

Distributions. The CARES Act provides relief for coronavirus-related distributions made from certain qualified plans to a “qualified individual” (defined below). The relief:

·       Permits in-service distributions, even if such amounts are not otherwise distributable from the plan under Tax Code sections 401(k), 403(b), or 457;

·       Provides an exception to the 10% Additional Tax under Tax Code section 72(t);

PRO.109622-20

33

 

 


 

·       Exempts the distribution from the mandatory 20% withholding applicable to eligible rollover distributions;

·       Permits the employee to include income attributable to the distribution over the three-year period beginning with the year the distribution would otherwise be taxable unless the taxpayer elects out; and

·       Permits recontribution of the distribution to a plan or IRA within three years, in which case the recontribution is generally treated as a direct trustee to trustee transfer within 60 days of the distribution.

 

The distribution must come from an “eligible retirement plan” within the meaning of Tax Code section 402(c)(8)(B), i.e., a 401(a) plan, 403(a) plan, 403(b) plan, or governmental 457(b) plan, including Roth arrangements. The relief is limited to aggregate distributions of $100,000. The relief applies to such distributions made at any time during the 2020 calendar year. 

 

Individuals Eligible for Withdrawal and Loan Relief. Only a “qualified individual” is eligible for the withdrawal and loan relief provided under the CARES Act. A “qualified individual” is an individual in one of the following categories:

·       The individual is diagnosed with the virus SARS-CoV-2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) by a test approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

·       The individual’s spouse or dependent is diagnosed with such virus or disease; or

·       The individual experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such virus or disease, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to such virus or disease, or other factors as determined by Internal Revenue Service.

 

The CARES Act provides that the administrator of an eligible retirement plan may rely on an employee’s certification that the employee is a qualified individual as defined above.

 

Eligible Retirement Plans and Programs

 

The contract may be purchased with the following retirement plans and programs to accumulate retirement savings:

•      401(a), 401(k) and Roth 401(k) Plans. Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Tax Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permit self–employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees. The Tax Code also allows employees of certain private employers to contribute after–tax salary contributions to a Roth 401(k) account, which provides for tax–free distributions, subject to certain restrictions;

•      403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code allows employees of certain Tax Code Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their gross income the purchase payments made, within certain limits, to a contract that will provide an annuity for the employee’s retirement. The Tax Code also allows employees of 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to contribute after–tax salary contributions to a Roth 403(b) account, which provides for tax–free distributions, subject to certain restrictions;

•      Individual Retirement Annuities (“IRA”) and Roth IRA. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”). Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA, which provides for tax–free distributions, subject to certain restrictions. Sales of the contract for use with IRAs or Roth IRAs may be subject to special requirement 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, where the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRA qualification requirements; and

•      457 and Roth 457 Plans. Section 457 of the Tax Code permits certain employers to offer deferred compensation plans for their employees. These plans may be offered by state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and certain affiliates of such entities (governmental employers), as well as non–governmental, tax–exempt organizations (non–governmental employers). A 457 plan is a 457(b) plan. Participation in a 457(b) plan maintained by a non–governmental employer is generally limited to a select group of management and highly–compensated employees (other than 457(b) plans maintained by nonqualified, church–controlled organizations). Depending on the plan design, the participant may be entitled to determine the investment allocation of their deferred compensation account. The Tax Code also allows employees of governmental 457(b) Plan employers to contribute after–tax salary contributions to a Roth 457(b) account, which provides for tax–free distributions, subject to certain restrictions.

 

PRO.109622-20

The Company may offer or have offered the contract for use with certain other types of qualified plans. Please see your contract and consult with your tax adviser if you have questions about other types of plan arrangements not discussed herein.

 

Special Considerations for IRAs.  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. You may roll over a distribution from an IRA to an IRA only once in any 12 month period. You will not be able to roll over any portion of an IRA distribution if you rolled over any other IRA distribution during the preceding 1–year period. This limit applies by aggregating all of your IRAs, including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs as well as traditional and Roth IRAs, effectively treating them as one IRA for purposes of this limit. Please note that this one–rollover–per–year rule does not apply to: (1) the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, (2) a rollover to or from a qualified plan, or (3) a trustee–to–trustee transfer between IRAs. Please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser if you have additional questions about these rules.

 

Early distributions from SIMPLE IRAs made within 2 years of beginning participation in the SIMPLE IRA are subject to a 25% early distribution tax.

 

Special Considerations for Roth IRAs. Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be eligible to contribute. Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA, IRA, or eligible plan. 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. A conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, and a rollover from any other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA, made after December 31, 2017, cannot be recharacterized as having been made to a traditional IRA.

 

You will not be able to roll over any portion of a Roth IRA distribution if you rolled over any other IRA distribution during the preceding 1–year period.  This limit applies by aggregating all of your IRAs, including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs as well as traditional and Roth IRAs, effectively treating them as one IRA for purposes of this limit.  Please note that this one–rollover–per–year rule does not apply to: (1) the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, (2) a rollover to or from a qualified plan, or (3) a trustee–to–trustee transfer between Roth IRAs.  Please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser if you have additional questions about these rules. 

 

A 10% penalty tax 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.

 

Special Considerations for Section 457 Plans.  Under 457(b) plans of non–governmental employers, all amounts of deferred compensation, all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such amounts, property and rights remain solely the property and rights of the employer and are subject to the claims of the employer’s general creditors. 457(b) plans of governmental employers, on the other hand, are required to hold all assets and income of the plan in trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. For purposes of meeting this requirement, an annuity contract is treated as a trust.

 

Taxation

 

The tax rules applicable to qualified contracts vary according to the type of qualified contract, the specific terms and conditions of the qualified contract and the terms and conditions of the qualified plan or program. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a qualified contract, or on income phase (e.g., annuity) payments from a qualified contract, depends on the type of qualified contract or program as well as your particular facts and circumstances. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a qualified contract with proceeds from a tax–qualified plan or program in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.

 

PRO.109622-20

35

 

 


 

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

•      Other specified circumstances.

 

Some qualified plans and programs are subject to additional distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the contract described in this prospectus. No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the contract with qualified plans and programs. Contract owners, sponsoring employers, participants, annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefit under these qualified plans and programs may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan or program, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. The Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans and program to the extent such terms contradict the language of the contract, unless we consent in writing.

 

Contract owners, sponsoring employers, participants, annuitants, 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 tax and/or legal 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 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 described 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 the guaranteed death benefit or the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) that may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with a qualified financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.

 

Contributions

 

In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions to certain qualified plans and programs are limited by the Tax Code. We provide general information on these requirements for certain plans and programs below. You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser in connection with contributions to a qualified contract.

 

401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. The total annual contributions (including pre–tax and Roth 401(k) or Roth 403(b) after–tax contributions) by you and your employer cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $57,000 (as indexed for 2020). Compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan and, includes any elective deferrals under Tax Code Section 402(g) and any amounts not includible in gross income under Tax Code Sections 125 or 457.

 

This limit applies to your contributions as well as to any contributions made by your employer on your behalf. An additional requirement limits your salary reduction contributions to a 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b) or Roth 403(b) plan to generally no more than $19,500 (as indexed for 2020). Contribution limits are subject to annual adjustments for cost–of–living increases. Your own limit may be higher or lower, depending upon certain conditions.

 

With the exception of the Roth 401(k) and Roth 403(b) contributions, purchase payments to your account(s) will generally be excluded from your gross income. Roth 401(k) and Roth 403(b) salary reduction contributions are made on an after–tax basis.

 

457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans. The total annual contributions (including pre–tax and Roth 457(b) after–tax salary reduction contributions) made by you and your employer to a 457(b) or Roth 457(b) plan cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your includible compensation or $19,500 (as indexed for 2020). Generally, includible compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan, including deferrals to the employer’s Tax Code Section 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), and 125 cafeteria plans in addition to any deferrals to the 457(b) or Roth 457(b) plan.

 

PRO.109622-20

Catch–up Contributions. Notwithstanding the contribution limits noted above, if permitted by the plan, a participant in a 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), governmental 457(b) or governmental Roth 457(b) plan who is at least age 50 by the end of the participant’s taxable year may contribute an additional amount (“Age 50 Catch–ups”) not to exceed the lesser of:

•      $6,500; or  

•      The participant’s compensation for the year reduced by any other elective deferrals of the participant for the year.

 

Special 457 Catch–ups. Special catch–up provisions may be available for 457(b) plans (“Special 457 Catch–ups”) during the three years prior to the participant’s normal retirement age. Note that the Special 457 Catch–ups cannot be used simultaneously with the Age 50 Catch–ups. Specifically, a participant may elect to defer the lesser of:  (a) twice the deferral limit ($39,000); or (b) the basic annual limit plus the amount of the basic annual limit not used in prior taxable years (disregarding any deferrals under the Age 50 Catch–up). If a participant is eligible for the Special 457 Catch–up and the Age 50 Catch–up, the participant can make deferrals up to the greater catch–up limit, but may not make deferrals in excess of the greater catch–up limit.) For advice with respect to these catch–up provisions, please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser.

 

Traditional and Roth IRAs.  You are eligible to contribute to a traditional IRA if you have compensation includible in income for the taxable year.  For 2020, the contribution to your traditional IRA cannot exceed the lesser of $6,000 or your taxable compensation.  If you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional catch–up contribution of $1,000.  Contributions to a traditional IRA may be deductible depending on your modified adjusted gross income (“MAGI”), tax filing status, and whether you or your spouse are an active participant in a retirement plan.

 

You may be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA if you have compensation includible in income for the year.  For 2020, the contribution to a Roth IRA cannot exceed the lesser of $6,000 or your taxable compensation.  If you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional catch up contribution of $1,000.  The amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA is reduced by the amount of any contributions you make to an individual retirement plan for your benefit (not including SEPs or SIMPLE IRAs).  Your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA may be further limited by your MAGI and tax filing status.  Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible.

 

Distributions – General

 

Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a contract including withdrawals, income phase (i.e., annuity) payments, and death benefit proceeds. If a portion of a distribution is taxable, the distribution will be reported to the IRS.

 

401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and Governmental 457(b) Plans. Distributions from these plans are generally taxed as received unless one of the following is true:

•      The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is directly transferred or rolled over within 60 days 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 on all or part of the earnings on the contributions 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.

A distribution 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 (or life expectancy) of the participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of ten years or more;

•      A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);

•      A hardship withdrawal; or

•      Otherwise not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

 

PRO.109622-20

37

 

 


 

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

•      The distribution is directly transferred to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Tax Code; or

•      You made after–tax contributions to the IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according to rules detailed in the Tax Code.

 

10% Additional Tax.  The Tax Code imposes a 10% additional tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a 401(a), 401(k) or 403(b) or Roth 403(b) plan (collectively, “qualified plans”). The Tax Code imposes a 10% additional tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a traditional or Roth IRA, or amounts from a governmental 457(b) or Roth 457(b) plan that are attributable to amounts transferred from a qualified plan.

 

Exceptions to the 10% additional tax may apply if:

•      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 tax free into another eligible retirement plan or to a traditional or Roth IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;

•      The distribution is paid directly to the government in accordance with an IRS levy;

•      The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Tax Code;

•      The distribution is a qualified birth or adoption distribution;

•      The distribution is eligible for penalty relief extended to victims of certain natural disasters; or

•      You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are deductible (without regard to whether you itemized deductions);

•      You have separated from service with the plan sponsor at or after age 55;

•      You are a qualified public safety employee taking a distribution from a governmental plan and you separated from service after age 50;

•      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 life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated beneficiary; or

•      The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”).

 

Additional exceptions may apply to distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA if:

•      The distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life (or life expectancy) or the join lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated beneficiary;

•      The distributions are not more than the cost of your medical insurance due to a period of unemployment (subject to certain conditions);

•      The distributions are not more than your qualified higher education expenses; or

•      You use the distribution to buy, build or rebuild a first home.

 

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

 

Qualified Distributions – Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b), Roth 457(b) and Roth IRA. A partial or full distribution of purchase payments to a Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b), Roth 457(b) or a Roth IRA account and earnings credited on those purchase payments (or of in–plan rollover amounts and earnings credited on those amounts, as described in the “In–Plan Roth Rollovers” section below) will be excludable from income if it is a qualified distribution. A “qualified distribution” from a Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b), Roth 457(b) or a Roth IRA account is defined as a distribution that meets the following two requirements:

•      The distribution occurs after the five–year taxable period measured from the earlier of:

>      The first taxable year you, as applicable, made a contribution to a Roth IRA or a designated Roth contribution to any designated Roth account established for you under the same applicable retirement plan as defined in Tax Code Section 402A;

>      If a rollover contribution was made from a designated Roth account previously established for you under another applicable retirement plan, the first taxable year for which you made a designated Roth contribution to such previously established account; or

>      The first taxable year in which you made an in–plan Roth rollover of non–Roth amounts under the same plan; AND

PRO.109622-20

38

 

 


 

•      The distribution occurs after you attain age 59½, die with payment being made to your beneficiary or estate, or become disabled as defined in the Tax Code.

 

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

 

Non–Governmental 457(b) Plans. Compensation deferred under a 457(b) plan of a non–governmental employer is generally includible in income in the first year in which it is paid or otherwise made available to you or your designated beneficiary.

 

Distributions – Eligibility

 

Distributions from qualified plans (as described in this prospectus) generally may occur only upon the occurrence of certain events. The terms of your plan will govern when you are eligible to take a distribution from the plan. The following describes circumstances when you may be able to take a distribution from certain more common types of plans.

