KEY INFORMATION

 

Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract

 

FEES AND EXPENSES

Charges for Early Withdrawals

If the Investor withdraws money from the Contract within ten (10) years following a specified date, the Investor can be assessed an early withdrawal charge equal to a maximum of 5% of the amount withdrawn. The specified date referenced in the preceding sentence can vary depending on the terms of the Contract, and will be either: (1) number of completed Contract Years; or (2) the number of years since the Contract was established.

 

For example, if you make an early withdrawal from a 403 Contract, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,000 on a $100,000 investment.

 

Please also note that withdrawals from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account are subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which can be either positive or negative (see Appendix B to this prospectus).

 

See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES – Transaction Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge.”

Transaction Charges

In addition to the early withdrawal charge, the Investor may also be charged for other transactions:

•    For the sale of the Contract and for the cost of providing administrative services under the Contract;

•    For transferring or reallocating Account Value among the investment options;

•    If you elect the Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider;

•    Certain Funds may impose redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other Fund transactions you may initiate; and

•    Charges for advisory services due to an independent advisory services agreement between you and an investment adviser may be deducted from the Contract value.

 

See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES.”

Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. The base contract expenses include an administrative expense charge equal to 0.25% annually of your Account Value invested in the Subaccounts. The administrative expense charge may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. These ongoing fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees due under an independent advisory services agreement with a participant, and if such charges were reflected, these ongoing fees and expenses would be higher.

RISKS
Risk of Loss

An Investor can lose money by investing in the Contract.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT.”

Not a Short-Term Investment

This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to make withdrawals before you are age 59½. You might be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT.”

Risks Associated with Investment Options

 

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract. Each investment option (including the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the Fixed Account) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision. If all or a portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is withdrawn, you could experience a loss as to the amount invested in that account.

 

See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS – The Variable Investment Options” and APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to VRIAC, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of VRIAC. More information about VRIAC, including its financial strength and claims paying ability, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own.

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT.”

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

This summary provides a brief overview of the more significant aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this prospectus, the related Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), the Contract and the summary or full prospectuses for the Funds being considered. We urge you to read the entire prospectus as it describes all material features and benefits of the Contract and your rights and limitations thereunder. It also sets forth information you should know before making the decision to participate in the Contract through your retirement plan. Certain features and benefits may vary depending on the state in which your Contract is issued.

 

Purpose

 

The Contract described in this prospectus is a group installment and single purchase payment variable annuity contract. It is intended to be used as funding vehicle for certain types of retirement plans and to qualify for beneficial tax treatment and/or to provide current income reduction under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). There are three Contracts described in this prospectus: The Contract designed for retirement plans that qualify under Section 403(b) of the Tax Code (“403(b) Contract”); the Contract designed for retirement plans that qualify under Section 457 of the Tax Code (“457 Contract”); and the Contract designed for retirement plans established by self-employed individuals under Sections 401(a), 401(k) or 403(b) of the Tax Code (“HR 10 Contract”). The Contract is not available for investment by new investors.

 

The Contract is designed for Investors who intend to accumulate funds for retirement purposes, and thus is best suited for those with a long investment horizon. The Contract should not be viewed as a highly liquid investment. In that regard, early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time your money is left in the Contract. For these reasons, you should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment. 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.

 

Phases of Contract

 

The Contract has two phases: An Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase.

 

Accumulation Phase: During the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by your plan, directs us to invest your Purchase Payments or Account Value among the following investment options:

Variable Investment Options; and/or
Fixed Interest Options.

 

Income Phase: During the Income Phase, you start receiving annuity, or Income Phase payments from your Contract. The Contract offers several Income Phase payment options. However, you will be unable to make withdrawals, and any death benefits and living benefits will terminate. In general, you may:

Receive Income Phase payments over a lifetime or for a specified period;
Receive Income Phase payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually;
Select an Income Phase option that provides a death benefit to Beneficiaries; or
Select fixed Income Phase payments or payments that vary based on the performance of the Variable Investment Options you select.

