NOTICE OF AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
AN UPCOMING FUND REORGANIZATION

 

The following information only affects you if you currently invest in or plan to invest in the subaccount that corresponds to the Invesco Mid Cap Core Equity Fund.

 

At meetings held December 9-11, 2019, the Boards of Trustees of the Invesco Funds unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to reorganize, effective on or amount May 15, 2020 (the “Reorganization Date”), Class A shares of the Invesco Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (the “Merging Fund”) with and into Class A shares of the Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Mid Cap Fund® (the “Surviving Fund”).

 

Voluntary Transfers Before the Reorganization Date. Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may transfer amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Merging Fund to any other available subaccount or any available fixed interest option.  There will be no charge for any such transfer, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. See the “TRANSFERS” section of either the contract prospectus or contract prospectus summary for information about making subaccount transfers.

 

On the Reorganization Date. On the Reorganization Date, your investment in the subaccount that invested in the Merging Fund will automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the Surviving Fund with an equal total net asset value. You will not incur any tax liability because of this automatic reallocation, and your contract value immediately before the reallocation will equal your contract value immediately after the reallocation.

 

Automatic Fund Reallocation After the Reorganization Date. After the Reorganization Date, the Merging Fund will no longer be available through your contract.  Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, after the Reorganization Date all allocations directed to the subaccount that invested in the Merging Fund will be automatically allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Surviving Fund. See the “TRANSFERS” section of either the contract prospectus or contract prospectus summary for information about making fund allocation changes.

 

Allocation Instructions. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting us at Customer Service, P.O. Box 990063, Hartford, CT 06199-0063 or calling us at 1-800-584-6001.

Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company
Variable Annuity Account C
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLANS
CONTRACT PROSPECTUS – MAY 1, 2020

The Contracts. The contracts described in this prospectus are group deferred fixed and variable annuity contracts issued by Voya
Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”). The contracts may be single purchase payment
contracts or installment purchase payment contracts. They are intended to be used as funding vehicles for certain types of retirement
plans, including those that qualify for beneficial tax treatment and/or to provide current income reduction under certain sections of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”).
Why Reading This Prospectus Is Important. Before you participate in the contracts through a retirement plan, you should read this
prospectus. It provides facts about the contracts and the available investment options. Plan sponsors (generally your employer) should
read this prospectus to help determine if the contracts are appropriate for their plan. You may participate in the contracts if you are an
eligible employee participating in a State University of New York (“SUNY”) or New York State Voluntary (“NYSV”) defined
contribution retirement plan qualified under Sections 401(a) and 414(h) of the Tax Code (referred to herein as the “SUNY Optional
Retirement Plan” or “SUNY ORP”), or the SUNY Voluntary 403(b) Plan, which is qualified under Section 403(b) of the Tax Code
(referred to herein as the “SUNY Voluntary Plan”). Keep this document for future reference.
Investment Options. The contracts offer variable investment options and fixed interest options. When we establish your account(s), the
contract holder, (generally the trustee of a multiple employer trust approved by the Company and as authorized by SUNY), or you
instruct us to direct account dollars to any of the available options. Some investment options may be unavailable through certain
contracts and plans.
Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account C (the
“separate account”). Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (funds) listed on the next page. Earnings on amounts invested in
a subaccount 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 12 and in each fund’s prospectus. Read this
prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses and retain them for future reference.
Fixed Interest Options. Under the SUNY ORP contracts, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (“GAA”), the Fixed Plus Account and
the Fixed Plus Account II A are available fixed interest options. Under the SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts (formerly called the
Opportunity Plus contracts), the GAA and the Fixed Account are available fixed interest options. Not all fixed interest options may be
available for current or future investment.
Except as specifically mentioned, this prospectus describes only the variable investment options. However, we describe the fixed interest
options in the appendices to this prospectus. There is also a separate prospectus for the GAA.
Compensation. We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the contracts. See “CONTRACT
DISTRIBUTION” for further information about the amount and types of compensation we may pay.
Getting Additional Information. If you received a summary prospectus for any of the funds available through your contract, you
may obtain a full prospectus and other information free of charge by either accessing the internet address, calling the telephone number
or sending an email request to the email address shown on the front of the fund’s summary prospectus. You may obtain the May 1, 2020,
Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) associated with this prospectus free of charge by indicating your request on your
enrollment materials, by calling the Company at 1-800-584-6001 or by writing to us at the address referenced under “CONTRACT
OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” You may also obtain a prospectus or an SAI for any of the funds or a GAA
prospectus by calling that number. The contract prospectus, the GAA prospectus, the SAI and other information about the separate
account may be obtained by accessing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website, www.sec.gov. When looking for
information regarding the contracts offered through this prospectus, you may find it useful to use the number assigned to the registration
statement for the contract prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933. This number is 033-81216. The number assigned to the
registration statement for GAA is 333-230711. The SAI table of contents is listed on page 58 of this prospectus. The SAI is incorporated
into this prospectus by reference.
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. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds
available under your contract.
Additional Disclosure Information. Neither the SEC, nor any state securities commission, has approved or disapproved the securities
offered through this prospectus or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense. We do not intend for this prospectus to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state that does
not permit their sale. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different than that contained in this
prospectus.
The contracts described in this prospectus are not deposits with, obligations of or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, nor are
they insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The contracts are subject to investment risk, including the
possible loss of the principal amount invested.

8 This is a deferred sales charge applicable only to SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts. For single purchase payment contracts, there is no early
  withdrawal charge. For installment purchase payment contracts, the early withdrawal charge applies to amounts withdrawn from the Fixed
  Account and to amounts withdrawn from the subaccounts and the GAA but only if they were attributable to amounts held in the Fixed Account
  at any time. The early withdrawal charge reduces over time and may be calculated differently where both a Roth 403(b) account, if available,
  and traditional 403(b) account are available. These fees may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. See “FEES.”
9 This is the difference between the rate charged and the rate credited on loans under your contract. For example, if the current credited interest
  rate is 6%, the amount of interest applied to the contract would be 3.5%; the 2.5% loan interest rate spread or difference is retained by the
  Company. Currently, the loan interest rate spread is 2.5% per annum for SUNY ORP contracts and 0.0% for SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts.
  See “LOANS.”        
10 We currently charge the amounts shown in these columns; however, we reserve the right to charge up to the maximum amounts shown in the
  “Maximum Charges” column above.

addition, a pro rata portion of the quarterly charge will be deducted upon a full surrender of the eligible account value, upon cancellation of the
endorsement and upon the application of the eligible account value to an income phase option. See “MGWB Endorsement Charge” and

Examples                
 
The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of
investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include the separate account annual expenses applicable to
the particular fund and fund fees and expenses.          
 
Fund Fees and Expenses Examples. The following examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for
the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes
the maximum contract fees and expenses (for SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts this includes those with the MGWB
Endorsement) and the maximum fees and expenses of any of the funds. Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:        
 
      1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Applicable to SUNY ORP contracts $379 $1,152 $1,944 $4,010

contracts. The installment purchase payment contracts schedule is referenced under “FEES.”    
13 These examples do not apply if during the income phase a nonlifetime payment option with variable payments is selected and a lump-sum
withdrawal is requested within three years after the payments start. In that case, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the
accumulation phase and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as shown in Example A.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In APPENDIX VII, we provide condensed financial
information about the separate account subaccounts available under the contracts. The tables show the value of the
subaccounts over the past ten years. For subaccounts that were not available ten years ago, we give a history from
the date of first availability.  
 
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 Statements 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 contracts available for purchase are group flexible premium deferred
variable and fixed annuity contracts that the Company offers in connection with retirement plans under Tax Code
Sections 401(a), 403(b), including Roth 403(b), if available, and 414(h). They are designed to fund the SUNY ORP
or the SUNY Voluntary Plan defined contribution retirement plans.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 9

 


 

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.
 
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 Section 401(a), 403(b), Roth 403(b), if available, or 414(h) retirement plan), an annuity contract is not
necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already
available to the tax qualified account itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as the
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 your financial representative, taking into account the additional fees
and expenses you may incur in an annuity.  
 
Purchasing the Contract. The contract holder submits the required forms and application to the Company. We
approve the forms and issue a contract to the contract holder.
 
Participating in the Contract. To participate in the contract, complete an enrollment form and submit it to
Customer Service. See “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” Subject to
administrative availability, enrollment in the 401(a) contract may be available online. If your enrollment is accepted,
we establish an employee account and an employer account for each participant.
· Under the rollover contract, we will allocate purchase payments attributable to transfers of after-tax employee
contributions made to a predecessor 403(b) or Roth 403(b) plan, as applicable, to the employee account and
purchase payments attributable to a transfer of employer contributions made under the same plan to the employer
account.  
· Under the modal contract, we will allocate funds attributable to Tax Code Section 414(h) contributions to an
employee account and ongoing payments under Tax Code Section 401(a) and transferred funds attributable to
Tax Code Section 401(a) contributions from another investment provider to an employer account.
 
Acceptance or Rejection of Application or Enrollment Forms. We must accept or reject an application or your
enrollment forms within two business days of receipt. If the application or enrollment forms are incomplete, we may
hold any forms and accompanying purchase payments for five days, unless you consent to our holding them longer.
If we reject the application or enrollment forms, we will return the forms and any payments.
 
Allocating Purchase Payments to the Investment Options. You direct us to allocate initial purchase payments
among the investment options available under the plan. Generally you will specify this information on your
enrollment materials. If you enroll in SUNY ORP contract online (subject to administrative availability of this
feature), the plan sponsor may direct that your contributions be allocated to a specific Voya Solution target date
portfolio identified by the plan sponsor, until you elect otherwise. The Voya Solution target date portfolio applicable
to you will be based on your date of birth. This is described in your online enrollment materials. After your
enrollment, except as may be required under our Excessive Trading Policy, you may request alternative allocation
instructions or initiate transfers among the investment options by telephone or, where available, electronically.
Contact Customer Service at the telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company” for information on how to initiate transfers or reallocations and for the
electronic trading mediums currently available.  
 
The plan sponsor may also direct that your contributions be allocated to a specific Voya Solution target date
portfolio based on your date of birth in other circumstances, generally, when you fail to make an investment option
selection for contributions that you have directed to the contract.
 
Allocations must be in whole percentages and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can
be selected at any one time. See “INVESTMENT OPTIONS” and “TRANSFERS.”
 
Tax Code Restriction. The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL
TAX CONSIDERATIONS.”  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 10

 


 

Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. The decision to purchase or participate in the contract should be
discussed with your financial representative. Make sure that you understand the investment options it provides, its
other features, the risks 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 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
· Exchanges – Replacing 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 any increased charges
that might apply under this contract. Also, be sure to talk to your financial professional or tax 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.
 
 
 
CONTRACT OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS
 
Who Owns the Contract? We issue a contract to a trustee of a multiple employer trust that has applied for and
owns the contract as authorized by SUNY and the Company.
 
Who Owns Money Accumulated under the Contract? We establish one or more accounts for you under the
contracts. Generally, we establish an employee account to receive salary reduction and rollover amounts, an
employer account to receive employer contributions and Roth 403(b) account(s), if available, to receive employee
after-tax salary reduction and rollover amounts. You have the right to the nonforfeitable value of your employee
account, employer account and Roth 403(b) account, as determined by the plan administrator in accordance with the
terms of the plan.  
 
What Rights Do I Have under the Contract? You may select the investment options to be used for allocations to
your employee account and employer account. If you enroll in the SUNY ORP contract online (subject to
administrative availability of this feature) the plan sponsor may direct that your contributions be allocated to a
specific Voya Solution target date portfolio identified by the plan sponsor, until you elect otherwise. The Voya
Solution target date portfolio applicable to you will be based on your date of birth. This is described in your online
enrollment materials. You may change these allocations after you have enrolled by logging into
voyaretirementplans.com. The plan sponsor may also direct that your contributions be allocated to a specific Voya
Solution target date portfolio based on your date of birth in other circumstances, generally when you fail to make an
investment option selection for contributions that you have directed to the contract. You may elect an income phase
payment if the plan administrator certifies that you are eligible for a distribution and that the form of annuity is
permitted under the terms of the plan.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 11

 


 

RIGHT TO CANCEL  
 
When and How to Cancel. You may cancel your purchase within ten days after receiving the document
evidencing your interest by returning it to Customer Service at the address referenced under “CONTRACT
OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company,” along with a written notice of cancellation.
 
Refunds. We will produce a refund to you no later than seven calendar days after we receive the document
evidencing your interest and the written notice of cancellation at the address referenced under “CONTRACT
OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” The refund will equal the dollars contributed to your
accounts plus any earnings and less any losses attributable to the purchase payments allocated to the variable
investment options. Any mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges deducted during the
period you held the contract will not be returned. No market value adjustment will be applied to any amounts you
contributed to the GAA.  
 
 
 
INVESTMENT OPTIONS  
 
The contracts offer variable investment options and fixed interest options. When we establish your account(s), the
contract holder, or the plan administrator, if applicable (generally the trustee of a multiple employer trust approved
by the Company and as authorized by SUNY), or you instruct us to direct account dollars to any of the available
options. We may add, withdraw or substitute investment options subject to the conditions in the contract and in
compliance with regulatory requirements.  
 
Variable Investment Options  
 
These options are called subaccounts of Variable Annuity Account C. Each subaccount invests directly in shares of
an underlying mutual fund. Earnings on amounts invested in a 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.
 
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 contracts are obligations of the Company. 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.  
 
Funds Available Through the Separate Account
 
The separate account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests directly in shares of an underlying fund.
The funds available through the subaccounts of the separate account are listed in the front of this prospectus. We
also provide a brief description of each fund in APPENDIX IV. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional
information and read them carefully. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, from 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 12

 


 

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). Some of 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.  
 
Public Funds. The following funds, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are also available to
the general public:    
· Alger Responsible Investing Fund   · JPMorgan Government Bond Fund
· AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund   · Invesco Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund
· Amana Growth Fund   · Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Fund

contract.    
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 13  

 


 

Possible Conflicts of Interest. With respect to the insurance-dedicated funds, it is possible that a conflict of interest
may arise due to mixed and shared funding, a change in law affecting the operations of variable annuity separate
accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the contract holder and others maintaining a voting interest in the
funds or some other reason. Such a conflict 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 insurance-dedicated fund’s board of
directors or trustees will monitor events in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may arise and
to determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts. In the event of a conflict, the Company
will take any steps necessary to protect contract holders and annuitants maintaining a voting interest in the funds,
including the withdrawal of the separate account from participation in the funds that are involved in the conflict.
 