 

401(a) Pension Plans. Subject to the terms of your 401(a) pension plan, distributions generally may only occur upon:

•     Retirement;

•     Death;

•     Disability;

•     Severance from employment;

•     Attainment of normal retirement age;

•     Attainment of age 59½; or

•     Termination of the plan. 

 

Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions under the Tax Code.

 

401(k) and Roth 401(k) Plans. Subject to the terms of your 401(k) plan, distributions from your 401(k) or Roth 401(k) employee account, and possibly all or a portion of your 401(k) or Roth 401(k) employer account generally may only occur upon:

•     Retirement;

•     Death;

•     Attainment of age 59½;

•     Severance from employment;

•     Disability;

•     The birth or adoption of a child;

•     Financial hardship (for 2018 and earlier, contributions only, not earnings); or

•     Termination of the plan; or

•     Meeting other circumstances as allowed by federal law, regulations or rulings.

 

Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions under the Tax Code.

 

403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. Subject to the terms of your 403(b) or Roth (403(b) plan, distribution of certain salary reduction contributions and earnings generally may occur only upon:

•      Retirement;

•      Death;

•      Attainment of age 59½;

•      Severance from employment;

•      Disability;

•      The birth or adoption of a child;

•      Financial hardship (contributions only, not earnings);

•      Termination of the plan; or

•      Meeting other circumstances as allowed by federal law, regulations or rulings.

 

Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions under the Tax Code.

 

PRO.109622-20

39

 

 


 

Section 403(b) regulations prohibit the distribution of amounts attributable to employer contributions before the earlier of your severance from employment or prior to the occurrence of some event as provided under your employer’s plan, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age, or a disability.

 

If the Company agrees to accept amounts exchanged from a Tax Code Section 403(b)(7) custodial account, such amounts will be subject to the withdrawal restrictions set forth in Tax Code Section 403(b)(7)(A)(ii).

 

Before we process a withdrawal request we generally are required to confirm with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise that the withdrawals you request from a 403(b) contract comply with applicable tax requirements.

 

457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans.  Under 457(b) and Roth 457(b) plans, distributions may generally not be made available to you earlier than:

•     The calendar year you attain age 59½;

•     When you experience a severance from employment; or

•     When you experience an unforeseeable emergency. 

 

A one–time in–service distribution may also be permitted under a Section 457(b) plan entity if the total amount payable to the participant does not exceed $5,000 and no amounts have been deferred by the participant during the two–year period ending on the date of distribution.

 

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), 457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans and IRAs)

 

To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must also satisfy the required minimum distribution rules set forth in the Tax Code. These rules dictate the following:

•      The start date for distributions;

•      The time period in which all amounts in your contract(s) must be distributed; and

•      Distribution amounts.

 

Start Date. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 72 (age 70½ if born before July 1, 1949) or in the case of an employer–sponsored plan, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you retire, whichever occurs later, unless:

•      Under 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) plan that are not governmental or church plans, you are a 5% owner, in which case such distributions must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 72 (age70½ if born before July 1, 1949); or

•      Under 403(b) plans, the Company maintains separate records of amounts held as of December 31, 1986. In this case distribution of these amounts generally must begin by the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 75. However, if you take any distributions in excess of the minimum required amount, then special rules require that the excess be distributed from the December 31, 1986 balance.

 

Time Period. You must receive 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 minimum distribution must be calculated in accordance with Tax Code Section 401(a)(9). Before annuity payments begin, the required minimum distribution amount is generally determined by dividing the entire interest in the account as of December 31 of the preceding year by the applicable distribution period. The entire interest in the account includes the amount of any outstanding rollover, transfer, and recharacterization, if applicable, and the actuarial present value of other benefits provided under the account, such as guaranteed death benefits and any optional living benefit. If annuity payments have begun under an annuity option that satisfies the Tax Code Section 401(a)(9) regulations, such payments will generally be viewed as satisfying your required minimum distribution.

 

PRO.109622-20

40

 

 


 

50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the required minimum distribution for any tax year, a 50% excise tax is imposed on the required amount that was not distributed. In certain circumstances this excise tax may be waived by the IRS.

 

Roth IRAs. Required minimum distributions are not applicable to Roth IRAs during your lifetime.

 

Further information regarding required minimum distributions may be found in your contract or certificate.

 

Required Distributions Upon Death (401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), 457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans and IRAs and Roth IRAs)

 

Upon your death, any remaining interest in a 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), 457(b), Roth 457(b), IRAs or Roth IRA plan must be distributed in accordance with federal income tax requirements under Section 401(a)(9) of the Tax Code. The death benefit provisions of your contract will be interpreted to comply with those requirements. The post-death distribution requirements were amended, applicable generally with respect to deaths occurring after 2019, by the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (“SECURE Act”), which was part of the larger Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020. The post-death distribution requirements under prior law continue to apply in certain circumstances.

 

Prior Law. Under prior law, if an employee under an employer sponsored retirement plan dies prior to the required beginning date, the remaining interest must be distributed (1) within five years after the death (the “five-year rule”), or (2) over the life of the designated beneficiary, or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, provided that such distributions commence within one year after death (the “lifetime payout rule”). If the employee dies on or after the required beginning date (including after the date distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity), the remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death (the “at-least-as-rapidly rule”).

 

The New Law. Under the new law, if you die after 2019, and you have a designated beneficiary, any remaining interest must be distributed within ten years after your death, unless the designated beneficiary is an eligible designated beneficiary (“EDB”) or some other exception applies. A designated beneficiary is any individual designated as a beneficiary by the employee. An EDB is any designated beneficiary who is (1) your surviving spouse, (2) your minor child, (3) disabled, (4) chronically ill, or (5) an individual not more than ten years younger than you. An individual’s status as an EDB is determined on the date of your death. This ten-year post-death distribution period applies regardless of whether you die before your required beginning date or you die on or after that date (including after distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity). However, if the beneficiary is an EDB and the EDB dies before the entire interest is distributed under this ten-year rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within ten years after the EDB’s death (i.e., a new ten-year distribution period begins).

 

Instead of taking distributions under the new ten-year rule, an EDB can stretch distributions over life, or over a period not extending beyond life expectancy, provided that such distributions commence within one year of your death, subject to certain special rules. In particular, if the EDB dies before the remaining interest is distributed under this stretch rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within ten years after the EDB’s death (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than ten years). In addition, if your minor child is an EDB, the child will cease to be an EDB on the date the child reaches the age of majority, and any remaining interest must be distributed within ten years after that date (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than ten years).

 

If your beneficiary is not an individual, such as a charity, your estate, or in some cases a trust, any remaining interest after your death generally must be distributed under prior law in accordance with the five-year rule or the at-least-as-rapidly rule, as applicable (but not the lifetime payout rule). However, if your beneficiary is a trust and all the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals, the new law may apply pursuant to special rules that treat the beneficiaries of the trust as designated beneficiaries, including special rules allowing a beneficiary of a trust who is disabled or chronically ill to stretch the distribution of their interest over their life or life expectancy in some cases. You should consult a professional tax adviser about the federal income tax consequences of your beneficiary designations, particularly if a trust is involved.

 

PRO.109622-20

41

 

 


 

More generally, the new law applies if you die after 2019, subject to several exceptions. In particular, if you are an employee under a governmental plan, such as a governmental 457(b) plan, the new law applies to your interest in that plan if you die after 2021. In addition, if your plan is maintained pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements, the new law generally applies to your interest in that plan if you die after 2021 (unless the collective bargaining agreements terminate earlier).

 

In addition, the new post-death distribution requirements generally do not apply if the employee died prior to January 1, 2020. However, if the designated beneficiary of the deceased employee dies after January 1, 2020, any remaining interest must be distributed within ten years of the designated beneficiary’s death. Hence, this ten-year rule generally will apply to a contract issued prior to 2020 which continues to be held by a designated beneficiary of an employee who died prior to 2020.

 

It is important to note that under prior law, annuity payments that commenced under a method that satisfied the distribution requirements while the employee was alive could continue to be made under that method after the death of the employee. Under the new law, however, if you commence taking distributions in the form of an annuity that can continue after your death, such as in the form of a joint and survivor annuity or an annuity with a guaranteed period of more than ten years, any distributions after your death that are scheduled to be made beyond the applicable distribution period imposed under the new law might need to be accelerated at the end of that period (or otherwise modified after your death if permitted under federal tax law and by us) in order to comply with the new post-death distribution requirements.

 

Certain transition rules may apply. Please consult your tax adviser.

 

Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. Under the new law, as under prior law, if your beneficiary is your spouse, your surviving spouse can delay the application of the post-death distribution requirements until after your surviving spouse’s death by transferring the remaining interest tax-free to your surviving spouse’s own IRA.

 

The post-death distribution requirements are complex and unclear in numerous respects. The Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of the Treasury have issued very little guidance on the new law. In addition, the manner in which these requirements will apply will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. You may wish to consult a professional tax adviser for tax advice as to your particular situation.

 

Withholding

 

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

 

401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), 457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans of Governmental Employers. Generally, eligible rollover distributions from these plans are subject to a 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.

 

457(b) Plans of Non–Governmental Employers. All distributions from this plan, except death benefit proceeds, are subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding as wages. Death benefit proceeds are not subject to income tax withholding.  

 

IRAs and Roth IRAs. Generally, you or, if applicable, a designated beneficiary may elect not to have tax withheld from distributions. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer identification number, if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is incorrect, or if the payment is made outside of the U.S. 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.

 

Non–resident Aliens. If you or your designated beneficiary is a non–resident alien, withholding will generally be 30% based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and tax treaty status.

 

PRO.109622-20

In–Plan Roth Rollovers

 

Tax Code Section 401(k), 403(b) and governmental 457(b) plans may add a “qualified Roth contribution program,” under which employees can forego the current exclusion from gross income for elective deferrals, in exchange for the future exclusion of the distribution of the deferrals and any earnings thereon. That is, participants may elect to make non–excludable contributions to “designated Roth accounts” (instead of making excludable contributions) – and to exclude from gross income (if certain conditions are met) distributions from these accounts (instead of having distributions included in gross income).

 

If permitted under the plan for which the contract is issued and provided the plan offers an applicable Roth account (a Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) or Roth 457(b) account), non–Roth amounts may be rolled over into a corresponding Roth account within the same plan. The Tax Code provides that, generally, an in–plan rollover to a Roth account is taxable and includable in gross income in the year the rollover occurs, just as if the amount were distributed and not rolled into a qualified account. Please note that in–plan rollovers into a Roth account are not subject to withholding.  Consequently, an individual considering such a transaction may want to increase their tax withholding or make an estimated tax payment in the year of the rollover.  Amounts rolled over into an in–plan Roth account cannot subsequently be converted back into a non–Roth account. 

 

A partial or full distribution of in–plan Roth rollover amounts and earnings credited on those amounts (or of purchase payments made by salary reduction to a Roth account and earnings credited on those purchase payments, as described above) will be excludable from income if it is a qualified distribution as defined in the “Qualified Distributions – Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) and Roth 457(b)” section above.

 

In–plan Roth rollovers are not subject to the 10% additional tax on early distributions under Tax Code Section 72(t) that would normally apply to distributions from a 401(k) or 403(b) plan (or from a governmental 457(b) plan to the extent such amounts are attributable to rollovers from a 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) or 403(b) plan). However, a special recapture rule applies when a plan distributes any part of the in–plan Roth rollover within a five–year taxable period, making the distribution subject to the 10% additional tax on early distributions under Tax Code Section 72(t) unless an exception to this tax applies or the distribution is allocable to any nontaxable portion of the in–plan Roth rollover. The five–year taxable period begins January 1 of the year of the in–plan Roth rollover and ends on the last day of the fifth year of the period. This special recapture rule does not apply when the participant rolls over the distribution to another designated Roth account or to a Roth IRA but does apply to a subsequent distribution from the rolled over account or Roth IRA within the five–year taxable period.

 

Due to administrative complexity, certain in–plan Roth rollovers may not be available through the contract. Additionally, the tax rules associated with Roth accounts and in–plan Roth rollovers can be complex and you should seek tax and/or legal advice regarding your particular situation.

 

Assignment and Other Transfers

 

401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(b), Roth 403(b), 457(b) and Roth 457(b) Plans. Your beneficial interest in the contract may not be assigned or transferred to persons other than:

•      A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;

•      An alternate payee under a QDRO in accordance with Tax Code Section 414(p);

•      The Company as collateral for a loan; or

•      The enforcement of a federal income tax lien or levy.

 

IRAs and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under this contract 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 tax and/or legal adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

 

PRO.109622-20

43

 

 


 

Same–Sex Marriages

 

The contract provides that upon your death a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the contract’s death benefit and any joint–life coverage under a living benefit.  All contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. U.S. Treasury Department regulations provide that for federal tax purposes, the term “spouse” does not include individuals (whether of the opposite sex or the same sex) who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of the state where the relationship was entered into, regardless of domicile. As a result, if a beneficiary of a deceased owner and the owner were parties to such a relationship, the beneficiary will be required by federal tax law to make distributions from the contract in the manner applicable to non-spouse beneficiaries and will not be able to continue the contract. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser for further information about this subject.

 

Possible Changes in Taxation

 

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

 

Taxation of the 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. Because we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in the tax laws and/or in 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 a 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 contract value invested in the subaccounts.