 

For more information about the Income Phase, see “THE INCOME PHASE” section of this prospectus,

 

The Variable Investment Options

 

The Variable Investment Options are Subaccounts within the Separate Account. Each Subaccount invests its assets directly in shares of a corresponding underlying Fund, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objectives, fees and expenses and investment advisers. Earnings on amounts invested in a Subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of the corresponding underlying Fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Funds. Additional information about each underlying Fund is set forth in the section of this prospectus called “APPENDIX A: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”

PRO.75974-23 8 
Back To Table of Contents 

There is no guarantee that your Account Value will increase. Depending upon the investment experience of each Fund in which a Subaccount invests, your Account Value may increase or decrease daily. You bear the investment risk for the Funds in which the Subaccounts invest; you will benefit from favorable investment experience but also bear the risk of poor investment performance.

 

The Fixed Interest Options

 

The following Fixed Interest Options may be available through the Contract:

The Guaranteed Accumulation Account; and
The Fixed Account.

 

Not all Fixed Interest Options may be available for current or future investment. For descriptions of the Fixed Interest Options that may be available through the Contract, see AppendiX B and APPENDIX C and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus may be obtained free of charge by calling Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

 

Contract Features

 

Death Benefit. A Beneficiary may receive a death benefit in the event of your death during both the Accumulation and Income Phases (described above). If made available under your Contract, you can elect the Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider. The availability of a death benefit during the Income Phase depends upon the Income Phase (i.e., annuity) payment option selected. See “DEATH BENEFIT Death Benefit During the Income Phase.”

 

Systematic Distribution Options. The Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may elect for you to receive regular payments from your account, while retaining the account in the Accumulation Phase. See “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS.”

 

Withdrawals. During the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or part of your Account Value. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, other deductions, tax withholding and taxation. See “WITHDRAWALS.”

 

Charges for Advisory Services. A participant may enter into an agreement with an independent investment adviser that will provide agreed-upon advisory services and may arrange to have the advisory fees deducted from the Variable Investment Options, in which case such deductions will reduce the death benefit payable under the participant’s Contract, they may be treated as withdrawals, and they may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty tax. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges for Advisory Services.”

 

Taxation. Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

FEE TABLE

 

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. The fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fee paid to an independent investment adviser retained by a participant, and if such charges were reflected, these fees and expenses would be higher. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

 

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract or transfer Account Value between investment options. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Examples

 

These 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 transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses. They do not reflect any advisory fee paid to an independent investment adviser (if retained by a participant) from a participant’s account, and if such charges were reflected, the costs would be higher.

 

The following examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses and optional benefits. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT

 

The decision to participate or invest in the Contract should be discussed with your financial representative. Make sure that you understand the risks you will face when you consider an investment in the Contract.

 

There are risks associated with investing in the Contract.

 

Investment Risk You bear the risk of any decline in the Account Value caused by the performance of the underlying Funds held by the Subaccounts. Those Funds could decline in value very significantly, and there is a risk of loss of your entire amount invested. The risk of loss varies with each underlying Fund. The investment risks are described in the prospectuses for the underlying Funds. There also is investment risk associated with an investment in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. As discussed in Appendix B to this prospectus, if interest rates at the time of a 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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account;
Withdrawal Risk – You should carefully consider the risk associated with withdrawals, including a surrender of the participant’s certificate and a withdrawal under a certificate. A surrender or partial withdrawal may be subject to federal and state taxes, including a 10% federal income tax penalty on the taxable portion of the withdrawal, if taken prior to age 59½. Surrendering the participant certificate terminates the certificate. You should also consider the impact that a partial withdrawal may have on the benefits under a participant certificate, potentially including partial withdrawals to pay adviser fees. If a participant retains an investment adviser and elects to pay advisory fees from the participant’s account, such deductions will reduce death benefit amounts, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. Because of Contract features like the Early Withdrawal Charge and given the tax consequences referred to above, you should not view the Contract as a short-term savings vehicle;
Optional Death Benefits (applicable to 403(b) Contracts only) If you elect the Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider optional death benefit, your charges will be greater. If you were to elect this optional death benefit and die when the amount of Purchase Payments (less any withdrawals) made on your behalf equals your Account Value, you would have paid the extra fee for the optional death benefit but be paid the death benefit amount that would have applied absent election of the optional death benefit;
Insurance Company InsolvencyIt is possible that we could experience financial difficulty in the future and even become insolvent, and therefore become unable to provide all of the guarantees and benefits that exceed the assets in the Separate Account that we have promised;
Tax Consequences Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan or may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time funds are left in the Contract.
Short-Term Investment – You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or except to need to make withdrawals before you are age 59½; and
Cyber Security and Certain Business Continuity Risks Our operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology and communication systems. Any failure of or gap in the systems and processes necessary to support complex transactions and avoid systems failure, fraud, information security failures, processing errors, cyber intrusion, loss of data and breaches of regulation may lead to a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and corporate reputation. In addition, we must commit significant resources to maintain and enhance our existing systems in order to keep pace with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards and customer preferences. If we fail to maintain secure and well-functioning information systems, we may not be able to rely on information for product pricing, compliance obligations, risk management and underwriting decisions. In addition, we cannot assure Investors or consumers that interruptions,
PRO.75974-23 12 
Back To Table of Contents 