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 contracts. We have included 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.  
 
Generally, under contracts issued in connection with Section 403(b) and 401 plans, you have a fully vested interest
in the value of your employee account and in your employer account to the extent of your vested percentage in the
plan. Therefore, under such plans you generally have the right to instruct the contract holder how to direct us to vote
shares attributable to your account. 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, whole and fractional, any person is entitled to direct will be determined as of the record date
set by any fund in which that person invests through the subaccounts. Additionally:
· During the accumulation phase, the number of votes is equal to the portion of your account value invested in the
fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund; and
· During the income phase, 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 14

 


 

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 telephone number referenced under
“CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” See also “TRANSFERS” for
information about making subaccount allocation changes;
· 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.
 
Fixed Interest Options  
 
For descriptions of the fixed interest options that may be available, see APPENDIX I, APPENDIX II and the
GAA prospectus. The GAA prospectus may be obtained free of charge from Customer Service 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’s Public Reference Branch.
 
Selecting Investment Options  
 
When selecting investment options:  
· Choose options appropriate for you. Your local representative can help you evaluate which investment options
may be appropriate for your individual circumstances and your financial goals;
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 15

 


 

· 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 a value that rises and falls more
rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international
securities are subject to additional risks not associated with domestic investments, and their 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 fixed
interest option appendices and the GAA 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 Option Availability. Some subaccounts and fixed interest options may not be available through
certain contracts and plans 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; and  
· Limits on Number of Options Selected. Generally, the contract holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may
select no more than 25 investment options at initial enrollment. Thereafter, more than 25 investment options can
be selected at any one time.    
 
 
 
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 in the “FEE TABLE” section. Please review both this
section and the “FEE TABLE” section for information on fees.

earnings attributable to such distributed amounts. In addition, there is no early Charge
withdrawal charge for any amounts withdrawn under single purchase payment · Fund Fees and Expenses
contracts.    
 
Amount. The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn. The percentage will be determined by the early
withdrawal charge schedule that applies to your account.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 16  

 


 

Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. This charge may be referred to as a surrender charge in your contract or
certificate/enrollment materials. The charge 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.  
 
The early withdrawal charge applies only to:  
· Amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Account; and  
· Amounts withdrawn from a subaccount or the GAA if they were attributable to amounts held in the Fixed
  Account (and any earnings on such amounts). Amounts will be withdrawn proportionately from amounts that are
  subject to an early withdrawal charge and amounts that are not subject to an early withdrawal charge.
 
Early Withdrawal Charge Schedules  
 
The following schedules are based on the number of completed account years (an account year is a 12 month period
measured from the date we establish your account, or measured from any anniversary of that date).
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Account and Variable Investment Options*
  Account Years Completed Early Withdrawal Charge
  Fewer than 5 5%
  5 or more but fewer than 7 4%
  7 or more but fewer than 9 3%
  9 or more but less than 10 2%
  10 or more 0%
 
 
 
* The early withdrawal charge applies to amounts withdrawn from the variable investment options and the GAA
  only if they were attributable to amounts held in the Fixed Account at any time.
 
Withdrawals from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account that are Subject to an
Early Withdrawal Charge*
  Account Years Completed Early Withdrawal Charge
  Fewer than 3 5%
  3 or more but fewer than 4 4%
  4 or more but fewer than 5 3%
  5 or more but fewer than 6 2%
  6 or more but fewer than 7 1%
  7 or more 0%
 
 
 
* The early withdrawal charge applies to amounts withdrawn from the variable investment options and the GAA
  only if they were attributable to amounts held in the Fixed Account at any time.
 
Waivers. The early withdrawal charge is waived for portions of a withdrawal that are:
· Used to provide payments to you during the income phase;
· Paid because of your death before income phase payments begin;
· Paid where your account value is $5,000 or less and no withdrawals have been taken from the contract within the
  prior 12 months;  
· Withdrawn because of the election of a systematic distribution option (see “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION
  OPTIONS”);  
· Withdrawn due to disability as specified in the Tax Code;
· Withdrawn due to your separation from service;  
· Withdrawn due to a financial hardship as defined in the Tax Code;
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 17

 


 

· Transferred or exchanged to another contract issued by the Company for the plan, subject to conditions
established by the Company, and provided the new contract is not canceled under the right to cancel provision.
We will treat the exercise of the right to cancel as a reinstatement, and any subsequent surrender may be subject
to an applicable early withdrawal charge; or  
· Transferred or exchanged to a Company Code Section 403(b)(7) custodial account, subject to Tax Code Section
403(b)(7)(A)(ii) and subject to various conditions established by the Company.
 
Severance from Employment. Although the Tax Code permits distributions upon a participant’s severance from
employment, the contracts do not provide for a waiver of early withdrawal charges unless the severance from
employment would have otherwise qualified as a separation from service prior to the Economic Growth and Tax
Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and you meet the other requirements set forth in the contract.
 
Free Withdrawals. If you are between the ages of 59½ and 70½, you may withdraw up to 10% of your account
value during each calendar year without being charged a withdrawal fee. The free withdrawal only applies to the
first partial withdrawal you make in each calendar year. The 10% amount will be based on your account value
calculated on the valuation date next following our receipt of your request for withdrawal. Outstanding contract
loans are excluded from the account value when calculating the 10% free withdrawal amount.
 
The free withdrawal will not apply to:  
· A full withdrawal of your account; or  
· Partial withdrawals due to a default on a contract loan.
 
Loan Interest Rate Spread  
 
For a discussion of the loan interest rate spread and the costs associated with loans, see “LOANS – Loan Interest.”
 
Fund Redemption Fees  
 
Certain funds may deduct redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you
initiate. If applicable, we may 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.
 
Periodic Fees and Charges  
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  
 
Maximum Amount. For SUNY ORP contracts, the maximum mortality and expense risk charge is 1.25% annually
of the amount invested in the subaccounts. For SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts, the maximum mortality and
expense risk charge is 1.00% annually of the amount invested in the subaccounts. We may charge a different fee for
different funds (but not beyond the maximum amount). See your contract (held by the contract holder).
 
The annual mortality and expense risk charge currently assessed is shown in the “FEE TABLE”; however, we
reserve the right to charge up to the maximum amount shown above.
 
When/How. We deduct this fee daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. We do not deduct
this fee from any fixed interest option. We deduct this fee during the accumulation phase and the income phase. See
“INCOME PHASE – Charges Deducted.”  
 
Purpose. The fee compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contracts, namely:
· Mortality risks are those risks associated with our promise to make lifetime payments based on annuity rates
specified in the contracts and our funding of the death benefit and other payments we make to owners or
beneficiaries of the accounts; and  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 18

 


 

· Expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contracts will exceed the maximum costs that
we can charge.  
 
If the amount we deduct for this fee is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contracts, 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 fee.  
 
Purpose. This fee compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contracts. If the amount
we deduct for this fee is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contracts, 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 fee.  
 
Administrative Expense Charge  
 
Maximum Amount. 0.25% on an annual basis of the amount invested in the subaccounts.
 
The administrative expense charge currently assessed is shown in the “FEE TABLE”; however, we reserve the right
to charge up to the maximum amount shown above.  
 
When/How. We deduct this fee daily during the accumulation phase from your account value held in the
subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. We do not currently deduct this fee during the income phase,
although we reserve the right to do so. If we are imposing this fee under the contract when you enter the income
phase, the fee will apply to you during the entire income phase.
 
Purpose. This charge helps defray the cost of providing administrative services under the contracts and in relation to
the separate account and subaccounts.  
 
MGWB Endorsement Charge (certain SUNY Voluntary Plan Contracts only)
 
Maximum Amount. We charge this fee only if you elected to purchase the MGWB Endorsement, which was only
available prior to April 29, 2011. The maximum annual charge for the MGWB Endorsement is 1.20% of the MGWB
Base, deducted as a quarterly charge of 0.30%. The current annual charge for the MGWB Endorsement is shown in
the “FEE TABLE”; however, we reserve the right to charge up to the maximum amount shown above.
 
Please see “OPTIONAL MINIMUM GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ENDORSEMENT –
Calculating the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Base” for how and when the MGWB Base is
calculated.  
 
When/How. We deduct this fee on each quarterly endorsement anniversary date from the portion of the eligible
account value invested in the subaccounts in the same proportion that this amount bears to the total eligible account
value invested in all subaccounts. While we do not deduct this charge from amounts invested in any fixed interest
option, the charge is calculated as a percentage of the MGWB Base, which includes amounts you have invested in
the fixed interest options. If the amount invested in the subaccounts is insufficient to satisfy any portion of the
MGWB Endorsement Charge on a quarterly endorsement anniversary date, we reserve the right to deduct any
remaining MGWB Endorsement Charge on the next business day in which you have amounts invested in the
subaccounts sufficient to satisfy the remaining charge.  
 
A “quarterly endorsement anniversary date” is the date three months from the date the MGWB Endorsement
becomes effective (the “endorsement date”) that falls on the same date of the month as the endorsement date. For
example, if the endorsement date is February 12, the quarterly endorsement anniversary date is May 12. If there is
no corresponding date in the month, the quarterly endorsement anniversary date will be the last date of such month.
If the quarterly endorsement anniversary date falls on a weekend or holiday, we will use the value as of the
subsequent business day. An “endorsement anniversary” is the date one calendar year from the endorsement date,
and each date thereafter that is the same date and month as the endorsement date. We call the consecutive one year
period starting on the endorsement date and each endorsement anniversary and ending on the date before the next
endorsement anniversary an “endorsement year.”  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 19

 


 

In addition, a pro rata portion of the quarterly charge will be deducted upon a full surrender of the eligible account
value, upon cancellation of the MGWB Endorsement, and upon the application of the eligible account value to an
income phase option.  
 
Purpose. The fee compensates us for the insurance risks we take in providing the guaranteed withdrawals available
under the MGWB Endorsement. If the amount we deduct for this fee is not enough to cover the costs of these risks,
we will bear the loss, while if the amount we deduct for this fee exceeds such risks, we will earn a profit from this
fee. We do not expect to earn a profit from this fee.  
 
Fund Fees and Expenses  
 
As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “FEE TABLE – Fund Fees and Expenses” section, 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 holder 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;
· 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 20

 


 

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 that made 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:
· American Funds®; · American Century Funds;
· Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products Funds · Calvert Funds;
· OppenheimerFunds®; · USAA Funds;
· Wells Fargo Funds; · Loomis Sayles® Funds ;
· Franklin Templeton Investment Funds; · Alger Funds;
· Amana Mutual Funds; · Cohen & Steers Funds;
· PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Funds; · Victory Funds ;
· BlackRock Funds ; · TCW Galileo Funds ;
· Lord Abbett Funds; · Invesco Funds;
· Invesco V.I. Funds; · Nuveen Funds; and
· Pax World Funds; · Lazard Funds.
 
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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 21

 


 

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 opportunities 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” or “master-feeder” 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 are 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.  
 
Charges for Advisory Services  
 
We reserve the right to deduct from a participant’s account, upon authorization from the participant, any advisory
and other fees due under an independent advisory services agreement between the participant and an investment
adviser. Advisory fees will be deducted on a proportional basis from the subaccounts that invest in the funds used in
the allocation model selected by the participant under the advisory services agreement. Any set-up fees may be
deducted on a proportional basis from all of the funds in which the participant is invested.
 
Premium and Other Taxes  
 
Currently, there is no premium tax on annuities under New York regulations. If the state does impose a premium
tax, it would be deducted from the amount applied to an income phase payment option. We reserve the right to
deduct a charge for state premium tax from the purchase payment(s) or from the account value at any time, but no
earlier than when we have a tax liability under state law.
 
In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account.
See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS.”  
 
 
YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE  
 
During the accumulation phase, your account value at any given time equals:
· Account dollars directed to the fixed interest options, including interest earnings to date; less
· Deductions, if any, from the fixed interest options (e.g., withdrawals, fees); plus
· The current dollar value of amounts held in the subaccounts, which takes into account investment performance
and fees deducted from the subaccounts.  
 
Subaccount Accumulation Units. When a fund is selected as an investment option, your account dollars invest in
“accumulation units” of the separate account subaccount corresponding to that fund. The subaccount invests directly
in the fund shares. The value of your interests in a subaccount is expressed as the number of accumulation units you
hold multiplied by an “Accumulation Unit Value,” as described below, for each unit.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 22

 


 

Accumulation Unit Value. The value of each accumulation unit in a subaccount is called the accumulation unit
value (“AUV”). The value of accumulation units varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment
performance. The value also reflects deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge,
and the administrative expense charge. We discuss these deductions in more detail in “FEE TABLE” and
“FEES.”        
 
Valuation. We determine the AUV every 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 investment
factor” of the subaccount. The net investment factor measures the investment performance of the subaccount from
one valuation to the next.        
 
Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Investment Factor
 
Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations, equals the
sum of 1.0000 plus the net investment rate.        
 
Net Investment Rate. The net investment 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 units at the preceding valuation; minus      
· A daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense charge and any other
fees deducted daily from investments in the separate account. See “FEES.”    
 
The net investment rate may be either positive or negative.      
 
Hypothetical Illustration. As a hypothetical illustration, assume that an investor contributes $5,000 to his account
and directs us to invest $3,000 in Fund A and $2,000 in Fund B. After receiving the contribution and following the
next close of business of the NYSE, the applicable AUV’s are $10 for Subaccount A and $25 for Subaccount B.
Your account is credited with 300 accumulation units of Subaccount A and 80 accumulation units of Subaccount B.
 
Step 1: You make an initial $5,000 contribution  
contribution of $5,000.   Step 1 ¯    
  Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company
Step 2:   Step 2 ¯    
· You direct us to invest $3,000 in Variable Annuity Account C  
Fund A. The purchase payment Subaccount A Subaccount B Etc.
purchases 300 accumulation units of 300 accumulation 80 accumulation units
Subaccount A ($3,000 divided by units      
the current $10 AUV).        
· You direct us to invest $2,000 in        
Fund B. The purchase payment        
purchases 80 accumulation units of        
Subaccount B ($2,000 divided by        
the current $25 AUV).        
 
Step 3: The separate account then ¯ Step 3 ¯  
purchases shares of the applicable        
funds at the current market value (net Fund A   Fund B  
asset value or “NAV”).        
 