 

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we may claim certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment company assets, including separate account assets, which are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits may reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass the tax benefits through to the holders of the separate account because (i) the contract owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the tax charges you pay under the contract. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.

 

 

CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION

 

General

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Voya Financial Partners, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. Voya Financial Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker–dealer with the SEC. Voya Financial Partners, LLC is also a member of FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Voya Financial Partners, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 06095–4774.

 

PRO.109622-20

We sell the contracts through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker–dealers that have entered into selling agreements with Voya Financial Partners, LLC. We refer to these broker–dealers as “distributors.” Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. is a distributor affiliated with the Company that has entered into a selling agreement with Voya Financial Partners, LLC for the sale of our variable annuity contracts.

 

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, but instead is paid by us through Voya Financial Partners, LLC. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts.

 

Compensation Arrangements. Registered representatives 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 7%. In addition to the commission paid upon receipt of a purchase payment to the contract, we may pay an additional amount, the total amount of which will not exceed 7% of the total commission paid with respect to a given purchase payment. Such additional payments will not be made upon receipt of the purchase payment, but will be paid over the same time period as the income payment option selected by the contract owner. Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, depending upon the firm’s practices. In limited circumstances, certain of these distributors may also receive compensation, overrides or reimbursement for expenses associated with the distribution of the contract. At times certain distributors may be offered an enhanced commission for a limited period of time. Commissions and other payments, when combined, could exceed 7% of total purchase 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. These other promotional incentives or payments may not be offered to all distributors, and may be limited only to Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. and other distributors affiliated with the Company.

 

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 arrangements may include commission specials, in which additional commissions may be paid in connection with purchase payments received for a limited time period, within the maximum 7.0% commission rate noted above. 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. These special compensation arrangements may also be limited only to Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. and other distributors affiliated with the Company. Any such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

 

Some personnel may receive various types of non–cash compensation as special sales incentives, including trips, and we may also pay for some personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Employees of the Company or its affiliates (including wholesaling employees) may receive more compensation when funds advised by the Company or its affiliates (“affiliated funds”) are selected by a contract holder than when unaffiliated funds are selected. Additionally, 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 management personnel meet or exceed goals for sales of the contracts, or 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 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, or which may be a flat dollar amount that varies based upon other factors including management’s ability to meet or exceed service requirements, sell new contracts or retain existing contracts, or sell additional service features such as a common remitting program.

In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, through Voya Financial Partners, LLC, we may also pay distributors additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling contracts to you and other customers. These amounts may include:

•     Marketing/distribution allowances that may be based on the percentages of purchase payments 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 purchase payments (a form of lending to registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms, such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which may be conditioned on 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 own expense;

•     Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for distributors to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;

•     Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of contracts; 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 pay 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 and/or services over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over another.

 

The names of the broker–dealer and the registered representative responsible for your contract are set forth on your application.

 

PRO.109622-20

Third Party Compensation Arrangements. Please be aware that:

•      The Company may seek to promote itself and the contracts by sponsoring or contributing to events sponsored by various associations, professional organizations and labor organizations;

•      The Company may make payments to associations and organizations, including labor organizations, which endorse or otherwise recommend the contracts to their membership. If an endorsement is a factor in your contract purchasing decision, more information on the payment arrangement, if any, is available upon your request; and

•      At the direction of the contract holder, we may make payments to the contract holder, its representatives or third party service providers intended to defray or cover the costs of plan or program related administration.

 

 

OTHER TOPICS

 

Order Processing

 

In certain circumstances, we may need to correct the pricing associated with an order that has been processed. In such circumstances, we may incur a loss or receive a gain depending upon the price of the fund when the order was executed and the price of the fund when the order is corrected.  Losses may be covered from our assets and gains that may result from such order correction will be retained by us as additional compensation associated with order processing.

 

Anti-Money Laundering

 

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti–money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current anti–money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that will allow us to verify the identity of the sponsoring organization and that contributions and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources.

 

Under our anti–money laundering program, we may require customers, and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

 

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of payments or loan repayments. 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 the payment to you.

 

Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators.

 

Our anti–money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

 

Unclaimed Property

 

Every state has some form of unclaimed property laws that impose varying legal and practical obligations on insurers and, indirectly, on contract owners, insureds, beneficiaries and other payees of proceeds. Unclaimed property laws generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed proceeds under various circumstances.

 

PRO.109622-20

Contract owners are urged to keep their own, as well as their beneficiaries’ and other payees’, information up to date, including full names, postal and electronic media addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Such updates should be communicated to Payout Services in writing at the addresses referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions:  Contacting the Company” or by calling 1–800–584–6001.

 

Cyber Security

 

Like others in our industry, we are subject to operational and information security risks resulting from "cyber–attacks", "hacking" or similar illegal or unauthorized intrusions into computer systems and networks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information.  Although we seek to limit our vulnerability to such risks through technological and other means and we rely on industry standard commercial technologies to maintain the security of our information systems, it is not possible to anticipate or prevent all potential forms of cyber–attack or to guarantee our ability to fully defend against all such attacks. In addition, due to the sensitive nature of much of the financial and similar personal information we maintain, we may be at particular risk for targeting.

 

Cyber–attacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third–party service providers may adversely affect us and your account value.  For instance, cyber–attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate AUVs, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage.  Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value.   There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your contract that result from cyber–attacks or information security breaches in the future.

 

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 NYSE is closed (except customary holidays or weekends) or when trading on the NYSE 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.

 

Payment of benefits or values may also be delayed or suspended as required by court order or any regulatory action.

 

Contract Modification

 

We may change the contract as required by federal or state law or as otherwise permitted in 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. 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 tax and/or legal adviser before transferring ownership of the contract.

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the contract, Voya Financial Partners, LLC ability to distribute the contract or upon the separate account.

 

        Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or Voya Financial Partners, LLC, is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Certain claims are asserted as class actions. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim oftentimes bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim.

 

        Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including Voya Financial Partners, LLC, periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self–regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.

 

The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating potential losses requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome for all pending litigation and regulatory matters and given the large and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

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 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.

•     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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

PRO.109622-20

50

 

 


 

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 noncallable, non–inflation adjusted Treasury Notes or Bonds maturing on or closest to the withdrawal duration date; where

(2)  The withdrawal duration date is the date (month and year) obtained when the withdrawal duration is added to the date of the withdrawal; and the

(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 noncallable, 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; or

(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:

 

Number of Years from

Contract Effective Date*

1 or more, but fewer than 2

2 or more, but fewer than 3

3 or more, but fewer than 4

4 or more, but fewer than 5

5 or more, but fewer than 6

6 or more, but fewer than 7

7 or more

 

Early Withdrawal Charge

6%

5%

4%

3%

2%

1%

0%

 

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

 

Internal Exchanges. In the case of amounts transferred from a prior contract or arrangement issued or administered by the Company or certain of its affiliates, the “Number of Years from Contract Effective Date” is calculated from the date of the first purchase payment made under the individual’s account under the prior contract or if earlier, the effective date of the individual’s account under the prior contract or arrangement. There is no surrender charge under this contract on amounts transferred or rolled over as an internal transfer when the prior contract or arrangement imposed a front end load, there was no applicable surrender charge under the prior contract, or arrangement or if the prior contract or arrangement would not have assessed a surrender charge if the money had been transferred to a contract issued by a non–affiliated company.

 

_______________________

 

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

 

PRO.109622-20

51

 

 


 

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:

•     The size and type of group of individuals to whom the contract is offered;

•     The type and frequency of administrative and sales services to be provided; or

•     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 affiliates; receiving distributions or making internal transfers from other contracts or arrangements offered 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 “FEDERAL Tax Considerations 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 calendar days following our receipt of request in good order. A lump–sum payment may be requested at any time (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.

 

At the time of death benefit election, the beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit proceeds directly by check rather than through the retained asset account draftbook feature by notifying us at the address referenced under the “Contract Overview – Questions: Contacting the Company” section of this prospectus.

 

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.

 

Death Benefit Amount. If you elect a right to withdraw, the death benefit value will be determined as described under “Withdrawal” 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 of proof of death acceptable to us and a request for payment in good order.

APPENDIX III

 

CALCULATION OF PRESENT VALUE OF REMAINING
GUARANTEED VARIABLE OR
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

 

To the extent that the contracts allow for the full or partial withdrawal of the present value of remaining guaranteed variable or fixed income payments, the present value for each will be calculated as follows:

 

Withdrawals – Variable Income

 

The present value of remaining guaranteed variable income payments is calculated as follows:

 

Present Value = [ Units x Current Unit Value ] x Annuity Factor

 

Where Annuity Factor equals:

 

Annuity Factor = [ ( 1 – v ^ n ) / d ]  x  { 1 / [ ( 1 + i ) ^ ( b / ( 365 / m ) ) ] }

 

Notes:  [ ( 1 – v ^ n ) / d ] is the present value of $1 / mode with the first payment due immediately.

 

{ 1 / [ ( 1 + i ) ^ ( b / ( 365 / m ) ) ] } is a discount factor representing the time value difference between the first payment being due immediately and the actual number of days before the first payment is due.

 

Where:

 

i = [( 1 + AIR ) ^ ( 1 / mode )] – 1

v = 1 / ( 1 + i )

d = i / ( 1 + i )

n = number of remaining guaranteed payments

m = number of payments per year (mode)

b = days until the next scheduled payment

 

This is calculated for each fund held and summed for a total present value amount.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRO.109622-20

58

 

 


 

Withdrawals – Fixed Income

 

The present value of remaining guaranteed fixed income payments is calculated as follows:

 

Present Value = Fixed Benefit x Annuity Factor

 

Where Annuity Factor equals:

 

Annuity Factor = [ ( 1 – v ^ n ) / d ]  x  { 1 / [ ( 1 + i ) ^ ( b / ( 365 / m ) ) ] }

 

Notes:  [ ( 1 – v ^ n ) / d ] is the present value of $1 / mode with the first payment due immediately.

 

            { 1 / [ ( 1 + i ) ^ ( b / ( 365 / m ) ) ] } is a discount factor representing the time value difference between the first payment being due immediately and the actual number of days before the first payment is due.

 

Where:

 

i = [( 1 + adjusted contract rate ) ^ ( 1 / mode )] – 1

v = 1 / ( 1 + i )

d = i / ( 1 + i )

n = number of remaining guaranteed payments

m = number of payments per year (mode)

b = days until the next scheduled payment

 

Examples

 

Withdrawal (assuming variable income with one fund)

The present value of remaining guaranteed variable income payments is calculated as follows (assumes 24 remaining monthly payments will be fully withdrawn):

 

Let Units = 10 and Current Unit Value = $15,

 

Present Value = 10 x $15 x 23.1825 = $3,477.37

 

Where Annuity Factor equals:

 

[ ( 1 – 0.997137 ^ 24 ) / 0.002863 ]  x  { 1 / [ ( 1 + 0.002871 ) ^ ( 20 / ( 365 / 12 ) ) ] }

= 23.1825

 

Where:

Let AIR = 3.5%

 

i = [( 1 + 0.035 ) ^ ( 1 / 12 )] – 1 = 0.002871

v = 1 / ( 1 + 0.002871 ) = 0.997137

d = 0.002871 / ( 1 + 0.002871 ) = 0.002863

n = 24

m = 12

b = 20

 

PRO.109622-20

59

 

 


 

Withdrawals (assuming fixed income)

The present value of remaining guaranteed fixed income payments is calculated as follows (assumes 24 remaining monthly payments will be fully withdrawn) (using equivalent assumptions as the variable example to see the similarity):

 

Let Fixed Benefit = $150,

 

Present Value = $150 x 23.1825 = $3,477.37

 

Where Annuity Factor equals:

 

[ ( 1 – 0.997137 ^ 24 ) / 0.002863 ]  x  { 1 / [ ( 1 + 0.002871 ) ^ ( 20 / ( 365 / 12 ) ) ] }

= 23.1825

 

Where:

Let the Adjusted Contract Rate = 3.5%

 

i = [( 1 + 0.035 ) ^ ( 1 / 12 )] – 1 = 0.002871

v = 1 / ( 1 + 0.002871 ) = 0.997137

d = 0.002871 / ( 1 + 0.002871 ) = 0.002863

n = 24

m = 12

b = 20

Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) issues the contracts described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the contracts that are not related to the separate account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account. We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. From January 1, 2002 until August 31, 2014, the Company was known as ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

 

We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”), which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc. In May 2013, the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VOYA."

 

The Company serves as the depositor for the separate account.

 

Other than the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge, if any, 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.

 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C

 

Variable Annuity Account C is a separate account established by the Company for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. The separate account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Purchase payments to accounts under the contract may be allocated to one or more of the subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in the shares of only one of the funds offered under the contract. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available investment options as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the contract. The availability of the funds is subject to applicable regulatory authorization. Not all funds are available in all jurisdictions, under all contracts, or under all plans.

 

A complete description of each of the funds, including their investment objectives, policies, risks and fees and expenses, is contained in each fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

 

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACT

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Voya Financial Partners, LLC serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. Voya Financial Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. Voya Financial Partners, LLC is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Voya Financial Partners, 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 Voya Financial Partners, LLC or of other registered broker-dealers who have entered into sales arrangements with Voya Financial Partners, 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 section entitled “Contract Purchase and Participation.”

Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, Voya Financial Partners, LLC, for the years ending December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $54,558,355.73, $54,251,364.57 and $53,079,777.93, respectively. These amounts reflect compensation paid to Voya Financial Partners, LLC attributable to regulatory and operating expenses associated with the distribution of all registered variable annuity products issued by Variable Annuity Account C of the Company.

 

INCOME PAYMENTS

 

Your variable income payments will fluctuate as the annuity unit value(s) (“AUV”) fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected subaccount(s). The first income payment and subsequent income payments also vary depending upon the assumed annual net return rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Currently only 3.5% assumed annual net return rate is available. Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first income payment, but payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an annual basis. Income payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first income payment, but subsequent income payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

 

A fixed number of annuity units (“Annuity Units”) are determined in each of the designated subaccounts on the contract effective date. When you select variable income payments, your account value purchases Annuity Units of the separate account subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The number of Annuity Units purchased is based on your account value and the value of each unit on the day the Annuity Units are purchased. The number of Annuity Units, which generally does not change thereafter, is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) is the amount of the income payment as if the payment was calculated as of the contract effective date, and (b) is the AUV for that investment option on the contract effective date. The first payment will be calculated as of the 10th valuation before the payment due date, which depends upon the payment frequency you have selected. As noted above, AUV fluctuate from one valuation to the next (see “Calculating Variable Income Payments” in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the applicable subaccount(s) (with a 10 valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a mathematical adjustment which offsets the assumed annual net return 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 each subaccount selected.

 

EXAMPLE:

Assume that you purchase a single premium immediate annuity contract with a $50,000 premium. The payment option that you select has a payment factor of $6.68 per $1,000 of value applied. Also assume that no premium tax charge is payable.

 

If a payment was determined as of the contract effective date, that payment would be calculated by multiplying $6.68 per $1,000 by 50.000. This would produce an initial payment of $334.00.

 

Assume that the value of the Annuity Unit on the contract effective date is 13.400000. The payment calculated as of the contract effective date is divided by the AUV to determine the number of Annuity Units (that is, $334.00/13.400000 = 24.925 Annuity Units). The number of Annuity Units will generally remain constant over the term of your contract as determined by the income payment option you select. The value of each payment will be determined on the 10th valuation before the payment due date by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by that date’s AUV.

 

Payments will subsequently fluctuate depending upon the net investment performance that occurs between payment valuation dates less a factor that represents the assumed annual net return rate. This offsets the assumed annual net return rate built into the number of Annuity Units determined above.

 

AUVs are calculated on a daily basis by multiplying the AUV by the daily net return factor and by a factor to reflect the daily assumed annual net return rate. The factor for a 3.5% assumed annual net return rate is 0.9999058 and for 5.0% is 0.9998663. The new payment is calculated by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the new AUV.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

 

We may illustrate the hypothetical values of income payments made from each of the subaccounts over certain periods of time based on historical net asset values of the funds. These numbers will reflect the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge (if any), any applicable guaranteed minimum income charge and the advisory fees and other expenses of the funds.

 

We may also advertise different types of historical performance for the subaccounts including:

•      Standardized average annual total returns; and

•      Non-standardized average annual total returns.

 

We may also advertise certain ratings, rankings or other information related to the Company, the subaccounts or the funds.

 

Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate standardized average annual total returns according to a formula prescribed by the SEC.

 

This shows the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the subaccount over the most recent month-end, one, five and 10-year periods. If the investment option was not available for the full period, we give a history from the date money was first received in that option under the separate account or from the date the fund was first available under the separate account. As an alternative to providing the most recent month-end performance, we may provide a phone number, website or both where these returns may be obtained. Standardized average annual returns reflect deduction of all recurring charges during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk charges, administrative expense charges (if any), any applicable guaranteed minimum income charges and any applicable early withdrawal charges).

 

Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized average annual total returns in a similar manner as that stated above, except we may include returns that do not reflect the deduction of any applicable early withdrawal charges. If we reflected these charges in the calculation, they would decrease the level of performance reflected by the calculation. Non-standardized returns may also include performance from the fund’s inception date, if that date is earlier than the one we use for standardized returns.

 

SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING

 

We may illustrate the hypothetical values of income payments made from each of the subaccounts over certain time periods based on the historical net asset values of the funds. We may also advertise returns based on other fee schedules that apply to a particular contract holder. These fee schedules may result in higher returns than those shown.

 

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

 

We may publish in advertisements and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as Duff & Phelps, 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, Inc. and Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. which rank variable annuity or life subaccounts or their underlying funds by performance and/or investment objective. 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 categorize funds in terms of the asset classes they represent and use such categories in marketing materials for the contracts. We may also show in advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at various intervals. From time to time, we will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other publications or reports such as The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials, information on various topics of interest to current and prospective contract holders. 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, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparison between the contracts and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Contract Owners of Variable Annuity Account C of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Variable Annuity Account C of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

[Ernst & Young LLP signature or /s/ Ernst & Young LLP]

We have served as the Separate Accounts Auditor since 2001.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C OF

VOYA RETIREMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

Variable Annuity Account C of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Account”) was established by (“VRIAC” or the “Company”) to support the operations of variable annuity contracts (“Contracts”). The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya Financial”), a holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware.

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, which together with its subsidiaries, including the Company, was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale of common stock by Voya Financial, Inc. and the sale of shares of common stock owned indirectly by ING. Between October 2013 and March 2015, ING completed the sale of its remaining shares of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. in a series of registered public offerings.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. VRIAC provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed account (an investment option in the Company’s general account), as directed by the contract owners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business VRIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of VRIAC. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of VRIAC.

At December 31, 2019, the Account had 315 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 170 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 145 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, Voya Investments, LLC (“VIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (“the Trusts”).

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of VRIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to contract owners. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contract owners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of VRIAC, and

226


 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C OF

VOYA RETIREMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements

no charge is being made to the Account for federal income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal income taxes. Uncertain tax positions are assessed at the parent level on a consolidated basis, including taxes of the operations of the Separate Account.

Contract Owner Reserves

The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the contract owners invested in the Account Divisions. Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return is elected by the annuitant and may vary from 3.5% to 5.0%. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contract owners exceed their account values, VRIAC will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to VRIAC. Prior to the annuitization date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from principal transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to contract owner activity, including deposits, surrenders and withdrawals, death benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from) VRIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by VRIAC).

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated all events occurring after December 31, 2019 through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the spread of the COVID-19 virus caused significant financial market volatility, economic uncertainty, and interruptions to normal business activities. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the full impact to the Account is unknown, but could be material, since the outbreak is still evolving and thus there is significant uncertainty as to its ultimate impacts on the Account.

3. Financial Instruments

The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies 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 assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2019 based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. There were no transfers among the levels for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2019.

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

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

      The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with
      sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
  • Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable

      either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level
      2 inputs include the following:
      a. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
      b. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
      c. Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and
      d. Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
  • Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable

      and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether
    derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not
      widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or
      liability.

    4. Charges and Fees

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

    Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

    VRIAC 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 1.75% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

    Asset Based Administrative Charges

    A charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at annual rates of up to 0.25% of the assets attributable to the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

    Contract Maintenance Charges

    An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $75 may be deducted from the accumulation value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contract. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

    Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

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

    Other Contract Charges

    Certain Contracts contain optional riders that are available for an additional charge, such as minimum guaranteed withdraw benefits. The amounts charged for these optional benefits vary based on a number of factors and are defined in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

    Under the Fixed/Variable Premium Immediate Annuity contract, an additional annual charge of 1.00% of the average daily net asset value is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contract owners who select the Guaranteed Minimum Income feature. For certain Contracts, an annual charge up to 1.00% of the average daily net asset value is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contract owners who select the Transfer Asset Benefit

    option, as specified in the Contract. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

    Fees Waived by VRIAC

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

    5. Related Party Transactions

    On or about May 1, 2017, VIL was appointed investment adviser for these certain additional U.S registered investment companies previously managed by Directed Services LLC ("DSL"), which in turn caused DSL and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC") to terminate a separate intercompany agreement dated as of December 22, 2010 between DSL and VRIAC by which DSL had paid a portion of the revenue DSL earned as investment adviser.

    Management fees were also paid to VIL, an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to the Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Equity Trust, Voya Funds Trust, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Investors Trust, Voya Money Market Portfolio, Voya Mutual Funds, Voya Partners, Inc., Voya Series Fund, Inc., Voya Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., and Voya Variable Products Trust. The Trusts’ advisory agreements provide for fees at annual rates ranging from 0.20% to 1.25% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of
    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company

    Opinion on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Voya Retirement Insurance andAnnuity Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    Basis for Opinion

    These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public CompanyAccounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

    Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    /s/ Ernst & Young LLP

    We have served as the Company's auditor since 2001.

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

    Business

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC") is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the State of Connecticut. VRIAC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") provide financial products and services in the United States. VRIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and in the District of Columbia and in Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

    Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. ("Voya Financial"), together with its subsidiaries, including the Company was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING Group" or "ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale of common stock by Voya Financial, Inc. and the sale of shares of common stock owned indirectly by ING Group. Between October 2013 and March 2015, ING Group completed the sale of its remaining shares of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. in a series of registered public offerings.

    VRIAC is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc. ("Parent"), which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc.

    Effective December 31, 2019, VRIAC’s sole shareholder, Voya Holdings, Inc., transferred ownership of Voya Institutional Plan Services, LLC (“VIPS”) and Voya Retirement Advisors, LLC (“VRA”) to VRIAC for no cash consideration. VIPS and VRA provide retirement recordkeeping and investment advisory services, respectively, and the transfer was made to more closely align recordkeeping and related activities of VRIAC’s retirement business. It also had the effect of reducing VRIAC's tax liability. This transaction was accounted for under the accounting guidance for transactions under common control which requires that financial statements reflect the transferred business for all prior periods as if the transfer occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. As such, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the transfer of VIPS and VRA to VRIAC as of January 1, 2017. The related impact to the previously reported Net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was a decrease in net income of $50 and $95, respectively. In addition to these non-insurance subsidiaries, VRIAC also has the wholly-owned owned non-insurance subsidiary, Voya Financial Partners, LLC ("VFP").

    On December 18, 2019, VRIAC’s ultimate parent, Voya Financial, entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Resolution MTA”) with Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc. (“Resolution Life US”), pursuant to which Resolution Life US will acquire Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (“SLD”), Security Life of Denver International Limited (“SLDI”) and Roaring River II, Inc. ("RRII") including several subsidiaries of SLD. The transaction is expected to close by September 30, 2020 and is subject to conditions specified in the Resolution MTA, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals.

    Concurrently with the sale, SLD will enter into reinsurance agreements with Reliastar Life Insurance Company ("RLI"), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RLNY”), and VRIAC, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial. Pursuant to these agreements, RLI and VRIAC will reinsure to SLD a 100% quota share, and RLNY will reinsure to SLD a 75% quota share, of their respective individual life insurance and annuities businesses. RLI, RLNY, and VRIAC will remain subsidiaries of Voya Financial. We currently expect that these reinsurance transactions will be carried out on a coinsurance basis, with SLD’s reinsurance obligations collateralized by assets in trust. The reinsurance agreements along with the sale of the legal entities noted above (referred to as the "Individual Life Transaction") will result in the disposition of substantially all of Voya Financial's life insurance and legacy non-retirement annuity businesses and related assets. Pursuant to the Individual Life Transaction, VRIAC's reserves related to legacy non-retirement annuity business as well as pension risk transfer products will be ceded to SLD and related assets will be transferred.

    On June 1, 2018, VRIAC's ultimate parent, Voya Financial, consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the "2018 Transaction'') pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated December 20, 2017 (the "2018 MTA") with VA Capital Company LLC ("VA Capital") and Athene Holding Ltd. ("Athene"). As part of the 2018 Transaction, VA Capital's wholly owned subsidiary Venerable Holdings Inc. ("Venerable") acquired certain of Voya Financial's assets, including all of the shares of capital stock of Voya Insurance and Annuity Company ("VIAC"), the Company's Iowa-domiciled insurance affiliate, as well as the membership

    interests of DSL, the Company's former broker-dealer subsidiary. Following the closing of the 2018 Transaction, VRIAC acquired a 9.99% equity interest in VA Capital.

    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, 457 and 501, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans and related services. The Company's products are offered primarily to public and private school systems, higher education institutions, hospitals and healthcare facilities, not-for-profit organizations, state and local governments, small to mid-sized corporations and individuals. The Company also provides stable value investment options, including separate account guaranteed investment contracts (e.g., GICs) and synthetic GICs, to institutional clients. Pension risk transfer group annuity solutions were previously offered to institutional plan sponsors who needed to transfer their defined benefit plan obligations to the Company. The Company discontinued sales of these solutions in late 2016 to better align business activities to the Company's priorities. This business will be transferred as part of the Individual Life Transaction described above. The Company's products are generally distributed through independent brokers and advisors, third-party administrators, consultants, and representatives associated with Voya Financial's broker-dealer and investment advisor, Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. ("VFA").

    Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (i.e., payout) annuity contracts. The Company's products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services, participant education, and retirement readiness planning tools along with a variety of investment options, including proprietary and non-proprietary 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., 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. Stable value products are also provided to institutional plan sponsors where the Company may or may not be providing other employer sponsored products and services.

    The Company has one operating segment.

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

    The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of VRIAC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, VFP, VIPS, VRA and DSL (prior to June 1, 2018). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

    Significant Accounting Policies

    Estimates and Assumptions

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates.

