A Supplement dated November 14, 2001 to the Prospectus and Contract Prospectus Summary is included in Part A of this Post-Effective Amendment. VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY SUPPLEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 14, 2001 TO PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2001 AND CONTRACT PROSPECTUS SUMMARY DATED MAY 1, 2001 The information in this supplement updates and amends certain information contained in the Prospectus and Contract Prospectus Summary dated May 1, 2001. You should read this supplement along with the Prospectus. 0 The following updates and amends information regarding the use of the contracts to fund 457(b) plans of non-governmental, tax-exempt employers: GENERAL. Effective for contributions received on or after January 1, 2002, the contracts may be used as funding vehicles for Tax Code Section 457(b) plans of non-governmental, tax-exempt employers. Under 457(b) plans maintained by non-governmental, tax-exempt employers, all amounts of deferred compensation, all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such amounts, property and rights remain solely the property and rights of the employer and are subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors, until paid or made available to you or your beneficiary. In addition, participation in a 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental, tax-exempt employer is generally limited to highly compensated employees and select management (other than 457(b) plans maintained by nonqualified, church-controlled organizations). CONTRIBUTIONS TO A 457(B) PLAN EXCLUDED FROM GROSS INCOME. Effective January 1, 2002, in order to be excludable from gross income, total annual contributions made by you and your employer cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of the dollar amount limit set forth below or 100% of your includible compensation. Includible compensation means your compensation from the employer sponsoring the plan, not including deferrals to the employer's Tax Code Section 457, 401(k), 403(b) and 125 cafeteria plans, or any other amounts not includible in the participant's gross income as wages from the employer. The dollar amount limits are as follows: - $11,000 in 2002; - $12,000 in 2003; - $13,000 in 2004; - $14,000 in 2005; - $15,000 in 2006. After 2006, contribution limits will be subject to indexing. DISTRIBUTIONS. All distributions from a 457 plan of a non-governmental, tax-exempt employer, except death benefits, are subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding as wages. No withholding is required on payments to beneficiaries. RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Under a 457(b) plan of a non-governmental, tax-exempt employer, amounts may not be made available to you earlier than (1) the calendar year you attain age 70 1/2; (2) when you experience a severance from employment with your employer; or (3) when you experience an unforeseeable emergency. A one-time in service distribution may also be permitted if the total amount payable to the participant does not exceed $5,000 and no amounts have been deferred by the participant during the 2-year period ending on the date of distribution. X.01107-01A November 2001 C01-1106-012R Effective January 1, 2002, distributions from a non-governmental, tax-exempt 457(b) plan payable over a period of more than one year do not need to be made in substantially non-increasing amounts, and subject to the Tax Code, distribution of death benefits to a non-spouse may be made to a non-spouse over a period that may exceed fifteen years. WAIVERS OF EARLY WITHDRAWAL CHARGE AND FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT FULL AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS. Although, effective January 1, 2002, the Tax Code permits distributions upon a participant's severance from employment, the contracts do not provide for a waiver of early withdrawal charges or the Fixed Plus Account full and partial withdrawal provisions unless the severance from employment would otherwise qualify as a separation from service (for those contracts that waive early withdrawal charges or the full and partial withdrawal provisions upon separation from service).

Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ or Registrant ------------- Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 of Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 33-81216), as filed on April 9, 2001. Item 27. Number of Contract Owners --------------------------------------- As of October 31, 2001, there were 623,2643 individuals holding interests in variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C. Item 28. Indemnification ------------------------ Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") provides that a corporation may provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a party. The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, ING Groep N.V. has procured insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States and international excess insurers for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries, including the Depositor. Section 20 of the Aetna Investment Services, LLC (AIS) Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that AIS will indemnify certain persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of AIS, as long as he acted in good faith on behalf of AIS and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity provision is authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Item 29. Principal Underwriter ------------------------------ (a) In addition to serving as the principal underwriter for the Registrant, Aetna Investment Services, LLC (AIS) also acts as the principal underwriter for Portfolio Partners, Inc.

Undertakings --------------------- Registrant hereby undertakes: (a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration statement are never more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted; (b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information; and (c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request. (d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to language concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1988 WL 1235221 *13 (S.E.C.)]. (e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (f) Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contracts covered by this registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the insurance company.