The fund’s subsequent investment performance, expenses and charges and the daily charges deducted from the
subaccount will cause the AUV to move up or down on a daily basis.      
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 23      

 


 

Purchase Payments to Your Account. If all or a portion of initial payments are directed to the subaccounts, they
will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed after our acceptance of the applicable
application or enrollment forms. Any subsequent purchase payments or transfers directed to the subaccounts that we
receive by the close of business of the NYSE will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV computed as
of the close of the NYSE on that day. The value of subaccounts may vary day to day. Subsequent purchase
payments and transfers received in good order after the close of the NYSE will purchase accumulation units at the
AUV computed after the close of the NYSE on the next business day.
 
 
TRANSFERS  
 
Transfers Among Investment Options. During the accumulation phase and the income phase, you may transfer
amounts among the variable investment options. Except as may be required under our Excessive Trading Policy,
you may make a transfer request by telephone or, where available, electronically at www.voyaretirementplans.com.
Transfers must be made in accordance with the terms of the contract and your plan. Contact Customer Service at
the telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company”
for information on how to initiate transfers among the variable investment options and for the electronic
medium(s) currently available. Transfers from fixed interest options are restricted as outlined in APPENDIX
II, APPENDIX III and APPENDIX IV.  
 
Value of Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred into or out of subaccounts will be based on the
subaccount unit values next determined after we receive your transfer request.
 
Telephone and Electronic Transfers: 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 following telephone or
electronic instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the
loss.  
 
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
participants 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 24

 


 

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.
 
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.

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 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.  
 
Asset Rebalancing Program. This program allows you to have your account value invested in the variable
investment options automatically reallocated to specified percentages on a scheduled basis. There is no additional
charge for this service. Account values invested in the GAA and/or the Fixed Plus Account are not eligible to be
rebalanced. You may have your account value invested in the GAA and/or the Fixed Plus Account and also
participate in this program; however, you will not be able to participate in this program if current investment
allocations for new contributions are allocated to the GAA and/or the Fixed Plus Account.

Calculation of Your Withdrawal. We determine your account value every normal business day after the close
of the NYSE. We pay withdrawal amounts based on your account value either:
· As of the next valuation after we receive a request for withdrawal in good order at the address referenced under
CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company”, or
· On such later date as specified on the disbursement form (as allowed under our administrative procedures).
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 27  

 


 

Withdrawal Restrictions. Many plans may have other limits on withdrawals that may be made from the plan.
Some examples of these limits are listed below:  
· Section 403(b)(11) of the Tax Code generally prohibits withdrawals under 403(b) contracts prior to your death,
disability, attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, or financial hardship, of the following:
> Salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988;
> Earnings on those contributions; and  
> Earnings on amounts held before 1989 and credited after December 31, 1988 (these amounts are not available
for hardship withdrawals). Other withdrawals may be allowed as provided for under the Tax Code or
regulations.  
· The contract may require that the contract holder certify that you are eligible for the distribution.
 
403(b) regulations impose restrictions on the distribution of 403(b) employer contributions under certain contracts.
See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Taxation of Qualified Contracts – Distributions – Eligibility –
403(b) Plans.”  
 
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 provision, the CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the limitations
the Tax Code imposes on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Distributions –
Eligibility.”  
 
Delivery of Payment. Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements.
Normally, the payment will be sent no later than seven calendar days following our receipt of the disbursement form
in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the
Company.”  
 
Reinstatement Privilege. The contracts allow the one-time use of a reinstatement privilege. Within 30 days after a
full withdrawal, if allowed by law, you may elect to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds. We must receive
reinvested amounts within 60 days of the withdrawal. We will credit the account for the amount reinvested based
upon the subaccount values next computed following our receipt of your request and the amount to be reinvested.
Provided all options are available, we will reinvest in the same investment options and proportions in place at the
time of withdrawal. If an investment option is closed or otherwise no longer available, amounts to be allocated to
any such option will be reinvested in a replacement option as directed by your plan sponsor. If your plan sponsor
has not designated a replacement option, unless we receive alternative allocation instructions, amounts that would
have been reinvested in the investment option that is closed or unavailable may be automatically allocated among
the other available investment options 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 investment options, the amount to be
allocated will be returned unless we are provided with alternative allocation instructions. Special rules apply to
reinstatements of amounts withdrawn from the GAA. See “APPENDIX I.” Seek competent advice regarding the
tax consequences associated with reinstatement.  
 
Employer Directed Withdrawals. If permitted by the plan, we may, at the contract holder’s direction, deduct
amounts from participant accounts in order to pay costs associated with a third party administrator engaged by the
plan sponsor to administer the plan.  
 
 
OPTIONAL MINIMUM GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL
 
BENEFIT ENDORSEMENT (Certain SUNY Voluntary Contracts Only)
 
General. The Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Endorsement (“MGWB Endorsement”) was only available
through the SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts and is no longer available for purchase. If you elected to purchase this
endorsement prior to April 29, 2011, the MGWB Endorsement generally guarantees that you may withdraw
specified amounts from your account each calendar year. Depending upon the option you select, these withdrawals
may be guaranteed for a defined period or for your life. The MGWB Endorsement may also provide for guaranteed
payments in the event your eligible account value is reduced to zero, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
noted below.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 28

 


 

Any date required by this endorsement that falls on a date when the NYSE is closed for trading will be applied as of
the next date the NYSE is open.  
 
The MGWB Endorsement may not have been available for all investors. If you purchased the MGWB
Endorsement before April 29, 2011, in order to be eligible for a withdrawal, you must otherwise qualify for
withdrawals under the terms of the Tax Code and your retirement plan. The MGWB Endorsement
guarantees withdrawals up to a specified amount each calendar year. It does not guarantee any return of
principal or purchase payments, nor does it guarantee performance of any specific fund under the contract.
The MGWB Endorsement has no cash surrender value. You should consult a financial, tax and/or legal
adviser when evaluating the MGWB Endorsement.  
 
Applicability. The MGWB Endorsement was not available in connection with Roth 403(b) accounts. Amounts in a
Roth 403(b) account, if available, are not used to determine the MGWB Base, and any purchase payments
contributed as Roth 403(b) after-tax salary reductions are not included as eligible purchase payments for purposes of
the MGWB Endorsement. In addition, withdrawals from Roth 403(b) accounts are disregarded for purposes of the
MGWB Endorsement. The MGWB Endorsement is not applicable to amounts invested in or contributed to the
403(b)(7) mutual fund program that may be offered by us under your plan. Any transfers from investment options
offered under the SUNY Voluntary Plan contract to any investment option offered under our 403(b)(7) mutual fund
program will be treated as a withdrawal and will cause the MGWB Endorsement to enter into the Withdrawal Phase.
Once the MGWB Endorsement has entered the Withdrawal Phase, any such transfer from investment options
offered under the SUNY Voluntary Plan contract to any investment option offered under our 403(b)(7) mutual fund
program will also be treated as a withdrawal, as described in “Impact of Withdrawals on the MGWB Remaining
Guaranteed Balance and MGWB Base” below.  
 
Charges for the MGWB Endorsement. The maximum annual charge for the MGWB Endorsement is 1.20% of the
MGWB Base, deducted as a quarterly charge of 0.30%. The current annual charge for the MGWB Endorsement is
0.40% of the MGWB Base, deducted as a quarterly charge of 0.10%. See “FEES – MGWB Endorsement
Charge.”  
 
Overview of the MGWB Endorsement. The MGWB Endorsement has two phases. The first phase, called the
“Growth Phase,” begins on the endorsement date and ends as of the business day before the first partial withdrawal
is taken. The second phase is called the “Withdrawal Phase.” This phase begins as of the date you take the first
partial withdrawal of any kind under the contract while the MGWB Endorsement is in effect. During the
accumulation phase under the contract, the MGWB Endorsement may be in either the Growth Phase or the
Withdrawal Phase. During both the Withdrawal Phase and the Growth Phase, we require that your eligible account
value be allocated in accordance with certain limitations. See “Investment Option Restrictions” below.
 
At the time you decide to take your first partial withdrawal from the contract (thereby triggering the Withdrawal
Phase), you must elect one of two endorsement withdrawal options. These options determine the benefits you may
receive under the MGWB Endorsement, and are in part restricted based upon your age on the date the Withdrawal
Phase begins, as follows:  
· If you are between age 50 and 54 on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may only elect endorsement
withdrawal option A; and  
· If you are age 55 or over on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may select between endorsement
withdrawal option A and endorsement withdrawal option B.
 
Once an endorsement withdrawal option is selected, it may not be changed.
 
Endorsement Withdrawal Options. Before entering the Withdrawal Phase by taking a partial withdrawal, you
must elect an endorsement withdrawal option. If you purchase the MGWB Endorsement at a time when you have
elected a systematic distribution option under the contract (see “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS”),
and you do not terminate the systematic distribution option at the time the MGWB Endorsement is elected, the
Withdrawal Phase will begin with your next scheduled systematic distribution, and you therefore must elect an
endorsement withdrawal option. You should carefully consider the impact an existing systematic distribution option
will have on the MGWB Endorsement withdrawal options before electing the MGWB Endorsement. Election of the
endorsement withdrawal option must be received in good order and must accompany your partial withdrawal
request, as permitted by your plan.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 29

 


 

When electing an endorsement withdrawal option, you should compare the benefits available under each option with
those otherwise available through the income phase payment options available under your contract. Once an
endorsement withdrawal option has been elected, it cannot be changed.
 
The available endorsement withdrawal options are as follows:  
Endorsement Age on the date Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Option Withdrawal Phase begins Withdrawal Percentage
A (Non Life) 50+ 7%
  55-64 4%
B (Life) 65+ 5%
 
Under endorsement withdrawal option A, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage (“MAW Percentage”) is
7% (see “Calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” below), and in the event the MGWB Endorsement
enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, MGWB Periodic Payments will continue only until the MGWB
Remaining Guaranteed Balance is reduced to zero, at which point all benefits under the MGWB Endorsement will
end. See “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” and “MGWB Periodic Payments” below.
 
Under endorsement withdrawal option B, the MAW Percentage is 4% if you are between age 55 and 64 on the date
the Withdrawal Phase begins and 5% if you are age 65 or older on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins (see
“Calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” below); however, in the event the MGWB Endorsement enters
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, MGWB Periodic Payments will continue for your lifetime, even if the MGWB
Remaining Guaranteed Balance is reduced to zero. See “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” and “MGWB
Periodic Payments” below.    
 
Calculating the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Base. In order to determine the amount you may
withdraw under the MGWB Endorsement (see “Calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” below), we first
determine the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Base (“MGWB Base”). The initial MGWB Base is equal
to your eligible account value on the date of the MGWB Endorsement (the “endorsement date”). During the Growth
Phase, the MGWB Base is recalculated on each endorsement anniversary for a maximum of ten years following the
endorsement date. For example, if the endorsement date is March 1, 2011, the MGWB Base will be recalculated on
March 1, 2012, and on each March 1 up to and including March 1, 2021. We call the date that the MGWB Base is
recalculated the “ratchet date.” The minimum initial MGWB Base is $25,000; the maximum MGWB Base is
$1,000,000 (or such greater amount as we may otherwise allow), including any transfer or rollover amounts we
receive within 12 months of the endorsement date. The subsequent maximum MGWB Base on any ratchet date is
limited to $5,000,000. We call the amount in excess of these limits “ineligible purchase payments.” For purposes of
this calculation, we call any salary deferral amounts received during the Growth Phase and any transfer/rollover
amounts received within the first 12 months from the endorsement date (during the Growth Phase) as “eligible
purchase payments.”    
 
As of each ratchet date, the MGWB Base equals the greater of:  
· The current MGWB Base; or    
· Your current eligible account value, less any ineligible purchase payments.
 
On any other date, the MGWB Base equals:  
· The MGWB Base on the previous ratchet date; plus  
· Any eligible purchase payments applied since the previous ratchet date.
 
For purposes of calculating the MGWB Base on or prior to the first ratchet date, the endorsement date will be treated
as the previous ratchet date for this calculation.  
 
During the Withdrawal Phase, the MGWB Base is recalculated to reflect any election to exercise the MGWB Reset
Option and to reflect any adjustments for partial withdrawals that cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be
exceeded. See “Impact of Withdrawals on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and MGWB Base”
below.    
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 30  

 


 

Calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal (“MAW”) is the maximum
amount that may be withdrawn from your eligible account value in any calendar year that the MGWB Endorsement
is in effect, without reducing the MGWB Endorsement benefit guarantee in future years. The MAW is generally
determined by multiplying the MAW Percentage (see “Endorsement Withdrawal Options” above) by the MGWB
Base as of the date the MAW is determined.  
 
The initial MAW is determined on the last day of the Growth Phase, by multiplying:
· The applicable MAW Percentage, based upon your age and the endorsement withdrawal option you select (see
“Endorsement Withdrawal Options” above); by  
· The MGWB Base as of that date.  
 
Once determined, neither the endorsement withdrawal option nor the MAW Percentage may be changed.
 
Thereafter, the MAW will be recalculated each time the MGWB Base is increased or decreased (see “Calculating
the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Base” above and “MGWB Reset Option” below), so as to equal
the MAW Percentage multiplied by the newly recalculated MGWB Base.
 
Calculating the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance. The “MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance” is the
amount guaranteed to be available for withdrawal from your eligible account value over time, while the MGWB
Endorsement is in effect.  
 
During the Growth Phase, the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance is equal to the MGWB Base.
 
During the Withdrawal Phase, the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance will be recalculated at the time of each
withdrawal, at the time the MGWB Reset Option is exercised, and at the time any endorsement benefits are paid.
See “Impact of Withdrawals on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and MGWB Base,” “MGWB
Periodic Payments,” and “MGWB Reset Option” below.
 
In the event you have elected endorsement withdrawal option A (non life) and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed
Balance is reduced to zero, the MGWB Endorsement will terminate and no additional endorsement benefits will be
paid.  
 
Impact of Withdrawals on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and MGWB Base. Depending upon the
amount of the withdrawal, a partial withdrawal can impact the value of the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance
and the MGWB Base. All amounts withdrawn, with the exception of any amounts withdrawn from a Roth 403(b)
account, will be considered in determining the impact of the withdrawal on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed
Balance and the MGWB Base. Note that amounts that may have been classified as ineligible purchase payments will
also be considered in determining the impact of the withdrawal on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and
the MGWB Base.  
 
Withdrawals during each calendar year that cumulatively do not exceed the then-applicable MAW will decrease
the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance by the amount of each withdrawal, but will not result in a recalculation
of the MGWB Base. See APPENDIX VI – Example 1.
 