    The Company has identified the following accounts and policies as the most significant in that they involve a higher degree of judgment, are subject to a significant degree of variability and/or contain significant accounting estimates:

    • Reserves for future policy benefits;

    • Deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and value of business acquired ("VOBA");

    • Valuation of investments and derivatives;

    • Impairments;

    • Income taxes; and

    • Contingencies.

    Fair Value Measurement

    The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability, which may include inherent risk, restrictions on the sale or use of an asset, or nonperformance risk, including the Company's own credit risk. The estimate of fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability ("exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or the most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market, for that asset or liability. The Company uses a number of valuation sources to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities, including quoted market prices, third-party commercial pricing services, third-party brokers, industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs, and other internal modeling techniques based on projected cash flows.

    Investments

    The accounting policies for the Company's principal investments are as follows:

    Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities: Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01 "Financial Instruments-Overall (ASC Subtopic 825-10):Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01") (See the Adoption of New Pronouncements section below). As a result, the Company measures its equity securities at fair value and recognizes any changes in fair value in net income. Prior to adoption, equity securities were designated as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

    The Company's fixed maturities are currently designated as available-for-sale, except those accounted for using the fair value option ("FVO"). Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI and presented net of related changes in DAC, VOBA and Deferred income taxes. In addition, certain fixed maturities have embedded derivatives, which are reported with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    The Company has elected the FVO for certain of its fixed maturities to better match the measurement of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), primarily interest-only and principal-only strips, are accounted for as hybrid instruments and valued at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities, excluding private placements, are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date. Investment gains and losses on sales of securities are generally determined on a first-in-first-out ("FIFO") basis.

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

    Included within fixed maturities are loan-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and asset-backed securities ("ABS"). Amortization of the premium or discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single-class and multi-class mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and ABS are estimated by management using inputs obtained from third-party specialists, including broker-dealers, and based on management's knowledge of the current market. For prepayment-sensitive securities such as interest-only and principal-only strips, inverse floaters and credit-sensitive MBS and ABS securities, which represent beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not of high credit quality or that have been credit impaired, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other MBS and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis.

    Short-term Investments: Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase. These investments are stated at fair value.

    C-12

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Assets Held in Separate Accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. The underlying investments include mutual funds, short-term investments, cash and fixed maturities.

    Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs and allowance for losses. If a mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to the lower of either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan's original purchase yield, or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Property obtained from foreclosed mortgage loans is recorded in Other investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Mortgage loans are evaluated by the Company's investment professionals, including an appraisal of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis throughout the year. The Company's review includes submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items. This review evaluates whether the properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

    Mortgages are rated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk. Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or interest. The Company defines delinquent mortgage loans consistent with industry practice as 60 days past due.

    Commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when 90 days in arrears if the Company has concerns regarding the collectability of future payments, or if a loan has matured without being paid off or extended. Factors considered may include conversations with the borrower, loss of major tenant, bankruptcy of borrower or major tenant, decreased property cash flow, number of days past due, or various other circumstances. Based on an assessment as to the collectability of the principal, a determination is made either to apply against the book value or apply according to the contractual terms of the loan. Funds recovered in excess of book value would then be applied to recover expenses, impairments, and then interest. Accrual of interest resumes after factors resulting in doubts about collectability have improved.

    The Company records an allowance for probable losses incurred on non-impaired loans on an aggregate basis, rather than specifically identified probable losses incurred by individual loan.

    Policy Loans: Policy loans are carried at an amount equal to the unpaid balance. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned in Net investment income using the contractually agreed upon interest rate. Generally, interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as these loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the account value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the policy.

    Limited Partnerships/Corporations: The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in limited partnership interests, which consists primarily of private equities and hedge funds. Generally, the Company records its share of earnings using a lag methodology, relying on the most recent financial information available, generally not to exceed three months. The Company's earnings from limited partnership interests accounted for under the equity method are recorded in Net investment income.

    Securities Lending: The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions, through a lending agent, for short periods of time. The Company has the right to approve any institution with whom the lending agent transacts on its behalf. Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. The lending agent retains the collateral and invests it in short-term liquid assets on behalf of the Company. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. The lending agent indemnifies the Company against losses resulting from the failure of a counterparty to return securities pledged where collateral is insufficient to cover the loss.

    Impairments

    The Company evaluates its available-for-sale general account investments quarterly to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. This evaluation process entails considerable judgment and estimation. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer's financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes and changes in ratings of the security. An extended and severe unrealized loss position on a fixed maturity may not have any impact on: (a) the ability of the issuer to service all scheduled interest and principal payments and (b) the evaluation of recoverability of all contractual cash flows or the ability to recover an amount at least equal to its amortized cost based on the present value of the expected future cash flows to be collected.

    When assessing the Company's intent to sell a security, or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow or capital needs.

    When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, and the fair value has declined below amortized cost ("intent impairment"), the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value, and a corresponding charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). If the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected to be collected ("credit impairment") and the amount related to other factors ("noncredit impairment"). The credit impairment is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss).

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

    • When determining collectability and the period over which the value is expected to recover for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, the Company applies the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates information regarding the specific security, the industry and geographic area in which the issuer operates and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from the Company's best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes, after giving consideration to a variety of variables that includes, but is not limited to: general payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the scheduled interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.

    • Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities, such as subprime, Alt-A, non-agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS. These additional factors for structured securities include, but are not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral; expected prepayment speeds; loan-to-value ratios; debt service coverage ratios; current and forecasted loss severity; consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security; and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.

    • When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, the Company considers the estimated fair value as the recovery value when availableinformationdoes notindicatethat anothervalueis more appropriate.Wheninformationis identifiedthat indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, the Company considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates available information and the Company's best estimate of scenario-based outcomes regarding the specific security and issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates; and the overall macroeconomic conditions.

    • The Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis comparing the current amortized cost of a security to the present value of future cash flows expected to be received, including estimated defaults and prepayments. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity prior to impairment.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    In periods subsequent to the recognition of the credit related impairment components of OTTI on a fixed maturity, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted into Net investment income over the remaining term of the fixed maturity in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.

    Derivatives

    The Company's use of derivatives is limited mainly to economic hedging to reduce the Company's exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, exchange rate risk and market risk. It is the Company's policy not to offset amounts recognized for derivative instruments and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

    The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default and currency contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, caps, floors and options, to reduce and manage various risks associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated with a referenced asset, index or pool. The Company also utilizes options and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products. Derivative contracts are reported as Derivatives assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge as either (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk ("fair value hedge") or (b) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows that is attributable to interest rate risk to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"). In this documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method that will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship.

    • Fair Value Hedge: For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as impacted by the hedged item.

    • Cash Flow Hedge: For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is reported as a component of AOCI. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings, and are reported in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as impacted by the hedged item.

    When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at its estimated fair value, with subsequent changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in Other net realized capital gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the changes in estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item.

    When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date, or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in Other net realized capital gains (losses). Derivative gains

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    and losses recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized immediately in Other net realized capital gains (losses).

    The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturities and has issued certain annuity products that contain embedded derivatives for which fair value is at least partially determined by levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets or credit ratings/spreads. Embedded derivatives within fixed maturities are included with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives within certain annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    In addition, the Company has entered into coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance arrangements, accounted for under the deposit method, that contain embedded derivatives, the fair value of which is based on the change in the fair value of the underlying assets held in trust. The embedded derivatives within the reinsurance agreements are reported in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners/policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and other highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments and debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

    Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

    DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization and interest. Capitalized costs are incremental, direct costs of contract acquisition and certain other costs related directly to successful acquisition activities. Such costs consist principally of commissions, underwriting, sales and contract issuance and processing expenses directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal business. Indirect or unsuccessful acquisition costs, maintenance, product development and overhead expenses are charged to expense as incurred. VOBA represents the outstanding value of in-force business acquired and is subject to amortization and interest. The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the insurance contracts at the time of the acquisition and increased for subsequent deferrable expenses on purchased policies. DAC and VOBA are adjusted for the impact of unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments, as if such gains (losses) have been realized, with corresponding adjustments included in AOCI.

    Amortization Methodologies

    The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits. Assumptions as to mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, fee income, returns associated with separate account performance, impact of hedge performance, expenses to administer the business and certain economic variables, such as inflation, are based on the Company's experience and overall capital markets. At each valuation date, estimated gross profits are updated with actual gross profits, and the assumptions underlying future estimated gross profits are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Adjustments to estimated gross profits require that amortization rates be revised retroactively to the date of the contract issuance ("unlocking").

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

    Internal Replacements

    Contract owners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract. These transactions are identified as internal replacements. Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged

    C-16


     

    Table of Contents

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    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 VOBArelated to the replaced contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts. Internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net amortization of Deferred policy acquisition costs and Value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Assumptions

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

    Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of gross profits associated with the Company's variable products. One significant assumption is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. The Company uses a reversion to the mean approach, which assumes that the market returns over the entire mean reversion period are consistent with a long-term level of equity market appreciation. The Company monitors market events and only changes the assumption when sustained deviations are expected. This methodology incorporates a 9% long-term equity return assumption, a 14% cap and a five-year look-forward period.

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

    Contract Costs Associated with Certain Financial Services Contracts

    Contract cost assets represent costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a non-insurance contract that are expected to be recovered and, thus, have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Capitalized contract costs include incremental costs of obtaining a contract and fulfillment costs that relate directly to a contract and generate or enhance resources of the Company that are used to satisfy performance obligations.

    Capitalized contract costs are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and costs expensed as incurred are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, contract cost assets were $109 and $105, respectively. Capitalized contract costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the contracts, which typically range from 5 to 15 years. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amortization expenses of $23 and $22, respectively, were recorded in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impairment loss in relation to the contract costs capitalized.

    Future Policy Benefits and Contract Owner Account Balances

    Future Policy Benefits

    The Company establishes and carries actuarially-determined reserves that are calculated to meet its future obligations, including estimates of unpaid claims and claims that the Company believes have been incurred but have not yet been reported as of the balance sheet date. The principal assumptions used to establish liabilities for future policy benefits are based on Company experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. These assumptions include mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, contract renewal, payment of subsequent premiums or deposits by the contract owner, retirement, investment returns, inflation, benefit utilization and expenses. Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company's reserve levels and related results of operations.

    Reserves for payout contracts with life contingencies are equal to the present value of expected future payments. Assumptions as to interest rates, mortality and expenses are based on the Company's estimates of anticipated experience at the period the policy

    C-17


     

    Table of Contents

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    is sold or acquired, including a provision for adverse deviation. Such assumptions generally vary by annuity plan type, year of issue and policy duration. Interest rates used to calculate the present value of future benefits ranged from 2.7% to 6.6%.

    Although assumptions are "locked-in" upon the issuance of payout contracts with life contingencies, significant changes in experience or assumptions may require the Company to provide for expected future losses on a product by establishing premium deficiency reserves. Premium deficiency reserves are determined based on best estimate assumptions that exist at the time the premium deficiency reserve is established and do not include a provision for adverse deviation.

    Contract Owner Account Balances

    Contract owner account balances relate to investment-type contracts, as follows:

    • Account balances for funding agreements with fixed maturities are calculated using the amount deposited with the Company, less withdrawals, plus interest accrued to the ending valuation date. Interest on these contracts is accrued by a predetermined index, plus a spread or a fixed rate, established at the issue date of the contract.

    • Account balances for fixed annuities and payout contracts without life contingencies are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon. Credited interest rates vary by product and ranged up to 5.7% for the year 2019, and 5.3% for the years 2018 and 2017. Account balances for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

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

    Product Guarantees and Additional Reserves

    The Company calculates additional reserve liabilities for certain variable annuity guaranteed benefits and variable funding products. The Company periodically evaluates its estimates and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company's reserve levels and related results of operations.

    GMDB: Reserves for annuity guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB") are determined by estimating the value of expected benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. Expected experience is based on a range of scenarios. Assumptions used, such as the long-term equity market return, lapse rate and mortality, are consistent with assumptions used in estimating gross profits for the purpose of amortizing DAC. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility are consistent with the historical experience of the appropriate underlying equity index, such as the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index. Reserves for GMDB are recorded in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in reserves for GMDB are reported in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners/policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    FIA: The Company issued FIA contracts that contain embedded derivatives that are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host contracts. Such embedded derivatives are recorded in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in estimated fair value, that are not related to attributed fees or premiums collected or payments made, are reported in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

    Stabilizer and MCG: Guaranteed credited rates give rise to an embedded derivative in the Stabilizer products and a stand-alone derivative for managed custody guarantee products ("MCG"). These derivatives are measured at estimated fair value and recorded in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in estimated fair value, that are not related to attributed fees collected or payments made, are reported in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    The estimated fair value of the Stabilizer embedded derivative and MCG stand-alone derivative is determined based on the present value of projected future claims, minus the present value of future guaranteed premiums. At inception of the contract, the Company projects a guaranteed premium to be equal to the present value of the projected future claims. The income associated with the contracts is projected using actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are projected under multiple capital market scenarios using observable risk-free rates and other best estimate assumptions.

    The liabilities for the FIA and Stabilizer embedded derivatives and the MCG stand-alone derivative (collectively, "guaranteed benefit derivatives") include a risk margin to capture uncertainties related to policyholder behavior assumptions. The margin represents additional compensation a market participant would require to assume these risks.