Any withdrawal that causes the cumulative withdrawals for the current calendar year to exceed the MAW will
immediately reduce the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and the MGWB Base to the lesser of:
· The MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance immediately prior to the withdrawal minus the amount of the
withdrawal; or  
· Your eligible account value immediately after the withdrawal.
 
See APPENDIX VI – Example 2.  
 
For purposes of determining whether the MAW has been exceeded, and the value of the MGWB Remaining
Guaranteed Balance, the amount of any withdrawal from the GAA will be the withdrawal amount reduced by any
negative MVA, but not increased by any positive MVA. See APPENDIX VI – Example 3. See also “Withdrawals
from the GAA” below, APPENDIX I, and the GAA prospectus.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 31

 


 

Similarly, for purposes of determining whether the MAW has been exceeded and the value of the MGWB
Remaining Guaranteed Balance, the amount of any withdrawal will be the amount after deduction of any early
withdrawal charge. See APPENDIX VI – Example 3. See also “Early Withdrawal Charges” below.
 
Withdrawals will be taken on a pro rata basis from each variable and fixed investment option unless you direct
otherwise. Withdrawals not taken on a pro rata basis as well as any withdrawal from a Fixed Allocation Investment
Option, whether or not taken on a pro rata basis, may result in MGWB Rebalancing. See “Investment Option
Restrictions” below.  
 
Early Withdrawal Charges. Amounts withdrawn up to the MAW are not subject to early withdrawal charges.
Amounts withdrawn in excess of the MAW are subject to any applicable early withdrawal charges.
 
Withdrawals from the GAA. Amounts withdrawn from the GAA are subject to any applicable market value
adjustment (“MVA”). See APPENDIX I and the GAA prospectus.
 
Required Minimum Distributions. To the extent a withdrawal is taken to satisfy the Required Minimum
Distribution (“RMD”) rules of the Tax Code applicable to your account, and such withdrawal exceeds the MAW for
a specific calendar year, the withdrawal will not cause a recalculation of the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance
or the MGWB Base, subject to the following rules:  
· If, on the first business day of any calendar year, a participant’s RMD for that calendar year, applicable to that
participant’s eligible account value, is greater than the MAW on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount
will be set on that date to be equal to that portion of the RMD that exceeds the MAW. Otherwise, the Additional
Withdrawal Amount will be set to zero;  
· Any withdrawals taken in a calendar year will count first against the MAW for that calendar year;
· Once the MAW for the then-current calendar year has been taken, additional amounts withdrawn in excess of the
MAW will count against and reduce any Additional Withdrawal Amount and are not considered withdrawals that
exceed the MAW;  
· Withdrawals that exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount will reduce the MGWB Base and MGWB
Remaining Guaranteed Balance, as described in “Impact of Withdrawals on the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed
Balance and MGWB Base” above. This will cause a recalculation of the MAW as described in “Calculating the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above; and  
· The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set to zero at the end of each calendar year and remains at zero until it is
recalculated the following calendar year. The Additional Withdrawal Amount, when recalculated, will not
include your RMD for a calendar year, or any portion thereof, which may otherwise be taken after the calendar
year’s end. Therefore, the timing of taking your RMD is important in preserving the maximum benefit of
the MGWB Endorsement.  
 
See APPENDIX VI – Example 4.  
 
Special rules may apply to withdrawals from certain investment options. See “Investment Option Restrictions”
below.  
 
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. As indicated in the Endorsement Withdrawal Options section above, if your
eligible account value is reduced to zero (other than by a withdrawal that exceeds the MAW) while the MGWB
Endorsement is in effect, the MGWB Endorsement will enter Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and MGWB
Periodic Payments will be paid in accordance with the endorsement withdrawal option you have elected. See
“MGWB Periodic Payments” below.  
 
If your eligible account value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal that exceeds the MAW, your account and the
MGWB Endorsement will terminate. In addition, all provisions of the contract will terminate with the exception of
any provisions relating to a Roth 403(b) account. Such provisions will continue to apply with respect to the Roth
403(b) account value only.  
 
When the MGWB Endorsement enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, the impacted participant account is
modified as follows:  
· Except for provisions relating to a Roth 403(b) account, no other benefits under the contract apply, other than as
provided under the MGWB Endorsement;  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 32

 


 

· No additional purchase payments will be accepted, except purchase payments made to a Roth 403(b) account;
· Any other endorsements will terminate unless otherwise specified under the applicable endorsement or except to
the extent that the MGWB Endorsement is applicable to the value in a Roth 403(b) account; and
· The impacted participant account (other than a Roth 403(b) account) and the MGWB Endorsement will terminate
at the earliest of:  
> Under endorsement withdrawal option A (non-life), payment of the final MGWB Periodic Payment; or
> Payment of the MGWB Death Benefit (see “MGWB Death Benefit” below).
 
If a participant is not receiving payments under a systematic distribution option at the time the MGWB Endorsement
enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and the MAW exceeds the partial withdrawals for that endorsement year
(including the partial withdrawal that caused the MGWB Endorsement to enter Automatic Periodic Benefit Status),
the excess of the MAW over such partial withdrawals will be paid immediately to the participant.
 
MGWB Periodic Payments. Upon entering Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you will begin to receive MGWB
Periodic Payments equal to the MAW on the date the MGWB Endorsement enters such status. Unless you are
receiving periodic payments under a systematic distribution option at the time Automatic Periodic Benefit Status
begins, you will receive MGWB Periodic Payments annually. If you are receiving periodic payments under a
systematic distribution option, MGWB Periodic Payments will begin with the next scheduled payment under this
option and will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of all payments in each calendar
year will equal the annual MGWB Periodic Payment.  
 
Once you have entered Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, MGWB Periodic Payments will continue in accordance
with the endorsement withdrawal option you have selected (see “Endorsement Withdrawal Options” above). In
the event you elected endorsement withdrawal option A (non-life) and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance
is less than or equal to the MAW at the time an MGWB Periodic Payment is due, that payment will equal the
MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and will be the final MGWB Periodic Payment.
 
MGWB Death Benefit. If you die while the MGWB Endorsement is in Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, MGWB
Periodic Payments will end and to the extent an MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance remains under the MGWB
Endorsement it will be payable as the MGWB Death Benefit. The MGWB Death Benefit will be payable in one
lump-sum to the person or persons entitled to death benefit proceeds under the contract.
 
MGWB Reset Option. While the MGWB Endorsement is in the Withdrawal Phase, you may elect to reset the
MGWB Base and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance to your eligible account value on the date we receive
the reset request in good order. Any additional MAW amount resulting from the reset may be withdrawn during the
remainder of that calendar year.  
 
The MGWB Reset Option is subject to the following requirements:
· We must receive your reset request in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company on or prior to an applicable reset option date;
· A reset may only be elected on a reset option date stated in your MGWB Endorsement schedule;
· Your eligible account value must be greater than the MGWB Base; and
· Your eligible account value must not have reached the maximum MGWB Base.
 
Currently, the reset option date is the first endorsement anniversary following the first day the MGWB Endorsement
enters the Withdrawal Phase and occurring every 12 months thereafter.
 
If the MGWB Reset Option is exercised we may, at our discretion, increase or decrease the MGWB Endorsement
Charge at the time of such exercise; however, it will never exceed the maximum MGWB Endorsement Charge
shown in “MGWB Endorsement Charge” above. If we issued the MGWB Endorsement in this form as of the reset
option date, the MGWB Endorsement Charge at time of reset will not exceed the charge then in effect for MGWB
Endorsements issued prior to April 29, 2011, as of the current MGWB Endorsement’s reset option date. In addition,
upon reset, the MGWB Endorsement will become subject to any investment option restrictions then in effect for
MGWB Endorsement issued at the time of reset.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 33

 


 

Investment Option Restrictions. In order to mitigate the insurance risk inherent in our guarantee to provide you
with guaranteed withdrawals (subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus), we require that your
eligible account value be allocated in accordance with certain limitations. In general, to the extent you choose not to
invest in Accepted Investment Options, we require that at least 25% of your eligible account value not so invested
be invested in the Fixed Allocation Investment Options. We will require this allocation regardless of your
investment instructions to the contrary as described below.
 
While the MGWB Endorsement is in effect, eligible account value allocated to investment options other than
Accepted Investment Options will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 25% of such eligible account value in the
Fixed Allocation Investment Options. See “MGWB Rebalancing” below.
 
Accepted Investment Options. Currently, the only Accepted Investment Option is the VY® Invesco Equity and
Income Portfolio. We may designate newly available investment options as Accepted Investment Options or
reclassify any existing investment options as Accepted Investment Options.
 
Conditional Investment Options. Conditional Investment Options consist of the following three categories:
· Fixed Allocation Investment Options: Currently, the Fixed Allocation Investment Options are the Voya Fixed
Account, the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and the GAA. We may add newly-available investment options
as Fixed Allocation Investment Options;  
· Restricted Investment Options: Currently, there are no investment options designated as Restricted Investment
Options. Transfers or deposits into Restricted Investment Options are not permitted while the MGWB
Endorsement is in effect. We may in the future designate newly-available investment options as Restricted
Investment Options; and  
· Other Investment Options: We call any investment not designated as a Fixed Allocation Investment Option,
Restricted Investment Option or Accepted Investment Option an “Other Investment Option.” Other Investment
Options are subject to restrictions as to the amount of eligible account value that may be invested or transferred
into such investment options.  
 
Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option. The Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio is designated as the Fixed
Rebalancing Investment Option.  
 
MGWB Rebalancing. If, on any MGWB Rebalancing Date (defined below), your eligible account value invested in
the Fixed Allocation Investment Options is less than 25% of your eligible account value invested in the Conditional
Investment Options, we will automatically rebalance your eligible account value allocated to the Conditional
Investment Options so that 25% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options. Any amount
so rebalanced will be allocated to the Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option. Accepted Investment Options are
excluded from MGWB Rebalancing. MGWB Rebalancing is done on a pro rata basis from the Other Investment
Options to the Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option and will be the last transaction processed on that date.
 
The MGWB Rebalancing Dates are as follows:  
· The endorsement date and any endorsement anniversary;
· Any day on which you withdraw amounts from the Fixed Allocation Investment Options;
· Any day on which you transfer or reallocate amounts from the Fixed Allocation Investment Options, whether
such transfer or reallocation is automatic or directed by you; and
· Any day on which we receive transfer/rollover amounts that are considered eligible purchase payments under the
MGWB Endorsement.  
 
See APPENDIX VI.  
 
MGWB Rebalancing will not occur on an MGWB Rebalancing Date if you are entirely invested in Accepted
Investment Options or if at least 25% of your eligible account value invested in the Conditional Investment Options
is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options.
 
MGWB Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the contract. However, if another
automatic rebalancing option under the contract causes your allocations to be out of compliance with the investment
option restrictions noted above, MGWB Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to
restore the required allocations.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 34

 


 

In certain circumstances MGWB Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Rebalancing Investment
Option even if you have not previously been invested in it. See APPENDIX VI. By electing to purchase the
MGWB Endorsement, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these
transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option.
 
Cancellation of the MGWB Endorsement. You may cancel the MGWB Endorsement on the fifth endorsement
anniversary, on the tenth endorsement anniversary or on any endorsement anniversary thereafter by providing us
written notice in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions:
Contacting the Company on or prior to the applicable endorsement anniversary.  
 
Other than as provided under “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” above, the MGWB Endorsement will
automatically terminate on the next valuation following the occurrence of the following:
· The MGWB Guaranteed Remaining Balance is reduced to zero (if a non life endorsement withdrawal option was
elected);    
· The contract is terminated in accordance with contractual provisions;  
· You initiate a loan;    
· You initiate income phase payments; or    
· You die.    
 
The MGWB Endorsement has no cash surrender value or other non-forfeiture benefits upon termination.
 
Federal Tax Considerations. We currently treat any amounts paid to you under the MGWB Endorsement while in
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status as income phase payments rather than withdrawals.

· ECO/Recurring RMD Payment - Estate Conservation Option. This  
option offers the same investment flexibility as SWO, but is designed for  
those who want to receive only the minimum distribution that the Tax Code

distribution amount required by law (generally at age 72 (age 70½ if born  
before July 1, 1949) or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a  
year.    
 
Other Systematic Distribution Options. We may add additional systematic distribution options from time to
time. You may obtain additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options from your local
representative or from us at the address and telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company.”    
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 35  

 


 

Availability of Systematic Distribution Options. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the availability of
a systematic distribution option and/or change the terms of future elections. If we discontinue the availability of a
systematic distribution option, we will continue to make payments to those participants who elected that option prior
to the date it became unavailable.    
 
Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option. Once a systematic distribution option is elected, you may revoke
it at any time by submitting a written request to the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company.” Any revocation will apply only to the amount not yet paid. Once an option
is revoked for an account, it may not be elected again until the next calendar year, nor may any other systematic
distribution option be elected unless the Tax Code permits it.  
 
Tax Consequences. Withdrawals received through these options and revocations of elections may have tax
consequences. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS.”  
 
 
LOANS    
 
Availability. You may take out a loan from your account value during the accumulation phase. Loans are only
allowed from amounts allocated to certain subaccounts and fixed interest options. Additional restrictions may apply
under the Tax Code, ERISA (if applicable), your plan or due to our administrative practices or those of a third party
administrator selected by your plan sponsor, and loans may be subject to approval by the plan sponsor or its
delegate. We reserve the right not to grant a loan request if the participant has an outstanding loan in default.
 
Requests. If you are eligible to obtain a loan, you may request one by telephone or, where applicable, electronically.
Contact Customer Service at the telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company” for information on how to request a loan. Read the terms of the loan
agreement before submitting any request.    
 
Loan Interest. Under the SUNY ORP contract, interest will be charged on loan amounts. The difference between
the rate charged and the rate credited on the loans under the SUNY ORP contract is currently 2.50% (i.e., a 2.50%
loan interest rate spread). The loan interest rate spread is retained by the Company. The loan interest rate spread for
SUNY Voluntary Plan contracts is 0.0%, meaning the amount of interest charged, if any, is equal to the amount
credited.

Payment Process:    
· Following your death, your beneficiary must provide the Company with proof of death acceptable to us and a
payment request in good order;    
· The payment request should include selection of a benefit payment option; and
· Within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and a payment request in good order
at Customer Service at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the
Company,” we will mail payment, unless otherwise requested.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 36  

 


 

Until one of the benefit payment options listed below is selected, account dollars will remain invested as at the
time of your death and no distribution will be made.  
 
Benefit Payment Options. If you die during the accumulation phase of your account, the following payment
options are available to your beneficiary, if allowed by the Tax Code:
· Lump-sum payment;  
· Payment in accordance with any of the available income phase payment options. See “INCOME PHASE –
  Income Phase Payment Options; or  
· Payment in accordance with an available systematic distribution option (subject to certain limitations). See
  “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS.”  
 
The beneficiary may also leave the account value invested in the contract, subject to Tax Code limits on the length
of time amounts may remain invested and subject to market fluctuation.
 
Guaranteed Death Benefit. Effective December 31, 2006, a guaranteed death benefit was made available under the
contract, which generally guarantees that the death benefit payable under the contract will never be less than the
amount of adjusted purchase payments made to your account (as defined below), less a proportional adjustment for
amounts withdrawn or borrowed from your account. The guaranteed death benefit applies to all death benefits
payable on or after December 31, 2006. There is no additional charge for the guaranteed death benefit.
 
Calculating the Value of the Death Benefit. The death benefit is guaranteed to be the greater of (a) or (b) as
calculated as of the next valuation following our receipt of proof of death and a payment request in good order at the
address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company,” where:
(a) is the adjusted purchase payment total, which is the sum of all purchase payment(s) to your account, minus a
  proportional adjustment for withdrawals and amounts taken as a loan, which amount will never be less than
  zero; and  
(b) is the current account value, excluding amounts taken as a loan, plus any positive aggregate market value
  adjustment, as applicable. See “APPENDIX I” and the GAA prospectus for further information regarding
  the market value adjustment.  
 
If the amount of (a) is greater than the amount in (b), the Company will deposit the difference in your account. The
amount, if any, will be credited to the Voya Government Money Market Portfolio and deposited as of the second
valuation (the date of the second close of the NYSE) following our receipt of proof of death acceptable to us and a
payment request in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions:
Contacting the Company.”  
 
If the beneficiary in that situation requests an immediate payment or begins income phase payments, the amount
paid will be the current account value, excluding any amounts taken as a loan, plus any positive market value
adjustment, as of the third valuation (the date of the third close of the NYSE) following our receipt of proof of death
acceptable to us and a payment request in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW
– Questions: Contacting the Company.”  
 
If the amount of (a) is less than the amount in (b) and the beneficiary requests an immediate payment or begins
income phase payments, the amount paid will be the current account value, excluding any amounts taken as a loan,
as of the second valuation (the date of the second close of the NYSE) following our receipt of proof of death
acceptable to us and a payment request in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW
– Questions: Contacting the Company.”  
 
In the event a beneficiary elects to defer distribution of the death benefit, the amount paid to the beneficiary when
the beneficiary elects to begin distribution of the death benefit will equal the current account value, excluding any
amounts taken as a loan, as of the next valuation (the date of the next close of the NYSE) following our receipt of
the distribution request. The amount paid may be more or less than the amount of the death benefit determined
above on the date notice of death and an election to defer payment was received. No additional death benefit is
payable upon the beneficiary’s death.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 37

 


 

Calculating Adjusted Purchase Payments. For accounts established on or after December 31, 2006, the
adjusted purchase payment total above is initially equal to the first purchase payment. For accounts established
before December 31, 2006, the adjusted purchase payment total is initially equal to the current account value,
excluding any amounts taken as a loan, as of the close of the NYSE on the last business day in December 2006 on
which the NYSE was open (December 29, 2006). For all accounts, the adjusted purchase payment total is then
adjusted for each subsequent purchase payment, loan repayment or partial withdrawal. The adjustment for
subsequent purchase payments and loan repayments will be dollar for dollar. The adjustment for partial withdrawals
will be proportionate, reducing the adjusted purchase payment total in the same proportion that the current account
value, excluding any amounts taken as loans, was reduced on the date of the partial withdrawal. The proportionate
adjustment of the adjusted purchase payment total for each partial withdrawal is defined as the adjusted purchase
payment total at that time, multiplied by the fraction A divided by B (A/B), where:
A is the current account value, excluding amounts taken as a loan, immediately after the partial withdrawal; and
B is the current account value, excluding amounts taken as a loan, before the partial withdrawal.
 
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 or tax 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
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“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.  
 
Tax Code Requirements. The Tax Code requires distribution of death benefit proceeds within a certain period of
time and these requirements have recently changed generally for deaths after January 1, 2020. Failure to begin
receiving death benefit payments within those time periods can result in tax penalties. Regardless of the method of
payment, death benefit proceeds will generally be taxed to the beneficiary in the same manner as if you had received
those payments. The CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the Tax Code rules applicable to the
distribution of the death benefit. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for additional information.
 
 
During the Accumulation Phase (SUNY ORP Plans only)
 
Payment Process:  
· Following your death, your beneficiary must provide the Company with proof of death acceptable to us and a
  payment request in good order;  
· The payment request should include selection of a benefit payment option; and
· Within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and a payment request in good order
  at Customer Service at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the
  Company,” we will mail payment, unless otherwise requested.
 
Until one of the benefit payment options listed below is selected, account dollars will remain invested as at the time
of your death and no distribution will be made.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 38

 


 

Benefit Payment Options. If you die during the accumulation phase of your account, the following payment
options are available to your beneficiary, if allowed by the Tax Code:
· Lump-sum payment;  
· Payment in accordance with any of the available income phase payment options. See “INCOME PHASE –
  Income Phase Payment Options; or  
· Payment in accordance with an available systematic distribution option (subject to certain limitations). See
  “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS.”  
 
The beneficiary may also leave the account value invested in the contract, subject to Tax Code limits on the length
of time amounts may remain invested and subject to market fluctuation.
 
The Value of the Death Benefit. The death benefit will be based on your account value as calculated on the next
valuation following the date on which we receive proof of death and a death claim in good order. Interest on
amounts invested in the fixed interest options, if any, will be paid from the date of death at a rate no less than
required by law. For amounts held in the GAA, any positive aggregate market value adjustment (the sum of all
market value adjustments calculated due to a withdrawal) will be included in your account value. We will not apply
a negative aggregate market value adjustment in connection with the payment of a death benefit, regardless of when
the request for payment is made. We describe the market value adjustment in APPENDIX I and in the GAA
prospectus.  
 
The contracts provide a guaranteed death benefit that can be elected within the first six months after your death. A
beneficiary who (i) elects an income phase payment option; (ii) takes a total distribution of the account; or (iii) if the
beneficiary is your spouse, registers the account in his or her name, may elect to receive the guaranteed death benefit
provided he or she has notified the Company of such election within six months after the participant’s death. The
guaranteed death benefit is the greater of A or B, where:
A Is the sum of payments (minus any applicable premium tax) made to your account, minus a dollar for dollar
  adjustment for amounts withdrawn, taken as a loan or applied to an income phase payment option from your
  account; or  
B Is your account value, minus any outstanding loan balance, and plus any positive aggregate market value
  adjustment that applies to amounts allocated to the GAA on the date that notice of death and request for payment
  or notice of election of the death benefit are received in good order at the address referenced under
  CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.”
 
For accounts established on or after February 1, 2004, the adjustment for amounts withdrawn, taken as a loan or
applied to an income phase payment option from your account in (A) above will be proportionate (i.e., the sum of
payments will be reduced in the same proportion that the account value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal or
application to an income phase payment option), if it would result in a higher death benefit.
 
A beneficiary may not make this election after he or she has initiated income phase payments or has taken a total
account distribution.  
 
If the amount of (A) is greater than the amount in (B), the Company will deposit to the account the amount by which
the death benefit exceeds the account value. The amount paid to the beneficiary will equal the account value on the
date the payment request is processed. The amount paid to the beneficiary may be more or less than the amount of
the death benefit determined in (A) when the notice of death was received.
 
If the beneficiary’s election of the death benefit is made more than six months after your death, the death benefit will
be equal to the account value plus any positive aggregate market value adjustment.
 
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 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 or tax 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
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and, as part of our general account, is subject to the claims

INCOME PHASE    
 
During the income phase you stop contributing dollars to your account We may have used the following
and start receiving payments from your accumulated account value. terms in prior prospectuses:
 
Initiating Payments. At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start · Annuity Phase – Income Phase
receiving income phase payments, you must notify us in writing of the  
following:   · Annuity Option – Payment
· Payment start date;   Option
· Income phase payment option (see the income phase payment options  
table in this section);   · Annuity Payment – Income
· Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or Phase Payment
annually);    
· Choice of fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable · Annuitization – Initiating
payments; and   Income Phase Payments
· Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable  
payments are elected).    
 
The account will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly initiate income phase payments. Once an
income phase payment option is selected, it may not be changed; however, certain options allow you to withdraw a
lump-sum.    
 
What Affects Income Phase Payments? Some of the factors that may affect income phase payments include: your
age, your account value, the income phase payment option selected (including the frequency and duration of
payments under the option selected), number of guaranteed payments (if any) selected, and whether you select
variable or fixed payments. As a general rule, more frequent income phase payments will result in smaller individual
income phase payments. Likewise, income phase payments that are anticipated over a longer period of time will also
result in smaller individual income phase payments.    
 
Fixed Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held in the Company’s general account.
Fixed payment amounts do not vary over time.    
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 40  

 


 

Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments will be held in the subaccount(s)
selected. The contracts may restrict the subaccounts available during the income phase. You may make up to 12
transfers per calendar year among available variable investment options. The subaccounts available for investment
during the income phase may be different than those available for investment during the accumulation phase. For
information about the subaccounts available during the income phase, please contact Customer Service at the
telephone number referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” For
variable income phase payments, an assumed net investment rate must be selected.
 
Payments from Fixed Plus Account Values. If a nonlifetime income phase payment option is selected, only fixed
income phase payments may be made from amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account and Fixed Plus Account II A
during the accumulation phase.  
 
Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase payments, you must also select an assumed net
investment rate of either 5% or 3.50%. If you select a 5% rate, your first payment will be higher, but subsequent
payments will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts selected is greater than 5% annually,
after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction
of fees.  
 
If you select a 3.50% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and subsequent payments will increase
more rapidly or decline more slowly depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts selected. For
more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, request a copy of the SAI by calling the
Company. See “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.”
 
Required Minimum Payment Amounts. The income phase payment option selected must result in one or both of
the following:  
· A first income phase payment of at least $20; or  
· Total yearly income phase payments of at least $100.
 
If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, you must elect a lump-sum payment.
 
Charges Deducted. When you select an income phase payment option (one of the options listed in the tables on the
following page), a mortality and expense risk charge, consisting of a daily deduction of 1.25% on an annual basis,
will be deducted from amounts held in the subaccounts. This charge compensates us for mortality and expense risks
we assume under variable income phase payout options and is applicable to all variable income phase payout
options, including variable nonlifetime options under which we do not assume mortality risk. In this situation, this
charge will be used to cover expenses. Although we expect to earn a profit from this fee, we do not always do so.
We may also deduct a daily administrative charge of 0.25% annually from amounts held in the subaccounts. For
variable options under which we do not assume a mortality risk, we may make a larger profit than under other
options.  
 
Death Benefit During the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available to a beneficiary are
outlined in the following “Income Phase Payment Options” table. If a lump-sum payment is due as a death benefit,
we will make payment within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us in good order and
the payment request at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the
Company:” 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 deaths occurring after January 1, 2020. Failure to meet
these rules can result in tax penalties. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Taxation of Qualified
Contracts – Required Distributions Upon Death” for the distribution rules imposed by the Tax Code.

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 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 or tax adviser before choosing a settlement or
payment option. See “DEATH BENEFIT – The Retained Asset Account” for more information about the
retained asset account.

  to 30 years. However, for amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account and Fixed Plus Account II A
  during the accumulation phase, the payment must be on a fixed basis and must be for 6 to 30
Nonlifetime- years. In certain cases a lump-sum payment may be requested at any time (see below).
Guaranteed      
Payments* Death Benefit-Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we make all the
  guaranteed payments, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining payments. Unless
  prohibited by a prior election of the contract owner, the beneficiary may elect to receive a lump-
 
 
  sum payment equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments.
* Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until you attain age 95.
 
 
Lump-Sum Payment: If the “Nonlifetime-Guaranteed Payments” option is elected with variable payments, you
may request at any time that all or a portion of the present value of the remaining payments be paid in one lump-
sum. Lump-sum payments will be sent within seven calendar days after we receive the request for payment in good
order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.”
 
Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments. If a lump-sum payment is available to a beneficiary or to you in the options
above, the rate we use to calculate the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments is the same rate we use to
calculate the income phase payments (i.e., the actual fixed rate used for fixed payments, or the 3.50% or 5.0%
assumed net investment rate for variable payments).

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 contracts with 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.
 
Qualified Contracts. The contracts described in this prospectus may be purchased on a tax-qualified basis
(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),
403(b) and 414(h) of the Tax Code. Employers or individuals intending to use the contracts with such plans
should seek legal and/or advice.  
 
Roth Accounts. Tax Code Section 402A allows employees of public schools and certain Tax Code 501(c)
organizations offering 403(b) plans to contribute after-tax salary contributions to a Roth 403(b) account. 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 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);
· 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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 44

 


 

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 contracts may be purchased with the following retirement plans and programs to accumulate retirement savings:
· 401(a) Plans. Section 401(a) of the Tax Code permits certain employers to establish various types of retirement
  plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their
  employees; and  
· 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code allows employees of certain Tax Code Section
  501(c) 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.
 
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 Section 403(b) Plans. In addition to being offered as an investment option under the
contracts, shares of certain funds are also offered for sale directly to the general public. A list of these funds is
provided in “INVESTMENT OPTIONS– Funds Available Through the Separate Account – Public Funds.”
In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Tax Code Section 403(b), a contract must be considered an
“annuity.” In Revenue Procedure 99-44, the IRS concluded that it will treat a contract as an annuity for federal
income tax purposes under Tax Code Section 403(b), notwithstanding that contract purchase payments are invested
at the contract owner’s direction in publicly available securities. This treatment will be available provided no
additional tax liability would have been incurred if the contribution was paid by the contract holder’s employer into
a trust or a custodial account in an arrangement that satisfied the requirements of Tax Code Section 401(a) or
403(b)(7)(A). We believe that the contract satisfies the requirements set forth in Revenue Procedure 99-44 and will
therefore be treated as an annuity for tax purposes, notwithstanding the fact that investments may be made in
publicly available securities. However, the exact nature of the requirements of Revenue Procedure 99-44 are
unclear, and you should consider consulting with a tax and/or legal adviser before electing to invest in a fund that is
offered for sale to the general public through a contract issued in relation to a 403(b) plan.
 