    The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the liabilities for FIA and Stabilizer embedded derivatives and the MCG stand-alone derivative includes an adjustment to reflect the risk that these obligations will not be fulfilled ("nonperformance risk").

    Separate Accounts

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

    Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contract owner or participant under a contract, in shares of mutual funds that are managed by the Company, or its affiliates, or in other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company, or its affiliates.

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

    • Such separate accounts are legally recognized;

    • Assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities;

    • Investments are directed by the contract owner or participant; and

    • All investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract owner.

    The Company reports separate account assets that meet the above criteria at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Separate account liabilities equal separate account assets. Investment income and net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the separate accounts.

    Repurchase Agreements

    The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with MBS ("dollar rolls") and repurchase agreements with other collateral types to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Such arrangements meet the requirements to be accounted for as financing arrangements.

    The Company enters into dollar roll transactions by selling existing MBS and concurrently entering into an agreement to repurchase similar securities within a short time frame at a lower price. Under repurchase agreements, the Company borrows cash from a counterparty at an agreed upon interest rate for an agreed upon time frame and pledges collateral in the form of securities. At the end of the agreement, the counterparty returns the collateral to the Company, and the Company, in turn, repays the loan amount along with the additional agreed upon interest.

    The Company's policy requires that at all times during the term of the dollar roll and repurchase agreements that cash or other collateral types obtained is sufficient to allow the Company to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. Cash received is generally invested in Short-term investments, with the offsetting obligation to repay the loan included within Payables under securities loan agreements, including collateral held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company's exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments. The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls and repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

    Recognition of Revenue

    Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits

    Premiums related to payouts contracts with life contingencies are recognized in Premiums in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when due from the contract owner. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any gross premium in excess of the net premium (i.e., the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all expected future benefits and expenses) is deferred and recognized into revenue in a constant relationship to insurance in force. Benefits are recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners/policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred.

    Amounts received as payment for investment-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and FIA contracts are reported as deposits to contract owner account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration charges and are reported in Fee income. Surrender charges are reported in Other revenue. In addition, the Company earns investment income from the investment of contract deposits in the Company's general account portfolio, which is reported in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fees assessed that represent compensation to the Company for services to be provided in future periods and certain other fees are deferred and amortized into revenue over the expected life of the related contracts in proportion to estimated gross profits in a manner consistent with DAC for these contracts. Benefits and expenses for these products include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses of contract administration and interest credited to contract owner account balances.

    Financial Services Revenue

    Revenue for various financial services is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and is recognized when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation. For advisory, recordkeeping and administration services of $405 and $422 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company recognizes revenue as services are provided, generally over time. For distribution and shareholder servicing revenue of $82 and $123 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company provides distribution services at a point in time and shareholder services over time. Contract terms are typically less than one year, and consideration is variable.

    For a description of principal activities from which the Company generates revenue, see the Business section above for further information.

    For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, such revenue represents approximately 19.7% and 22.9% respectively, of total revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, a portion of the revenue recognized in the current period from distribution services is related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Revenue for various financial services is recorded in Fee income or Other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Receivables of $97 and $95 are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

    Income Taxes

    The Company uses certain assumptions and estimates in determining (a) the income taxes payable or refundable to/from Voya Financial for the current year, (b) the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for items recognized differently in its Consolidated Financial Statements from amounts shown on its income tax returns and (c) the federal income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis and interpretation of current tax laws and regulations, including the loss limitation rules associated with change in control. Management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting income tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are reevaluated on a periodic basis and as regulatory and business factors change.

    C-20


     

    Table of Contents

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Items required by tax law to be included in the tax return may differ from the items reflected in the financial statements. As a result, the effective tax rate reflected in the financial statements may be different than the actual rate applied on the tax return. Some of these differences are permanent, such as the dividends received deduction, which is estimated using information from the prior period and current year results. Other differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as the valuation of insurance reserves, and create deferred tax assets and liabilities.

    The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

    Deferred tax assets represent the tax benefit of future deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including:

    • The nature, frequency and severity of book income or losses in recent years;

    • The nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities;

    • The recent cumulative book income (loss) position after adjustment for permanent differences;

    • Taxable income in prior carryback years;

    • Projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;

    • Projected future reversals of existing temporary differences;

    • The length of time carryforwards can be utilized;

    • Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused; and

    • Tax rules that would impact the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

    In establishing unrecognized tax benefits, the Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. The Company also considers positions that have been reviewed and agreed to as part of an examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not standard are not recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Tax positions that meet this standard are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company measures the tax position as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with the tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

    Reinsurance

    The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements in most aspects of its insurance business to reduce its exposure to large losses. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risks reinsured.

    For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk. The Company reviews contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. The assumptions used to account for long-duration reinsurance agreements are consistent with those used for the underlying contracts. Ceded Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances are reported gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Long-duration: For reinsurance of long-duration contracts that transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the amounts paid and benefits received related to the underlying contracts is included in the expected net cost of reinsurance, which is recorded as a component of the reinsurance asset or liability. Any difference between actual and expected net cost of reinsurance is recognized in the current period and included as a component of profits used to amortize DAC.

    If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are

    C-21


     

    Table of Contents

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    included in Other liabilities, and deposits made are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is recorded as Other revenues or Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit asset or liability through Other revenues or Other expenses, as appropriate.

    Accounting for reinsurance requires use of assumptions and estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to ceded and assumed reinsurance. The Company also evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of reinsurers.

    Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are recognized as assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. Amounts currently recoverable and payable under reinsurance agreements are included in Premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable and Other liabilities, respectively. Such assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer are recorded net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. Premiums, Fee income and Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners/policyholders are reported net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in Other revenue.

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

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

    Employee Benefits Plans

    The Company, in conjunction with Voya Services Company, sponsors non-qualified defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees, sales representatives and other individuals.

    A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive upon retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in respect of non-qualified defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the projected pension benefit obligation ("PBO") at the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. This liability is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The PBO is defined as the actuarially calculated present value of vested and non-vested pension benefits accrued based on future salary levels. The Company recognizes the funded status of the PBO for pension plans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Net periodic benefit cost for the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans is determined using management estimates and actuarial assumptions to derive service cost and interest cost for a particular year. The obligations and expenses associated with these plans require use of assumptions, such as discount rate and rate of future compensation increases and healthcare cost trend rates, as well as assumptions regarding participant demographics, such as age of retirements, withdrawal rates and mortality. Management determines these assumptions based on a variety of factors, such as currently available market and industry data and expected benefit payout streams. Actual results could vary significantly from assumptions based on changes, such as economic and market conditions, demographics of participants in the plans and amendments to benefits provided under the plans. These differences may have a significant effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and liquidity. Actuarial gains (losses) are immediately recognized in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Contingencies

    A loss contingency is an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Examples of loss contingencies include pending or threatened adverse litigation, threat of expropriation of assets and actual or possible claims and assessments. Amounts related to

    loss contingencies are accrued and recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, based on the Company's best estimate of the ultimate outcome.

    Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

    Long-Duration Contracts

    In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, "Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944) Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts" ("ASU 2018-12"), which changes the measurement and disclosures of insurance liabilities and deferred acquisition costs for long-duration contracts issued by insurers. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-09 to amend the effective date of ASU 2018-12 for public business entities that are required to file with the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the provisions of ASU 2018-12. While it is not possible to estimate the expected impact of adoption at this time, the Company believes there is a reasonable possibility that implementation of ASU 2018-12 may result in a significant impact on Shareholders’ equity and future earnings patterns.

    In addition to requiring significantly expanded interim and annual disclosures regarding long-duration insurance contract assets and liabilities, ASU 2018-12's provisions include modifications to the accounting for such contracts in the following areas:

    The Company invests in various categories of CMOs, including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to significant decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 48.4% and 52.5%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings, were invested in the above mentioned types of CMOs such as interest-only or principal-only strips, that are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs.

    Public corporate fixed maturity securities are distinguished from private corporate fixed maturity securities based upon the manner in which they are transacted. Public corporate fixed maturity securities are issued initially through market intermediaries on a registered basis or pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and are traded on the secondary market through brokers acting as principal. Private corporate fixed maturity securities are originally issued by borrowers directly to investors pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and are traded in the secondary market directly with counterparties, either without the participation of a broker or in agency transactions.

    Repurchase Agreements

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any securities pledged in dollar rolls, repurchase agreement transactions or reverse repurchase agreements.

    Securities Lending

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of loaned securities was $715 and $759, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    If cash is received as collateral, the lending agent retains the cash collateral and invests it in short-term liquid assets on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, cash collateral retained by the lending agent and invested in short-term liquid assets on the Company's behalf was $650 and $719, respectively, and is recorded in Short-term investments under securities loan agreements, including collateral delivered on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, liabilities to return collateral of $650 and $719, respectively, are included in Payables under securities loan agreements, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    The Company accepts non-cash collateral in the form of securities. The securities retained as collateral by the lending agent may not be sold or re-pledged, except in the event of default, and are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This collateral generally consists of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency securities and MBS pools. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of securities retained as collateral by the lending agent on the Company’s behalf was $91 and $67, respectively.

    The following table presents borrowings under securities lending transactions by asset class pledged for the dates indicated:

      December 31, 2019(1)(2) December 31, 2018(1)(2)
    U.S. Treasuries $ 109 $ 92
    U.S. corporate public securities 447 523
    Foreign corporate public securities and foreign governments 185 170
    Equity Securities 1
    Payables under securities loan agreements $ 741 $ 786

     

    (1) As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, borrowings under securities lending transactions include cash collateral of $650 and $719, respectively. (2) As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, borrowings under securities lending transactions include non-cash collateral of $91 and $67, respectively.

    The Company's securities lending activities are conducted on an overnight basis, and all securities loaned can be recalled at any time. The Company does not offset assets and liabilities associated with its securities lending program.

    Variable Interest Entities

    The Company holds certain VIEs for investment purposes. VIEs may be in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, or limited partnerships. The Company has reviewed each of its holdings and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company's financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary, because the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation or right to potentially significant losses or benefits, for any of its investments in VIEs. The Company did not provide any non-contractual financial support and its carrying value represents the Company's exposure to loss. The carrying value of the investments in VIEs was $738 and $583 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively; these investments are included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and losses recognized on these investments are reported in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Securitizations

    The Company invests in various tranches of securitization entities, including RMBS, CMBS and ABS. Through its investments, the Company is not obligated to provide any financial or other support to these entities. Each of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities are thinly capitalized by design and considered VIEs. The Company's involvement with these entities is limited to that of a passive investor. The Company has no unilateral right to appoint or remove the servicer, special servicer or investment manager, which are generally viewed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the securitization entities' economic performance, in any of these entities, nor does the Company function in any of these roles. The Company, through its investments or other arrangements, does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and will not consolidate any of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities in which it holds investments. These investments are accounted for as investments available-for-sale as described in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to these Consolidated Financial Statements and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI, except for certain RMBS that are accounted for under the FVO for which changes in fair value are reflected in Other net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments is limited to the amount of its investment.

    Based on the Company's quarterly evaluation of its securities in a unrealized loss position, described below, the Company concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2019. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

    On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its available-for-sale investment portfolio to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. All available-for-sale securities with fair values less than amortized cost are included in the Company’s evaluation. Generally, for non-structured securities, management considers the estimated fair value as the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of recovery value the same consideration utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates available information and the Company’s best estimate of scenario based outcomes regarding the specific security and issuer. The Company also considers quality and amount of any credit enhancement; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates; and the overall macroeconomic conditions. For structured securities, such as non-agency RMBS, CMBS, and ABS, the Company evaluates other-than-temporary impairments based on actual and projected cash flows, after considering the quality and updated loan-to-value ratios, reflecting current home prices of the underlying collateral, forecasted loss severity, the payment priority in the tranche and any credit enhancement within the structure. In assessing credit impairment, the Company performs discounted cash flow analysis comparing the current amortized cost of a security to the present value of the expected future cash flows, including estimated defaults, and prepayments. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity prior to the impairment.

    See the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note for the policy used to evaluate whether the investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Gross unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities, including securities pledged, decreased $497 from $560 to $63 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in gross unrealized capital losses was primarily due to declining interest rates and tightening credit spreads.

    At December 31, 2019, $7 of the total $63 of gross unrealized losses were from 5 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for 12 months or greater.

    Evaluating Securities for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

    The Company performs a regular evaluation, on a security-by-security basis, of its available-for-sale securities holdings, including fixed maturity securities in accordance with its impairment policy in order to evaluate whether such investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.

    The following table identifies the Company's impairments included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding impairments included in Other comprehensive income (loss) by type for the periods indicated:

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

    Troubled Debt Restructuring

    The Company invests in high quality, well performing portfolios of commercial mortgage loans and private placements. Under certain circumstances, modifications are granted to these contracts. Each modification is evaluated as to whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. A modification is a troubled debt restructuring when the borrower is in financial difficulty and the creditor makes concessions. Generally, the types of concessions may include reducing the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reducing the contractual interest rate, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reducing accrued interest. The Company considers the amount, timing and extent of the concession granted in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (net of the specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had one new commercial mortgage loan troubled debt restructuring with a pre-modification carrying value of $2 and post-modification carrying value of $1. For year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had one new private placement troubled debt restructuring with a pre-modification cost basis of $74 and post-modification carrying value of $38. As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any new commercial mortgage loan troubled debt restructuring and had no private placement troubled debt restructuring.

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any private placements modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default. As of December 31, 2019, the company had one commercial mortgage loan modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default. As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any commercial mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default.

    Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

    The Company diversifies its commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk. The Company manages risk when originating commercial mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate. Subsequently, the Company continuously evaluates mortgage loans based on relevant current information including a review of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics and market trends. The components to evaluate debt service coverage are received and reviewed at least annually to determine the level of risk.

    Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property's net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that a property's operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above.

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $0 and $1, respectively, of investments in fixed maturities that did not produce net investment income. Fixed maturities are moved to a non-accrual status when the investment defaults.

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

    Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)

    Net realized capital gains (losses) comprise the difference between the amortized cost of investments and proceeds from sale and redemption, as well as losses incurred due to the credit-related and intent-related other-than-temporary impairment of investments. Realized investment gains and losses are also primarily generated from changes in fair value of embedded derivatives within products and fixed maturities, changes in fair value of fixed maturities recorded at FVO and changes in fair value including accruals on derivative instruments, except for effective cash flow hedges. Net realized capital gains (losses) also include changes in fair value of equity securities.The cost of the investments on disposal is generally determined based on first-in-first-out ("FIFO") methodology.

    Net realized capital gains (losses) were as follows for the periods indicated:            
          Year Ended December 31,    
        2019   2018   2017

    3. Derivative Financial Instruments

    The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:

    Interest rate caps: The Company uses interest rate cap contracts to hedge the interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate caps are also used to hedge interest rate exposure if rates rise above a specified level. Such increases in rates will require the Company to incur additional expenses. The future payout from the interest rate caps fund this increased exposure. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these caps. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made to/from the counterparty at each due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to, or received from, the counterparty at specified intervals. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Currency forwards: The Company utilizes currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure related to invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Forwards: The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain invested assets against movement in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. The Company uses To Be Announced mortgage-backed securities as an economic hedge against rate movements. The Company utilizes forward contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Futures: The Company uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge its exposure to market risks due to changes in interest rates. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margins, with the exchange, on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company may also use futures contracts as a hedge against an increase in certain equity indices.

    Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with the minimum crediting rate and book value guarantees embedded in the retirement products that the Company offers. Increases in interest rates will generate losses on assets that are backing such liabilities. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. The Company pays a premium when it purchases the swaption. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Options: The Company uses equity options to hedge against an increase in various equity indices. Such increases may result in increased payments to the holders of the FIA contracts. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these options. The Company utilizes these options in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Managed custody guarantees ("MCGs"): The Company issues certain credited rate guarantees on variable fixed income portfolios that represent stand-alone derivatives. The market value is partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in interest rates, prepayment rates and credit ratings/spreads.

    Embedded derivatives: The Company also invests in certain fixed maturity instruments and has issued certain products that contain embedded derivatives for which market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity rates, or credit ratings/ spreads. In addition, the Company has entered into coinsurance with funds withheld arrangements, which contain embedded derivatives.

    The Company's use of derivatives is limited mainly to economic hedging to reduce the Company's exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, exchange rate risk and equity market risk. It is the Company's policy not to offset amounts recognized for derivative instruments and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset.

    Based on the notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company’s derivative positions was not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting as part of a hedging relationship as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company utilizes derivative contracts mainly to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows, interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk and equity market risk. The majority of derivatives used by the Company are designated as product hedges, which hedge the exposure arising from insurance liabilities or guarantees embedded in the contracts the Company offers through various product lines. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting as they do not meet the criteria of being "highly effective" as outlined in ASC Topic 815, but do provide an economic hedge, which is in line with the Company’s risk management objectives. The Company also uses derivatives contracts to hedge its exposure to various risks associated with the investment portfolio. The Company does not seek hedge

    Collateral

    Under the terms of the OTC Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") agreements, the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties collateral to assure that terms of the ISDA agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex ("CSA"). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. To the extent cash collateral is received and delivered, it is included in Payables under securities loan agreements, including collateral held and Short-term investments under securities loan agreements, including collateral delivered, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reinvested in short-term investments. Collateral held is used in accordance with the CSA to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held $7 and delivered $55 of net cash collateral related to OTC derivative contracts and cleared derivative contracts, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held $17 and $21 of net cash collateral related to OTC derivative contracts and cleared derivative contracts, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, the Company delivered $113 of securities and held no securities as collateral. As of December 31, 2018, the Company delivered $123 of securities and held no securities as collateral.

    Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value

    Certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition in many circumstances. However, in certain cases, the transaction price may not represent fair value. The fair value of a liability is based on the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a third-party with an equal credit standing. Fair value is required to be a market-based measurement that is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, from a market participant's perspective. The Company considers three broad valuation approaches when a quoted price is unavailable: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given the instrument being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs. The Company prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation approaches and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

    The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of exit price and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. Valuations are obtained from third-party commercial pricing services, brokers and industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The Company reviews the assumptions and inputs used by third-party commercial pricing services for each reporting period in order to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level. The documentation and analysis obtained from third-party commercial pricing services are reviewed by the Company, including in-depth validation procedures confirming the observability of inputs. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades or monitoring of trading volumes.

    The valuation approaches and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are presented below.

    For fixed maturities classified as Level 2 assets, fair values are determined using a matrix-based market approach, based on prices obtained from third-party commercial pricing services and the Company’s matrix and analytics-based pricing models, which in each case incorporate a variety of market observable information as valuation inputs. The market observable inputs used for these fair value measurements, by fixed maturity asset class, are as follows:

    U.S. Treasuries: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being stripped interest and principal U.S. Treasury yield curves that represent a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon curve.

    U.S. government agencies and authorities, State, municipalities and political subdivisions: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being U.S. Treasury yield curves, trades of comparable securities, credit spreads off benchmark yields and issuer ratings.

    U.S. corporate public securities, Foreign corporate public securities and foreign governments: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being benchmark yields, trades of comparable securities, issuer ratings, bids and credit spreads off benchmark yields.

    U.S. corporate private securities and Foreign corporate private securities: Fair values are determined using a matrix and analytics-based pricing model. The model incorporates the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate credit spreads, credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. The model also considers a liquidity spread, the value of any collateral, the capital structure of the issuer, the presence of guarantees, and prices and quotes for comparably rated publicly traded securities.

    RMBS, CMBS and ABS: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being credit spreads off benchmark yields, prepayment speed assumptions, current and forecasted loss severity, debt service coverage ratios, collateral type, payment priority within tranche and the vintage of the loans underlying the security.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.

    Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades or monitoring of trading volumes.

    Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined primarily using a matrix-based pricing model and are generally classified as Level 2 assets. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees and the Company's evaluation of the borrower's ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

    Equity securities: Level 2 and Level 3 equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers.

    Derivatives: Derivatives are carried at fair value, which is determined using the Company's derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, S&P 500 Index prices, London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates. The Company uses OIS for valuations of collateralized interest rate derivatives, which are obtained from third-party sources. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third-party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company's valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company's policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company's nonperformance risk is also considered and incorporated in the Company's valuation process. The Company also has certain credit default swaps and options that are priced by third party vendors or by using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. The remaining derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

    Guaranteed benefit derivatives: The index-crediting feature in the Company's FIA contract is an embedded derivative that is required to be accounted for separately from the host contract. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.

    The Company records reserves for Stabilizer and MCG contracts containing guaranteed credited rates. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the present value of projected future claims, minus the present value of future guaranteed premiums. At inception of the contract, the Company projects a guaranteed premium to be equal to the present value of the projected future claims. The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities.

    The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives and stand-alone derivative includes an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The nonperformance risk adjustment incorporates a blend of observable, similarly rated peer holding company credit spreads, adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the Company, as well as an adjustment to reflect the non-default spreads and the priority and recovery rates of policyholder claims.

    The Company's valuation actuaries are responsible for the policies and procedures for valuing the embedded derivatives, reflecting the capital markets and actuarial valuation inputs and nonperformance risk in the estimate of the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The actuarial and capital market assumptions for each liability are approved by each product's Chief Risk Officer

    ("CRO"), including an independent annual review by the CRO. Models used to value the embedded derivatives must comply with the Company's governance policies.

    Quarterly, an attribution analysis is performed to quantify changes in fair value measurements and a sensitivity analysis is used to analyze the changes. The changes in fair value measurements are also compared to corresponding movements in the hedge target to assess the validity of the attributions. The results of the attribution analysis are reviewed by the valuation actuaries, responsible CFOs, Controllers, CROs and/or others as nominated by management.

    Embedded derivatives on reinsurance: The carrying value of embedded derivatives is estimated based upon the change in the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld payable under reinsurance agreements. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is based on market observable inputs and is classified as Level 2.

    Transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2

    There were no securities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

    Level 3 Financial Instruments

    The fair values of certain assets and liabilities are determined using prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3 as defined by ASC Topic 820), including but not limited to liquidity spreads for investments within markets deemed not currently active. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third-party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability. In addition, the Company has determined, for certain financial instruments, an active market is such a significant input to determine fair value that the presence of an inactive market may lead to classification in Level 3. In light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair values of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below.

    (3) The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

    (4) For financial instruments still held as of December 31, amounts are included in Net investment income and Total net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    (5) The investment income and realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized gains (losses) included in net income (loss) for separate account assets are offset by an equal amount for separate account liabilities, which results in a net zero impact on Net income (loss) for the Company.

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities and separate accounts were due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

    Significant Unobservable Inputs

    The Company's Level 3 fair value measurements of its fixed maturities, equity securities and equity and credit derivative contracts are primarily based on broker quotes for which the quantitative detail of the unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably corroborated, thus negating the ability to perform a sensitivity analysis. The Company performs a review of broker quotes by performing a monthly price variance comparison and back tests broker quotes to recent trade prices.

    Other Financial Instruments

    The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825 which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    6. Guaranteed Benefit Features    

     

    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, 2019 and 2018, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $40.0 billion and $37.9 billion, respectively. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $26 and $11, respectively.

    The aggregate fair value of fixed income securities and equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $8.2 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively.

    7. Reinsurance

    As of December 31, 2019, the Company has reinsurance treaties with 6 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an agreement with one of its affiliates, Security Life of Denver International ("SLDI"), which is accounted for under the deposit method of accounting. Refer to the Related Party Transactions Note for further detail.

    On October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with a subsidiary of Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash. Under the agreement, the Lincoln subsidiary contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contract owners. The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance agreement. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, related to Reinsurance recoverable from the subsidiary of Lincoln.

    Premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable was comprised of the following as of the dates indicated:

        December 31,    
      2019     2018  
    Reserves ceded and claims recoverable $ 1,304 $ 1,409
    Premiums receivable, net      
    Total $ 1,304 $ 1,409

     

    For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, premiums, net of reinsurance were $31, $41 and $48, respectively.

    8. Capital Contributions, Dividends and Statutory Information

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

    Under Connecticut insurance law, an extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10%) of VRIAC's earned statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) VRIAC's prior year statutory net gain from operations. Connecticut law also prohibits a Connecticut insurer from declaring or paying a dividend except out of its earned surplus unless prior insurance regulatory approval is obtained.

    During the year ended December 31, 2019, VRIAC declared ordinary dividends to its Parent in the aggregate amount of $396, of which $270 was paid on April 18, 2019 and $126 was paid on May 28, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, VRIAC paid an ordinary dividend in the amount of $126 to its Parent.

    On March 27, 2019, VFP paid a $20 dividend to VRIAC, its parent; on June 26, 2019, VFP paid a $20 dividend to VRIAC; on September 27, 2019, VFP paid a $20dividend to VRIAC; and on December 18, 2019, VFP paid a $20 dividend to VRIAC. During the year ended December 31, 2018, VFP paid dividends of $90 to VRIAC.

    On May 25, 2018, DSL, which was a subsidiary of VRIAC at the time, paid a $49 dividend to its then parent, VRIAC.

    During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received capital contributions of $57 and $55 from its Parent, respectively.

    The Company is subject to minimum risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements established by the Department. The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital ("TAC"), as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), to RBC requirements, as defined by the NAIC. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements that would require any regulatory or corrective action for all periods presented herein.

    The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S. GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred taxes on a different basis. Certain assets that are not admitted under statutory accounting principles are charged directly to surplus. Depending on the regulations of the Department, the entire amount or a portion of an insurance company's asset balance can be non-admitted depending on specific rules regarding admissibility. The most significant non-admitted assets of the Company are typically a portion of deferred tax assets in excess of prescribed thresholds.

    Statutory net income was $325, $377 and $195, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

    On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"). Tax Reform made broad changes to U.S. federal tax law, including, but not limited to (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) changing the computations of the dividends received deduction, tax reserves, and deferred acquisition costs; (3) eliminating the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback and limiting the NOL carryforward deduction to 80% of taxable income for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; and (4) changing how alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits can be realized. Tax Reform eliminated the corporate AMT and allows the AMT credit carryforward to be refunded over the next 4 years. Any refundable corporate AMT credit is not subject to the sequestration requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.