Revenue Procedure 99-44 was issued before 403(b) plans could offer a Roth contribution feature. However, we
believe that this analysis should not impact the treatment of such contracts as annuity contracts for purposes of Tax
Code Section 403(b). You should consider consulting with a tax and/or adviser before electing to invest in a fund
that is offered for sale to the general public through a contract issued in relation to a Roth 403(b) account.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 45

 


 

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.
 
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 programs, regardless of
the terms and conditions of the contract. The Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans and
programs to the extent such terms contradict the language of the contract, unless we consent in writing.
 
Contract holders, 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 legal and/or 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), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. The total annual contributions (including pre-tax and 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 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 403(b) contributions, purchase payments to your account(s) will generally be
excluded from your gross income only if the plan meets certain nondiscrimination requirements, as applicable. Roth
403(b) salary reduction contributions are made on an after-tax basis.
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 46

 


 

Catch-up Contributions. Notwithstanding the contribution limits noted above, if permitted by the plan, a
participant in a 403(b) or Roth 403(b) plan of a government employer 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.
 
For advice with respect to these catch-up provisions, please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser.
 
Distributions - General  
 
Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contracts. 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) and 403(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 or Roth 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.  
 
Please note that a distribution of a pre-tax account is reported as a taxable distribution, even if you roll over the
distribution within 60 days.  
 
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 (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.
 
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) or 403(b) plan (collectively, “qualified plans”).
 
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”).  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 47

 


 

The Tax Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalty taxes in other circumstances.
 
Qualified Distributions - Roth 403(b). A partial or full distribution of purchase payments to a Roth 403(b) 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 403(b) 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  
· 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.
 
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 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.
 
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.81216-20 48

 


 

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.
 
Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (401(a), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans)
 
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) 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 (age 70½ 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.  
 
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.  
 
Further information regarding required minimum distributions may be found in your contract or certificate.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 49

 


 

Required Distributions Upon Death (401(a), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans)
 
Upon your death, any remaining interest in a 403(b) and Roth 403(b) 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.  
 
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, 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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 50

 


 

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, and we may require additional
documentation prior to processing any requested distribution.
 
401(a), 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans. 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 other distributions described
in the Tax Code.  
 
Non-resident Aliens. If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, any withholding will generally
be 30% based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and tax treaty status.
 
In-Plan Roth Rollovers  
 
Tax Code Section 403(b) plans may add a “qualified Roth contribution program,” under which, if available,
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 403(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 403(b)” section above.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 51

 


 

In-plan Roth rollovers are not subject to the 10% additional tax on early distributions under Code Section 72(t) that
would normally apply to distributions from a 403(b) plan to the extent such amounts are attributable to rollovers
from a 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, 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), 403(b) and Roth 403(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.
 
Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits
 
Living Benefits. Except as otherwise noted below, when a full or partial withdrawal from a contract occurs under a
minimum guaranteed withdrawal benefit rider, 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 deferred sales
charge) immediately before the distribution over the investment in the contract at that time.
 
Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract previously included in
your gross income, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans,
assignments, or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. The income on the
contract for purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear. For example, the living
benefits provided under the MGWB Endorsement could increase the contract value that applies. Thus, the income
on the contract could be higher than the amount of income that would be determined without regard to such a
benefit. As a result, you could have higher amounts of income than will be reported to you. In addition, payments
under any guaranteed payment phase of such riders may be subject to the exclusion ratio rules under Tax Code
Section 72(b) for tax purposes. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser about the tax consequences of living
benefits.  
 
Enhanced Death Benefits. The contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of purchase payments
and the contract value. It is possible that the IRS could characterize such a death benefit as other than an incidental
death benefit, which may result in currently taxable income and could affect the amount of required minimum
distributions. Additionally, because certain charges are imposed with respect to some of the available death benefits
it is possible these charges (or some portion thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from
the contract. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser about the tax consequences of enhanced death benefits.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 52

 


 

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, and 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 the FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation. Voya Financial Partners, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 06095-
4774.  
 
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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 53

 


 

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 holders 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 commissions paid on transferred assets range from 0% to 7%. The commission paid on recurring
payments made during the first year of the participant account range from 0% to 7%. After the first year of the
participant account, renewal commissions up to 3% may be paid on recurring payments up to the amount of the
previous year’s payments, and commissions of up to 7% may be paid on recurring payments in excess of this
amount. In addition, the Company may pay an asset-based commission ranging up to 0.50%, and may also pay asset
based compensation equal to 0.10% of systematic distribution option payments, including payments under the
MGWB Endorsement. See “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS” and “OPTIONAL MINIMUM
GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ENDORSEMENT.”
 
We may also pay ongoing annual compensation of up to 40% of the commissions paid during the year in connection
with certain purchase payments received during that year, if the registered representative attains a certain threshold
of sales of Company contracts. Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation
paid to their distributor, depending upon the firm’s practices. Commissions and annual payments, when combined,
could exceed 7% of total purchase payments. In certain situations, we may reduce the compensation we pay if we
have agreed with a plan sponsor to reimburse expenses related to the services of the plan’s third party administrator.
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. Under
one such program, we may pay additional amounts to distributors in connection with a participant’s increased or re-
started contributions and/or the number of participant enrollments completed by a registered representative during a
specified time period. These other promotional incentives or payments may be limited to contracts offered to certain
plans, 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 commission rates 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 54

 


 

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
over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts and/or
services over another.    
 
The names of the distributor and the registered representative responsible for your account are stated in your
enrollment materials.    
 
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;
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 55  

 


 

· 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. We
are not currently making any such payments in connection with the sale of these contracts; and
· At the direction of the contract owner, the Company may make payments to the contract owner, 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.
 
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 Customer Service in writing at the address referenced
under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company” or by calling 1-800-584-6001.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 56

 


 

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.
 
Transfer of Ownership; Assignment  
 
No assignment of a contract will be binding on us unless made in writing and sent to us at the address
referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” We will use reasonable
procedures to confirm that the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature. If we fail to follow our
own procedures, we will be liable for any losses to you directly resulting from the failure. Otherwise, we are not
responsible for the validity of any assignment. The rights of the contract owner and the interest of the annuitant and
any beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee of record.
 
Contract Modification  
 
We may change the contract as required by federal or state law, including any future changes necessary to maintain
the contract or account as a designated Roth 403(b) annuity contract or account under the Tax Code, regulations,
IRS rulings or requirements. In addition, unless we are otherwise restricted under the terms of the contract, we may,
generally, upon 30 days’ written notice (some provisions under the contract may require a longer notice period) to
the contract holder, make other changes to group contracts that would apply only to individuals who become
participants under that contract after the effective date of such changes. If the group contract holder does not agree
to a change, we reserve the right to refuse to establish new accounts under the contract. Certain changes will require
the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities.
 
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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 57

 


 

· 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.    
 
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 weekend and holidays) 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 fairly to determine the value of the subaccount’s
assets; or    
· During any other periods the SEC may by order permit 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.
 
Intent to Confirm Quarterly    
 
We will provide confirmation of scheduled transactions quarterly rather than immediately to the participant.

APPENDIX I
 
GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT

 
Effective December 1, 2017, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (“GAA”) will close to new allocations through
the SUNY ORP contracts. Amounts currently held in the GAA on and after December 1, 2017, may remain
invested in the GAA until the end of the guaranteed term, but transfers and withdrawals prior to the end of the
guaranteed term will be subject to a market value adjustment (“MVA”). If at the end of a GAA guaranteed term the
Company has not received new allocation instructions, amounts held in the maturing guaranteed term will
automatically be allocated to a new guaranteed term as follows, based on availability:
· To a guaranteed term of the same duration, if available;
· To a guaranteed term with the next shortest duration, if available; or
· To a guaranteed term with the next longest duration.  
 
 
Additional information about this option may be found in the contract and an endorsement to the contract.
 
 
The GAA is a fixed interest option that may be available during the accumulation phase under the contracts.
Amounts allocated to GAA will be deposited in a nonunitized separate account established by the Company. This
appendix is only a summary of certain facts about GAA. Please read the GAA prospectus before investing in this
option. You may obtain a copy of the GAA prospectus by contacting us at the address or telephone number
referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company.” The GAA may not be
available in all contracts or states, and if permitted under the contract we may close or restrict the Guaranteed
Accumulation Account to current or future investment.  
 
General Disclosure. Amounts that you invest in GAA will earn a guaranteed interest rate if amounts are left in
GAA for the specified period of time. If you withdraw or transfer those amounts before the specified period of time
has elapsed, we may apply a “market value adjustment,” which may be positive or negative.
 
When you decide to invest money in GAA, you will want to contact your representative or the Company to learn:
· The interest rate we will apply to the amounts that you invest in GAA. We change this rate periodically, so be
certain you know what rate we guarantee on the day your account dollars are invested into GAA.
· The period of time your account dollars need to remain in GAA in order to earn that rate. You are required to
leave your account dollars in GAA for a specified period of time (guaranteed term), in order to earn the
guaranteed interest rate.  
 
Deposit Periods. A deposit period is the time during which we offer a specific interest rate if you deposit dollars for
a certain guaranteed term. For a particular interest rate and guaranteed term to apply to your account dollars, you
must invest them during the deposit period during which that rate and term are offered.
 
Interest Rates. We guarantee different interest rates, depending upon when account dollars are invested in GAA.
The interest rate we guarantee is an annual effective yield; that means that the rate reflects a full year’s interest. We
credit interest daily at a rate that will provide the guaranteed annual effective yield over one year. The guaranteed
interest rate will never be less than the rate stated in the contract.
 
Our guaranteed interest rates are influenced by, but do not necessarily correspond with, interest rates available on
fixed income investments we may buy using deposits directed to GAA. We consider other factors when determining
guaranteed interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses
borne by the Company, general economic trends and competitive factors. We make the final determination
regarding guaranteed interest rates. We cannot predict the level of future guaranteed interest rates.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 59

 


 

Fees and Other Deductions. If all or a portion of your account value in GAA is withdrawn, you may incur the
following:  
· Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”) – as described in this appendix and in the GAA prospectus;
· Tax Penalties and/or Tax withholding – see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS;” or
· Early Withdrawal Charge - see “FEES.”  
 
We do not make deductions from amounts in GAA to cover mortality and expense risks. Rather, we consider these
risks when determining the credited rate.  
 
Market Value Adjustment. If you withdraw or transfer your account value from GAA before the guaranteed term
is completed, an MVA may apply. The MVA reflects the change in the value of the investment due to changes in
interest rates since the date of deposit. The MVA may be positive or negative as follows:
· If you have elected RRP as described in “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS,” no MVA applies to
amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account.
· If interest rates at the time of withdrawal have increased since the date of deposit, the value of the investment
decreases and the MVA will be negative. This could result in your receiving less than the amount you paid into
GAA.  
· If interest rates at the time of withdrawal have decreased since the date of deposit, the value of the investment
increases and the MVA will be positive.  
 
Guaranteed Terms. The guaranteed term is the period of time account dollars must be left in GAA in order to earn
the guaranteed interest rate specified for that guaranteed term. We offer different guaranteed terms at different times.
Check with your sales representative or us at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company” to learn the details about the guaranteed term(s) currently being offered.
 
In general, we offer the following guaranteed terms:  
· Short-term – three years or fewer; and  
· Long-term – ten years or less, but greater than three years.
 
At the end of a guaranteed term, you may:  
· Transfer dollars to a new guaranteed term, if available;
· Transfer dollars to other available investment options; or
· Withdraw dollars.  
 
Deductions may apply to withdrawals. See “Fees and Other Deductions” in this section.
 
Transfer of Account Dollars. Generally, account dollars invested in GAA may be transferred among guaranteed
terms offered through GAA and/or to other investment options offered through the contract. However, transfers may
not be made during the deposit period in which your account dollars are invested in GAA or for 90 days after the
close of that deposit period. We will apply an MVA to transfers made before the end of a guaranteed term.
 
Income Phase. GAA cannot be used as an investment option during the income phase. However, you may notify us
at least 30 days in advance to elect a variable payment option and to transfer your GAA account dollars to any of the
subaccounts available during the income phase.  
 
Loans. You cannot take a loan from your account value in the GAA. However, we include your account value in the
GAA when determining the amount of your account value we may distribute as a loan.
 
Reinvesting Amounts Withdrawn from GAA. If amounts are withdrawn from GAA and then reinvested in GAA,
we will apply the reinvested amount to the current deposit period. This means that the guaranteed annual interest
rate and guaranteed terms available on the date of reinvestment will apply. Amounts will be reinvested
proportionately in the same way as they were allocated before withdrawal. Your account value will not be credited
for any negative MVA that was deducted at the time of withdrawal. Your account value will not be credited for any
negative MVA that was deducted at the time of withdrawal.

MGWB Endorsement. For information regarding investing in the GAA while the MGWB Endorsement is in effect,
please see “OPTIONAL MINIMUM GUARANTEED WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT ENDORSEMENT.”
 
Reinstating Amounts Withdrawn from the GAA. If amounts are withdrawn from the GAA and then reinstated in
the GAA, we will apply the reinstated amount to the current deposit period. This means that the guaranteed annual
interest rate and guaranteed terms available on the date of reinstatement will apply. Amounts will be reinstated
proportionately in the same way as they were allocated before withdrawal.

APPENDIX II
 
FIXED ACCOUNT
 
(Available through the SUNY Voluntary Plan Contracts)
 
The Fixed Account is an investment option that may be available during the accumulation phase under the contracts.
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are held in the Company’s general account which supports insurance and
annuity obligations. The Fixed Account is only available under installment purchase payment contracts.
 
 
Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.

 
 
General Disclosure. Interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered with the SEC in reliance on
exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus about the Fixed Account
may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and
completeness of the statements. Disclosure in this appendix regarding the Fixed Account has not been reviewed by
the SEC.  
 
Interest Rates. The Fixed Account guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum interest
rate specified in the contract. We may credit interest at a current rate that may be higher than the guaranteed
minimum interest rate and the current rate may be changed at any time, except that we will not apply a decrease to
the current rate following a rate change initiated solely by us prior to the last day of the three-month period
measured from the first day of the month in which such change was effective. Among other factors, the safety of the
interest rate guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the Company. Amounts applied to the Fixed
Account will earn the interest rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Account will reflect
a compound interest rate as credited by us. The rate we quote is an annual effective yield. There may be multiple
interest rates in effect under the contract at any given time.
 
Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, which may include mortality and expense
risks, interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital
gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain
or loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and income
phase payment.  
 