    Temporary Differences

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

        December 31,    
      2019     2018  
    Deferred tax assets          
    Insurance reserves $ 107 $ 74
    Investments   23     79
    Compensation and benefits   57     58
    Other assets   34     34
    Total gross assets   221     245

    Deferred policy acquisition costs   (101)     (205)
    Total gross liabilities   (525)     (250)
    Net deferred income tax asset (liability) $ (304) $ (5)

     

    Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no valuation allowance. However, the application of intra-period tax allocation rules to benefits associated with capital deferred tax assets resulted in a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $128 in continuing operations, offset by a corresponding benefit in Other comprehensive income.

    For the year ended December 31, 2019, the application of the intra-period tax allocation rules to capital deferred assets did not result in changes to the valuation allowance within continuing operations or Other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the application of the intra-period tax allocation rules to capital deferred assets resulted in an increase of $9 in the valuation allowance within continuing operations, offset by a benefit of $9 within Other comprehensive income.

    For the year ended December 31, 2017, the decrease in the valuation allowance was $5, all of which was allocated to continuing operations.

    Tax Sharing Agreement

    As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a receivable from Voya Financial of $9 and $32, respectively, for federal income taxes under the intercompany tax sharing agreement.

    The results of the Company's operations are included in the consolidated tax return of Voya Financial. Generally, the Company's consolidated financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company's activities during the current and preceding periods pursuant to the provisions of Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740) as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Voya Financial's consolidated income tax return group with the exception of any net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, which are recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement. If the Company instead were to follow a separate taxpayer approach without any exceptions, there would be no impact to income tax expense (benefit) for the periods indicated above. However, any current tax benefit related to the Company's tax attributes realized by virtue of its inclusion in the consolidated tax return of Voya Financial would have been recorded directly to equity rather than income. Under the tax sharing agreement, Voya Financial will pay the Company for the tax benefits of ordinary and capital losses only in the event that the consolidated tax group actually uses the tax benefit of losses generated.

    Unrecognized Tax Benefits

    The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

    Interest and Penalties

    The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income taxes and Income tax expense on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had no accrued interest as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

    Tax Regulatory Matters

    For the tax years 2017 through 2020, Voya Financial, Inc. participates in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP), which is a continuous audit program provided by the IRS. The IRS finalized the audit of Voya Financial, Inc. for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018. For the periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the IRS has determined that Voya Financial, Inc. would be in the Compliance Maintenance Bridge (Bridge) phase of CAP. In the Bridge phase, the IRS does not intend to conduct any review or provide any letters of assurance for the tax year.

    11. Benefit Plans

    Defined Benefit Plan

    Voya Services Company sponsors the Voya Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). Substantially all employees of Voya Services Company and its affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company's employees other than Company agents.

    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”). Beginning January 1, 2012, the Retirement Plan adopted a cash balance pension formula instead of a final average pay ("FAP") formula, allowing all eligible employees to participate in the Retirement Plan. Participants will earn an annual credit equal to 4% of eligible compensation. Interest is credited monthly based on a 30-year U.S. Treasury securities bond rate published by the Internal Revenue Service in the preceding August of each year. The accrued vested cash pension balance benefit is portable; participants can take it if they leave the Company.

    The costs allocated to the Company for its employees' participation in the Retirement Plan were $11, $11 and $12 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Defined Contribution Plan

    Voya Services Company sponsors the Voya Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"). Substantially all employees of Voya Services Company 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 ("Career Agents"). The Savings Plan is a tax qualified defined contribution 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. Voya Services Company 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. Contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. The costs allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $15, $15 and $16, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

    The Company, in conjunction with Voya Services Company, offers certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the "SERPs"). Benefit accruals under Aetna Financial Services SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001 and participants began accruing benefits under Voya Services SERPs. Benefits under the SERPs are determined based on an eligible employee's years of service and average annual compensation for the highest five years during the last ten years of employment.

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

    Effective January 1, 2012, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was amended to coordinate with the amendment of the Retirement Plan from its current final average pay formula to a cash balance formula.

    The Company, in conjunction with Voya Services Company, sponsors the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Agents Non-Qualified Plan"). This plan covers Career Agents. The Agents Non-Qualified Plan was frozen effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

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

    Obligations and Funded Status

    The following table summarizes the benefit obligations for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:

                                                                           Year Ended December 31,

      2019   2018  
    Change in benefit obligation:        
    Benefit obligation, January 1 $ 80 $ 88
    Interest cost   3   3
    Benefits paid   (5)   (7)
    Actuarial (gains) losses on obligation   4   (4)
    Benefit obligation, December 31 $ 82 $ 80

     

    Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other liabilities and in AOCI were as follows as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:

        December 31,    
      2019     2018  
    Accrued benefit cost $ (82) $ (80)
    Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):          
    Prior service cost (credit)      
    Net amount recognized $ (82) $ (80)

     

    Assumptions

    The discount rate used in the measurement of the December 31, 2019 and 2018 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

      2019   2018  
    Discount rate   3.36%   4.46%

     

    In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries, including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company's pension obligation and general movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.

    The weighted-average discount rate used in calculating the net pension cost was as follows:        
     
      2019 2018   2017  
    Discount rate 4.46%   3.85%   4.55%

     

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

    Net Periodic Benefit Costs

    Net periodic benefit costs for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

        Year Ended December 31,    
      2019   2018   2017  
    Interest cost $ 3 $ 3 $ 4
    Amortization of prior service cost (credit)   (1)     (1)
    Net (gain) loss recognition   4 (4)     1
    Net periodic (benefit) cost $ 7 $ (2) $ 4

    2020 $ 6
    2021 6
    2022 6
    2023 6
    2024 5
    2025-2029 25
     
    In 2020, the Company is expected to contribute $6 to the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.  

     

    Share Based Compensation Plans

    Certain employees of the Company participate in the 2013, 2014 and 2019 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plans ("the Omnibus Plans") sponsored by Voya Financial. The Omnibus Plans each permit the granting of a wide range of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs"), and stock options.

    The Company was allocated compensation expense from Voya Financial of $31, $29 and $30 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

    The Company recognized tax benefits of $7, $6 and $11 for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

    All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based compensation are reported in net income.

    Other Benefit Plans

    In addition, the Company, in conjunction with Voya Services Company, sponsors the following benefit plans:

    Table of Contents

    Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries (A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    • The Voya 401(k) Plan for VRIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant's pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant's eligible pay. A request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Voya 401(k) Plan for VRIAC Agents was filed with the IRS on January 1, 2014. A favorable determination letter was received dated August 28, 2014.

    • 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 postretirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually and the Company subsidizes a portion of the monthly per-participant premium. Prior to April 1, 2017, coverage for Medicare eligible retirees was provided through a fully insured Medicare Advantage plan. Effective April 1, 2017, the fully insured Medicare Advantage Plan was replaced with access to individual coverage through a private exchange. The Company's premium subsidy ended and was replaced with a monthly HRAcontribution. The Company continues to offer access to medical coverage until retirees become eligible for Medicare. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

    • The Voya Financial Deferred Compensation Savings Plan, which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that includes a 401(k) excess component.

    The benefit charges incurred by the Company related to these plans were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

    12. Financing Agreements

    Windsor Property Loan

    On June 16, 2007, the State of Connecticut acting on behalf of the Department of Economic and Community Development ("DECD") loaned VRIAC $10 (the "DECD Loan") in connection with the development of a corporate office facility located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut that serves as the principal executive offices of the Company (the "Windsor Property"). As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4, which is reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    In August 2017, the loan agreement between VRIAC and DECD was amended and $5 in cash was transferred into the cash deposit account as cash collateral. VRIAC's monthly payments of principal and interest are processed out of the cash deposit account.

    13. Commitments and Contingencies

    Leases

    All of the Company's expenses for leased and subleased office properties are paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company, as all remaining operating leases were executed by Voya Services Company as of December 31, 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, rent expense for leases was $5, $5 and $5, respectively.

    Commitments

    Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, 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. As of December 31, 2019 the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to acquire mortgage loans of $94 and purchase limited partnerships and private placement investments of $502.

    Restricted Assets

    The Company is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. The Company may also post collateral in connection with certain securities lending, repurchase agreements, funding agreement, letter of credit ("LOC") and derivative transactions as described further in this note. The components of the fair value of the restricted assets were as follows as of the dates indicated:

        December 31,    
      2019     2018  
    Fixed maturity collateral pledged to FHLB(1) $ 1,087 $ 771
    FHLB restricted stock(2)   44     40

    Cash and cash equivalents   5     5
    Securities pledged(3)   828     882
    Total restricted assets $ 1,978 $ 1,711

     

    (1) Included in Fixed maturities, available for sale, at fair value, on the Consolidated Balance sheets. (2) Included in Other investments on the Consolidated Balance sheets.

    (3) Includes the fair value of loaned securities of $715 and $759 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company delivered securities as collateral of $113 and $123, respectively. Loaned securities and securities delivered as collateral are included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Federal Home Loan Bank Funding

    On January 18, 2018, the Company became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”). The Company is required to pledge collateral to back funding agreements issued to the FHLB. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $877 in non-putable funding agreements, which are included in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019, assets with a market value of approximately $1,087 collateralized the FHLB funding agreements. Assets pledged to the FHLB are included in Fixed maturities, available for sale, at fair value on the Consolidated Balance sheets.

    Litigation, Regulatory Matters and Loss Contingencies

    Litigation, regulatory and other loss contingencies arise in connection with the Company's activities as a diversified financial services firm. The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. Claimants are not always required to specify the monetary damages they seek or they may be required only to state an amount sufficient to meet a court's jurisdictional requirements. Moreover, some jurisdictions allow claimants to allege monetary damages that far exceed any reasonably possible verdict. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim often bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim. Litigation against the Company includes a variety of claims including negligence, breach of contract, fraud, violation of regulation or statute, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, failure to supervise, elder abuse and other torts.

    As with other financial services companies, the Company periodically receives informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.

    The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is difficult to predict and the amount or range of potential losses associated with these or other loss contingencies requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to provide reasonably possible losses or ranges of losses for all pending regulatory matters, litigation and other loss contingencies.

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    While it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known, management believes that neither the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters, nor potential liabilities associated with other loss contingencies, are likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought in certain litigation and the inherent unpredictability of all such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation or regulatory matters, or liabilities arising from other loss contingencies, could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

    For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a possible range of loss. For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made. For matters where the Company, however, believes a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual is required. For matters for which an accrual has been made, but there remains a reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued or for matters where no accrual is required, the Company develops an estimate of the unaccrued amounts of the reasonably possible range of losses. As of December 31, 2019, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of any amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, not material to the Company.

    For other matters, the Company is currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The Company is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from plaintiffs and other parties, investigation of factual allegations, rulings by a court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement discussions. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory contingencies and updates the Company's accruals, disclosures and reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.

    Litigation includes Goetz v. Voya Financial and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (USDC District of Delaware, No. 1:17-cv-1289) (filed September 8, 2017), a putative class action in which plaintiff, a participant in a 401(k) plan, seeks to represent other participants in the plan as well as a class of similarly situated plans that “contract with [Voya] for recordkeeping and other services.” Plaintiff alleges that “Voya” breached its fiduciary duty to the plan and other plan participants by charging unreasonable and excessive recordkeeping fees, and that “Voya” distributed materially false and misleading 404a-5 administrative and fund fee disclosures to conceal its excessive fees. The Company denies the allegations, which it believes are without merit, and intends to defend the case vigorously.

    Finally, industry wide, life insurers continue to be exposed to class action litigation related to the cost of insurance rates and periodic deductions from cash value. Common allegations include that insurance companies have breached the terms of their universal life insurance policies by establishing or increasing the cost of insurance rates using cost factors not permitted by the contract, thereby unjustly enriching themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation.

    As disclosed in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to these Consolidated Financial Statements, DSL was divested as part of the 2018 Transaction. DSL had certain agreements whereby it generated revenues and expenses with affiliated entities, as follows:

    • Underwriting and distribution agreements for variable insurance and mutual fund products with affiliated companies including VRIAC. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, commissions were collected in the amount of $69 and $170, respectively. Such commissions were, in turn, paid to broker-dealers.

    • Intercompany agreements with affiliated companies related to investment advisory and other related services. The investment advisory agreement was terminated in the second quarter of 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, expenses under these intercompany agreements were $26 and $83, respectively.

    • Administrative and advisory services agreements with VIL and VIM, affiliated companies, in which DSL received certain services for a fee. These agreements were terminated in the second quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2017, expenses were incurred in the amount $23.

    Item 27.   Number of Contract Owners

     

    As of February 29, 2020, there were 324,744 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, Employment Practices liability and Network Security insurance policies.  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”) and Network Security (a.k.a. “Cyber/IT”).

     

    Section 20 of the Voya Financial Partners, LLC Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement executed as of June 30, 2016 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.


     

     

    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.

     

    Item 29.   Principal Underwriter

     

    (a)        In addition to serving as the principal underwriter for the Registrant, Voya Financial Partners, LLC acts as the principal underwriter for Variable Life Account B of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (VRIAC), Variable Annuity Account B of VRIAC, Variable Annuity Account I of VRIAC and Variable Annuity Account G of VRIAC (separate accounts of VRIAC registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act).  Voya Financial Partners, 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 trust under the 1940 Act), (iii) MFS ReliaStar Variable Account (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act), (iv) Northstar Variable Account (a separate account of RLIC registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act), (v) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds A, B and 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 and 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 management investment company registered under the1940 Act), and (viii) ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Variable Annuity Funds M and P (a management investment company registered under the1940 Act).