Charges. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We
consider these risks when determining the credited rate. If you make a withdrawal from amounts in the Fixed
Account, an early withdrawal charge may apply. See “FEES – Early Withdrawal Charge.”
 
Transfers. During the accumulation phase, you may transfer account dollars from the Fixed Account to any other
available investment option. There is no limit on the number of transfers that you can make out of the Fixed Account
in a calendar year. However, we only allow you to transfer amounts that equal your account value in the Fixed
Account multiplied by the current maximum percentage of the transfer allowed (the “window”) minus any previous
transfers you made from this option during the calendar year. The “window” percentage may vary from time to time
but will not be less than 10% or greater than 100%. We will waive the transfer limit when your account value in the
Fixed Account is $2,000 or less.
 
Income Phase. By notifying us at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions:
Contacting the Company” at least 30 days before income phase payments begin, you may elect to have amounts
transferred to one or more of the subaccounts available during the income phase to provide variable payments.
 
Loans. If available under your plan, loans may be made from account values held in the Fixed Account.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 62

 


 

APPENDIX III
 
FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT
 
(Available through the SUNY ORP Contracts)

 
The Fixed Plus Account is an investment option that may be available under the contracts. Amounts allocated to the
Fixed Plus Account are held in the Company’s general account which supports insurance and annuity obligations.
 
Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.

 
General Disclosure. Interests in the Fixed Plus Account have not been registered with the SEC in reliance on
exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus about the Fixed Plus
Account may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the
accuracy and completeness of the statements. Disclosure in this appendix regarding the Fixed Plus Account has not
been reviewed by the SEC.
 
Interest Rates. The Fixed Plus Account guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum
interest rate specified in the contract. We may credit interest at a current rate that may be higher than the guaranteed
minimum interest rate and the current rate may be changed at any time, except that we will not apply a decrease to
the current rate following a rate change initiated solely by us prior to the last day of the three-month period
measured from the first day of the month in which such change was effective. Among other factors, the safety of the
interest rate guarantees depends upon the claims-paying ability of the Company. We credit amounts held in the
Fixed Plus Account with a rate 0.25% higher than the then-declared rate beginning in the tenth year after your
account was established. Amounts applied to the Fixed Plus Account will earn the interest rate in effect at the time
money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Plus Account will reflect a compound interest rate as credited by us. The
rate we quote is an annual effective yield. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Plus Account to
cover mortality and expense risks. We consider these risks in determining the credited rate.
 
Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, which may include mortality and expense
risks, interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital
gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain
or loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and income
phase payment.  
 
Partial Withdrawal. Partial withdrawals are limited to 20% of the amount held in the Fixed Plus Account on
the day we receive a request in good order at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW –
Questions: Contacting the Company.” The 20% limit is reduced by any Fixed Plus withdrawals, loans, transfers
or income phase payments made in the last 12 months. In calculating the 20% limit, we reserve the right to include
payments made through a Systematic Distribution Option.
 
Full Withdrawal. If the contract owner or you, if allowed by the plan, request a full withdrawal of your account
value, we will pay any amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account, with interest, in five annual payments equal to:
· One-fifth of the Fixed Plus Account value on the day we receive the request, reduced by any Fixed Plus Account
withdrawals, transfers, loans or income phase payments made during the past 12 months;
· One-fourth of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later;
· One-third of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later;
· One-half of the remaining Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later; and
· The balance of the Fixed Plus Account value 12 months later.
 
A full withdrawal may be canceled at any time before the end of the five-payment period.
 
Once a request is received for a full withdrawal, no further withdrawals, loans, or transfers will be permitted from
the Fixed Plus Account. Your request may be cancelled at any time before the end of the five-year period. If any
contributions are received to your account at any time during the five-year payment period, the full withdrawal will
be cancelled and your Fixed Plus Account installment payments will cease. If your full withdrawal is cancelled
(either by your request or due to receipt of a contribution to your account), a new five-year payment period will
begin upon any future full withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 63

 


 

We will waive the above full withdrawal five-payment period and pay the amount in a lump-sum if the full
withdrawal is made due to any of the following:  
· Your death before income phase payments have begun;
· Election of any income phase payment option with fixed payments or a lifetime payment option with variable
payments;  
· Your separation from service (provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply due to a severance from
employment that would not otherwise qualify as a separation from service) and when:
· Separation from service is documented in a form acceptable to us; and
· The amount paid for all withdrawals due to separation from service during the previous 12 months does not
exceed 20% of the average value of all employee accounts during that period; or
· Due to your financial hardship as defined in the Tax Code and when:
· If applicable, certified by your employer; and  
· The amount paid for all withdrawals due to financial hardship the previous 12 months does not exceed 20%
of the average value of all employee accounts during that period; or
· The Fixed Plus Account value is $5,000 or less.  
 
The 20% annual limit on partial withdrawals of the Fixed Plus Account value will also be waived for the above
reasons, except that a partial withdrawal waiver will not be allowed if the Fixed Plus Account value is $5,000 or
less.  
 
Alternative Payment of Fixed Plus Account Values. As an alternative to the payment of Fixed Plus Account
values in five annual payments, the contract owner may instead elect an alternative method of payment.
 
Under the alternative method of payment, within 60 days of the proposed withdrawal date, the contract owner must
notify the Company that it intends to surrender the entire contract. Within 30 days after receiving that notice, the
Company will tell the contract owner the specific period and interest rate that would apply to a complete surrender
of the contract in level, annual payments for a period of up to ten years. Under that payment method, the Company
may reduce the interest rate credited to the Fixed Plus Account up to 1.50% from the interest rate being credited
upon the date of withdrawal and the interest rate would remain constant throughout the payment period.
 
When the contract owner receives the specific information from the Company about the alternative method of
payment, the contract owner must irrevocably elect in writing to use either the alternative method of payment, or the
payment of Fixed Plus Account values in five annual payments.
 
Transfers. Transfers are limited to 20% of the amount held in the Fixed Plus Account on the day a request in
good order is received at the address referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the
Company.” The 20% limit is reduced by any Fixed Plus Account withdrawals, transfers, loans or income phase
payments made in the past 12 months. We reserve the right to include payments made through a Systematic
Distribution Option in calculating the 20% limit. The 20% limit will be waived if your account value in Fixed Plus
Account is $5,000 or less.  
 
If you transfer 20% of your account value held in the Fixed Plus Account in each of four consecutive 12-month
periods, you may transfer the remaining balance in the succeeding 12-month period provided you do not allocate
any amount to or transfer any other amount from the Fixed Plus Account during the five-year period. The 20%
amount available to transfer under this provision will be reduced by any amount surrendered, transferred, taken as a
loan or applied to income phase payment options within the 12-month period preceding the first 20% transfer. Also,
we may reduce it for payments we made from your Fixed Plus Account value under any Systematic Distribution
Option.  
 
Income Phase. Amounts accumulating under the Fixed Plus Account can be transferred to the subaccounts to fund
variable lifetime income phase payment options during the income phase. However, Fixed Plus Account values may
not be used to fund nonlifetime income options with variable payments.
 
Loans. Loans may be made from account values held in the Fixed Plus Account. See the loan agreement for a
description of the amount available and possible consequences upon loan default if Fixed Plus Account values are
used for a loan.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 64

 


 

APPENDIX IV
 
FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT II A
 
(Available through the SUNY ORP Contracts)

 
Beginning on December 1, 2017, the Fixed Plus Account II A is added as an investment option available through the
SUNY ORP contracts, and the Fixed Plus Account (hereinafter referred to as the “closed fixed account”), is closed
to new contributions, allocations and transfers. All contributions, allocations and transfers directed to the closed
fixed account will automatically be contributed, allocated or transferred to the Fixed Plus Account II A.
 
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Plus Account II A are held in the Company’s general account which supports our
insurance and annuity obligations.
 
 
Additional information about this option may be found in an endorsement to the contract.

 
 
General Disclosure. Interests in the Fixed Plus Account II A 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
Plus Account II A may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to
the accuracy and completeness of the statements. Disclosure in this appendix regarding the Fixed Plus Account II A
has not been reviewed by the SEC.
 
Certain Restrictions. We reserve the right to limit investments in or transfers to the Fixed Plus Account II A. You
may not elect certain withdrawal options, including the systematic distribution option, if you have requested a Fixed
Plus Account II A transfer or withdrawal in the prior 12-month period. Under certain emergency conditions and
subject to conditions under state and/or federal law, if applicable, we may defer payment of a withdrawal from the
Fixed Plus Account II A for a period of up to six months.
 
Interest Rates. The Fixed Plus Account II A guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum
interest rate specified in the contract. We may credit interest at a current rate that may be higher than the guaranteed
minimum interest rate and the current rate may be changed at any time, except that we will not apply a decrease to
the current rate following a rate change initiated solely by us prior to the last day of the three-month period
measured from the first day of the month in which such change was effective. Among other factors, the safety of the
interest rate guarantees depends upon the claims-paying ability of the Company. Amounts applied to the Fixed Plus
Account II A will earn the interest rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Plus Account II
A will reflect a compound interest rate as credited by us. The rate we quote is an annual effective yield.
 
Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, which may include mortality and expense
risks, interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets, the amortization of any capital gains
and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets, and whether a transfer credit, if applicable, has been selected.
Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain or loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this
option and promising a minimum interest rate and income phase payment.
 
Requests for Partial Withdrawals. The contract holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may take up to 20% of the
Fixed Plus Account II A value as a partial withdrawal in each rolling 12-month period. We determine the amount
eligible for partial withdrawal as of the date we receive a request for partial withdrawal in good order at the address
referenced under “CONTRACT OVERVIEW - Questions: Contacting the Company.” The amount allowed for
partial withdrawal is reduced by any Fixed Plus Account II A withdrawals, transfers, loans or amounts applied to
income phase payment options made in the prior 12 months. In calculating the 20% limit, we reserve the right to
include payments made due to the election of a systematic distribution option. We reserve the right to impose new
or different restrictions and limits applicable to partial withdrawals.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 65

 


 

Waiver of Partial Withdrawal Limits. We waive the 20% limit if the partial withdrawal is due to the election of an
income phase payment option (contracts with the Fixed Plus Account II A option require that the income phase
payment option be a lifetime annuity option or a nonlifetime option on a fixed basis). We also waive the 20% limit
for withdrawals due to your death.  
 
For certain plans and subject to certain conditions we may allow other waivers of the 20% limit on partial
withdrawals including, but not limited to, partial withdrawals:
Due to your separation from service (provided, however, that severance of employment must qualify as
  separation from service under Tax Code) and when:
  > Separation from service is documented in a form acceptable to us;
  > The amount withdrawn is paid directly to you or as a direct rollover to another Tax Code Section 403(b),
    401 or governmental 457(b) plan or an Individual Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity
    designated by you; and  
  > The amount paid for all partial and full withdrawals due to separation from service during the previous 12-
    month period does not exceed 20% of the average value of all your account(s) and all other accounts under
    the relevant contract during that same period.  
As defined in the Tax Code and subject to certain conditions and limits, due to your:
  > Financial hardship;  
  > In-service distribution permitted by the plan;  
  > Disability certified by your employer, if applicable, and paid directly to you;
Due to a loan taken in accordance with the terms of the plan; and
When the amount in the Fixed Plus Account II A is less than or equal to $5,000.
 
You can determine what additional waivers, if any, and the required conditions, limits and restrictions that may
apply to each waiver by referring to the contract, which includes the Fixed Plus Account II A endorsement.
Additionally, we may allow other waivers of the 20% limit or any other restriction or limit on partial withdrawals in
certain circumstances on a basis that is not unfairly discriminatory.
 
Unless we agree otherwise, any request for a partial withdrawal that will be taken from general account assets will
be deducted first from amounts allocated to the closed fixed account, if applicable, until depleted, then from the
Fixed Plus Account II A.  
 
Requests for Full Withdrawals. If the contract holder or you, as applicable, as allowed by the plan and permitted
under the contract, request a full withdrawal of your account value or, the value of all individual accounts, we will
pay any amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account II A with interest, in five annual payments equal to:
One-fifth of the individual Fixed Plus Account II A value, or the value of all individual accounts, as applicable,
  in the Fixed Plus Account II A on the day the request is received, reduced by any Fixed Plus Account II A
  withdrawals, transfers, amounts used to purchase annuity payments, or loans either by the contract holder or
  you made during the prior 12 months;  
One-fourth of the remaining Fixed Plus Account II A value 12 months later reduced by any Fixed Plus Account
  II A withdrawals, transfers, amounts used to purchase annuity payments, or loans either by the contract holder
  or you made during the prior 12 months;  
One-third of the remaining Fixed Plus Account II A value 12 months later reduced by any Fixed Plus Account
  II A withdrawals, transfers, amounts used to purchase annuity payments, or loans either by the contract holder
  or you, made during the prior 12 months;  
One-half of the remaining Fixed Plus Account II A value 12 months later reduced by any Fixed Plus Account II
  A withdrawals, transfers, amounts used to purchase annuity payments, or loans either by the contract holder or
  you made during the prior 12 months; and  
The balance of the Fixed Plus Account II A value 12 months later.
 
The contract holder or you, as applicable, may cancel a full withdrawal request from the Fixed Plus Account II A at
any time.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 66

 


 

Once a request is received for a full withdrawal, no further withdrawals, loans, or transfers will be permitted from
the Fixed Plus Account II A. Your request may be cancelled at any time before the end of the five-year period. If
any contributions are received to your account at any time during the five-year payment period, the full withdrawal
will be cancelled and your Fixed Plus Account II A installment payments will cease. If your full withdrawal is
cancelled (either by your request or due to receipt of a contribution to your account), a new five-year payment
period will begin upon any future full withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account II A.
 
Waiver of Full Withdrawal Provisions. For certain plans and subject to certain conditions we may waive the Fixed
Plus Account II A five-installment payout for full withdrawals made due to one or more of the following:
Due to your death during the accumulation phase if the amount is paid within six months of your death;
Due to the election of a lifetime income phase payment option or a nonlifetime income phase payment option
  on a fixed basis;  
When the Fixed Plus Account II A value is $5,000 or less (or, if applicable, as otherwise allowed by the plan for
  a lump-sum cash-out without participant consent) and no withdrawals, transfers, loans or elections of income
  phase payment options have been made from the account within the prior 12 months;
Due to your separation from service (provided, however, that severance of employment must qualify as
  separation from service under Tax Code) and when:
  > Separation from service is documented in a form acceptable to us;
  > The amount withdrawn is paid directly to you or as a direct rollover to another Tax Code Section 403(b),
    401 or governmental 457(b) plan or an Individual Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity
    designated by you; and  
  > The amount paid for all partial and full withdrawals due to separation from service during the previous 12-
    month period does not exceed 20% of the average value of all your account(s) and all other accounts under
    the relevant contract during that same period.  
As defined in the Tax Code and subject to certain conditions and limits, due to your:
  > Financial hardship;  
  > In-service distribution permitted by the plan; or
  > Disability certified by your employer, if applicable, and paid directly to you; and
Due to a loan taken in accordance with the terms of the plan.
 
You can determine what additional waivers, if any, and the required conditions, limits and restrictions that may
apply to each waiver by referring to the contract, which includes the Fixed Plus Account II A endorsement.
Additionally, we may allow other waivers of the five installment payout or any other restriction or limit on full
withdrawals in certain circumstances.  
 
Unless we agree otherwise, any request for a full withdrawal from general account assets will be deducted first from
amounts allocated to the closed fixed account, if applicable, until depleted then from the Fixed Plus Account II A.
 
Charges. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Plus Account II A to cover mortality and expense
risks. We consider these risks when determining the credited rate.
 
Transfers from the Fixed Plus Account II A. The contract holder or you, if allowed by the plan, may transfer 20%
of your account value held in the Fixed Plus Account II A in each rolling 12-month period. We determine the
amount eligible for transfer on the day we receive a transfer request in good order. We will reduce amounts allowed
for transfer by any Fixed Plus Account II A withdrawals, transfers, loans or amounts applied to income phase
payment options during the prior 12 months. We also reserve the right to include payments made due to the election
of any of the systematic distribution options. We will waive the percentage limit on transfers when the value in the
Fixed Plus Account II A is $5,000.  
 
If you transfer 20% of your account value held in the Fixed Plus Account II A in each of four consecutive 12-month
periods, you may transfer the remaining balance in the succeeding 12-month period provided that no additional
amounts are allocated to the Fixed Plus Account II A during the five year period. The 20% amount available to
transfer under this provision will be reduced by any amount transferred, taken as a loan or applied to income phase
payment options within the 12-month period preceding the first 20% transfer. Also, we may reduce it for payments
we made from your Fixed Plus Account II A value under any systematic distribution option.
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20 67

 


 

Unless we agree otherwise, any request for a transfer from general account assets will be deducted first from
amounts allocated to the closed fixed account, if applicable, until depleted then from the Fixed Plus Account II A.
 
Loans. If permitted under the plan, loans may be made from account values held in the Fixed Plus Account II
A. See the loan agreement for a description of the amount available and possible consequences upon loan default if
Fixed Plus Account II A values are used for a loan.
 
Transfer Credits. The Company provides a transfer credit in some cases on transferred assets, as defined by the
Company, subject to certain conditions and state approvals. This benefit is provided on a nondiscriminatory basis. If
a transfer credit is due under the contract, you will be provided with additional information specific to the contract.
 
Election of a transfer credit may impact the mortality and expense risk charge and the credited interest rate under
certain fixed interest options. See “FEES” and “Interest Rates” above.
 
Reinstatement. To the extent permitted under the contract, amounts that would have been reinstated to the closed
fixed account, as applicable, may instead be reinstated to the Fixed Plus Account II A.

APPENDIX VI
MGWB ENDORSEMENT PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLES
 
For the purposes of these examples, eligible account value means your account value excluding any amount
invested in an employee Roth 403(b) account.        
 
Example 1: Adjustment to the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance for a withdrawal that does not
exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.        
 
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000, and a net withdrawal of $5,000 (with $0 early withdrawal
charges and/or MVA) is taken.          
 
        MGWB Remaining
  Eligible Account Value MGWB Base Guaranteed Balance
Values just prior to the withdrawal $100,000 $100,000   $100,000
Values after the withdrawal $95,000 $100,000   $95,000
 
MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance is reduced dollar for dollar for withdrawals that do not exceed the
Maximum Annual Withdrawal.          
 
Example 2: Adjustment to the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and the MGWB Base for a
withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.      
 
Assume (a) the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000; (b) the MAW Percentage is 5%; (c) a net withdrawal of
$2,000 (with $0 early withdrawal charges and/or MVA) is taken; (d) cumulative net withdrawals previously taken
during the calendar year totaled $4,000; and (e) eligible account value has decreased to $90,000 prior to this
withdrawal.          
 
  Eligible       Maximum
  Account   MGWB Remaining Annual
  Value MGWB Base Guaranteed Balance Withdrawal
Values just prior to the withdrawal $90,000 $100,000 $96,000 $5,000
Values after the withdrawal $88,000 $88,000 $88,000 $4,400
 
The net withdrawal of $2,000 has caused the cumulative net withdrawals taken during the calendar year to equal
$6,000 ($4,000 + $2,000), which exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal of $5,000. As a result, the MGWB
Base and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance are reduced to the lesser of the MGWB Remaining
Guaranteed Balance less the net withdrawal, $94,000 ($96,000 - $2,000), or the eligible account value immediately
after the withdrawal, $88,000 ($90,000 - $2,000). The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now reduced to $4,400
($88,000 x 5%).          
 
Example 3: Adjustment to the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance and the MGWB Base for a
withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including early withdrawal charges and/or
negative MVA.          
 
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000, the MAW Percentage is 5%, and a net withdrawal of $5,500
(with early withdrawal charges or negative MVA of $500) is taken.      
 
  Eligible       Maximum
  Account   MGWB Remaining Annual
  Value MGWB Base Guaranteed Balance Withdrawal
Values just prior to the withdrawal $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $5,000
Values after the withdrawal $94,000 $94,000 $94,000 $4,700
 
 
 
 
PRO.81216-20   80      

 


 

The gross withdrawal of $6,000 ($5,500 + $500) reduces eligible account value. The net withdrawal of $5,500
exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal of $5,000. As a result, the MGWB Base and the MGWB Remaining
Guaranteed Balance are reduced to the lesser of the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance less the net withdrawal,
$94,500 (100,000 - $5,500) or the eligible account value immediately after the withdrawal, $94,000 ($100,000 -
$6,000). The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now reduced to $4,700 ($94,000 x 5%).  
 
Example 4: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal but does not exceed the Additional
Withdrawal Amount.        
 
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. On the first day of the calendar year, the Required Minimum
Distribution for the current calendar year applicable to this contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional
Withdrawal Amount is set to equal the excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000
($6,000 - $5,000).        
 
Also assume a net withdrawal of $2,000 (with $0 early withdrawal charges and/or MVA) is taken and cumulative
net withdrawals previously taken during the calendar year totaled $4,000.    
 
  Eligible     Maximum
  Account   MGWB Remaining Annual
  Value MGWB Base Guaranteed Balance Withdrawal
Values just prior to the withdrawal $96,000 $100,000 $96,000 $5,000
Values after the withdrawal $94,000 $100,000 $94,000 $5,000
 
Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000 ($4,000 + $2,000), exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000. However
the MGWB Base and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance are not adjusted as described in Example 2 above
because the total net withdrawals taken ($6,000) did not exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and
the Additional Withdrawal Amount of $6,000 ($5,000 + 1,000). Instead, only the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed
Balance is reduced dollar for dollar for the amount of the withdrawal to $94,000 ($96,000 - $2,000). If the total net
withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal
Amount, the MGWB Base and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance would be adjusted as described in
Example 2, above.        
 
Example 5: The Reset Option is utilized.      
 
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000, the MAW Percentage is 5%, and the eligible account value
has increased above the MGWB Base.        
 
  Eligible     Maximum
  Account   MGWB Remaining Annual
  Value MGWB Base Guaranteed Balance Withdrawal
Values just prior to reset $110,000 $100,000 $90,000 $5,000
Values after the reset $110,000 $110,000 $110,000 $5,500
 
Upon reset, the MGWB Base and the MGWB Remaining Guaranteed Balance are increased to the eligible account
value. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $5,500 ($110,000 x 5%).

APPENDIX VII
 
EXAMPLES OF MGWB REBALANCING

 
The following examples are designed to assist you in understanding how MGWB Rebalancing works. The examples
assume that there are no investment earnings or losses.
 
I. Subsequent Payments  
 
A. Assume that on Day 1, you purchased the MGWB Endorsement and your eligible account value (i.e., your
account value excluding any amounts invested in an employee Roth 403(b) account) is $100,000, which is allocated
100% to Accepted Investment Options. No MGWB Rebalancing would occur, because this allocation meets the
required investment option allocation.  
 
B. Assume that on Day 2, you invested an additional purchase payment of $500,000, bringing your total eligible
account value to $600,000, and you allocated this purchase payment 100% to Other Investment Options. Because
the percentage allocated to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options (0%) is less than 25% of the total amount
allocated to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options and the Other Investment Options, we will automatically
reallocate $125,000 from the amount allocated to the Other Investment Options (25% of the $500,000 allocated to
the Other Investment Options) to the Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option. Your ending allocations will be
$100,000 to Accepted Investment Options, $125,000 to the Fixed Rebalancing Investment Option, and $375,000 to
the Other Investment Options.  
 
II. Partial Withdrawals  
 
A. Assume that on Day 1, you purchased the MGWB Endorsement and your eligible account value is $100,000,
which is allocated 70% to Accepted Investment Options ($70,000), 25% to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options
($25,000), and 5% to Other Investment Options ($5,000). No MGWB Rebalancing would occur, because this
allocation meets the required investment option allocation.
 
B. Assume that on Day 2, you requested a partial withdrawal of $24,000 from the Fixed Allocation Investment
Options. Because the remaining amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Investment Options ($1,000) is less than

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.

 

The Company has established the Service Center to provide administrative support to the contract holder and participants of the State University of New York Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (“SUNY”).  This office will handle enrollments, billing, transfers, redemptions, and inquiries for all SUNY contract holders and participants. All forms and correspondence should be sent to the address listed on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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 the prospectuses and statements of additional information for each of the funds.

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS

 

The Company is the depositor and 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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Voya Financial Partners, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 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 sections entitled Contract Ownership and Rightsand Your Account Value.”

 

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 PHASE PAYMENTS

 

When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase (see “Income Phase” in the prospectus), the value of your account is determined using accumulation unit values as of the 10th valuation before the first payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide payments to you in accordance with the payment option and investment options elected.

 

The annuity option tables found in the Contract show, for each option, the amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of value applied. When you select variable income payments, your account value purchases annuity units (“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. Thereafter, variable payments fluctuate as the Annuity Unit value(s) fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected investment option(s). The first payment and subsequent payments also vary depending on the assumed net investment rate selected (3.5% or 5.0% per annum). Selection of a 5.0% rate causes a higher first payment, but payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5.0% on an annual basis. Payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5.0%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first payment, but subsequent payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

 

When the income phase begins, the annuitant is credited with a fixed number of Annuity Units (which does not change thereafter) in each of the designated investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) is the amount of the first payment based on a particular investment option, and (b) is the then current Annuity Unit value for that investment option. As noted, Annuity Unit values fluctuate from one valuation to the next (see “Your Account Value” in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the appropriate subaccount(s) (with a 10 day valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a mathematical adjustment which offsets the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5.0% per annum.

 

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

EXAMPLE:

 

Assume that, at the date payments are to begin, there are 3,000 accumulation units credited under a particular contract or account and that the value of an accumulation unit for the 10th valuation prior to retirement was $13.650000.  This produces a total value of $40,950.

 

Assume also that no premium tax charge is payable and that the annuity option table in the contract provides, for the payment option elected, a first monthly variable annuity payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the annuitant’s first monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.

 

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

 

Suppose there were 30 days between the initial and second payment valuation dates. If the net investment factor with respect to the appropriate subaccount is 1.0032737 as of the 10th valuation preceding the due date of the second monthly income phase payment, multiplying this factor by .9971779* = .9999058^30 (to take into account 30 days of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units determined above) produces a result of 1.000442. This is then multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the prior valuation ($13.400000 from above) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.405928 for the valuation occurring when the second income phase payment is due.

 

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

 

*If an assumed net investment rate of 5.0% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate would be .9959968 = .9998663^30.

 

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

 

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

·     Standardized average annual total returns; and

·     Non-standardized average annual total returns.

 

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 total returns reflect the deduction of all recurring charges during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges, if any).

 

Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized average annual total returns in a similar manner as that stated above, except that we 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 include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain the mathematical principles of dollar cost averaging, compounded interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts.  We may also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types of savings or investment products such as personal savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

 

 

 

 

4

 

 


 

 

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

 

We may publish in advertisements and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as 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 categorize the underlying funds in terms of the asset classes they represent and use such categories in marketing materials for the contracts. We may illustrate in advertisements the performance of the underlying funds, if accompanied by performance which also shows the performance of such funds reduced by applicable charges under the separate account. We may also show in advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at various intervals.  From time to time, we will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other publications or reports such as The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

 

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various topics of interest to current and prospective contract holders or participants. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparison between the contracts and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

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.

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.

VOYA RETIREMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY Notes to Financial Statements

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

    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. However, in accordance with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") rules related to the variation margin payments, the Company is required to adjust the derivative balances with the variation margin payments related to its cleared derivatives executed through CME.

    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

The Company also uses credit default swaps coupled with other investments in order to produce the investment characteristics of otherwise permissible investments that do not qualify as effective accounting hedges under ASC Topic 815.

    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.

    (2) All gains and losses on Level 3 liabilities are classified as realized gains (losses) for the purpose of this disclosure because it is impracticable to track realized and unrealized gains (losses) separately on a contract-by-contract basis. These amounts are included in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    (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 tax liabilities          
    Net unrealized investment (gains) losses   (424)     (45)
    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.

    • Intercompany agreement with VIM, as amended pursuant to which VIM agreed, effective January 1, 2010, to pay the Company, on a monthly basis, a portion of the revenues VIM earns as investment adviser to certain U.S. registered investment companies that are investment options under certain of the Company's variable insurance products. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, revenue under the VIM intercompany agreement was $59, $63 and $55, respectively.

    • Variable annuity, fixed insurance and mutual fund products issued by VRIAC are sold by Voya Financial Advisors, an affiliate of VRIAC. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 commission expenses incurred by VRIAC were $82, $79 and $77, respectively.

    Management and service contracts and all cost sharing arrangements with other affiliated companies are allocated in accordance with the Company's expense and cost allocation methods. Revenues and expenses recorded as a result of transactions and agreements with affiliates may not be the same as those incurred if the Company was not a wholly owned subsidiary of its Parent.

    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.