failures or breaches in security of these processes and systems will not occur, or if they do occur, that they can be timely detected and remediated. The occurrence of any of these events may have a materially adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

 

THE COMPANY

 

The Company issues the Contract described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing the Contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the Contract 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, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 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.

 

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.

 

Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of VRIAC’s other assets. The assets of the Separate Account equal to contract liabilities may not be used to pay any liabilities of VRIAC other than those arising from the Contracts. However, Separate Account assets that exceed contract liabilities are subject to any liabilities of VRIAC. VRIAC is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Investors under the Contracts.

 

Information regarding each underlying Fund, including: (1) its name; (2) its investment adviser and any subadviser; (3) current expenses; and (4) performance is available in APPENDIX A to this prospectus. Each Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Fund. You may obtain paper or electronic copies of those prospectuses by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS

 

The Contract offers Variable Investment Options and Fixed Interest Options. When we establish your account(s) (and your accounts may be established at different times), the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, directs us to allocate initial Purchase Payments to the investment options available under the plan. Generally, you will specify this information on your enrollment materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future Purchase Payments or the transfer of existing balances among investment options may be requested by contacting Customer Service, electronically at www.voyaretirementplans.com or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Allocations must be in whole percentages, and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can be selected.

 

We may add, withdraw or substitute investment options subject to the conditions in the Contract and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

 

The Variable Investment Options

 

These options are Subaccounts of the Separate Account. Each Subaccount invests directly in shares of a corresponding mutual Fund, and 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.

 

Certain information about the Funds available through the Subaccounts of the Separate Account appears in APPENDIX A to this prospectus. Please also refer to the Fund prospectuses for additional information and read them carefully. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001. More detailed information about the Funds is available in the prospectuses for the Funds, which may be amended from time to time and can be found online at https://vpx.broadridge.com/getcontract1.asp?dtype=pros&cid=voyavpx&fid=NRVA00980. You can request this information as well as a paper copy at no cost by calling Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001 or by sending an email request to ProspectusRequests@voya.com.

 

Selection of Underlying Funds

 

The underlying Funds available through the Contracts 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 subadviser’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 subadvisers) 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 “Revenue from the Funds” subsection of this prospectus.) We review the Funds periodically and may, subject to certain limits or restrictions, remove a Fund or limit its availability to new investment 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 subadvised by our affiliates.

 

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

PRO.75974-23 14 
Back To Table of Contents 

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 subaccounting 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.

 

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.

PRO.75974-23 15 
Back To Table of Contents 

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.

 

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated Funds described above, affiliated 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.”

 

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) 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. Under Contracts issued in connection with section 457 plans, the Contract Holder retains all voting rights. 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.

 

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
PRO.75974-23 16 
Back To Table of Contents 

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 Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001;

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 through the Contract, see AppendiX B and APPENDIX C and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus may be obtained free of charge by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

 

Selecting Investment Options

 

When selecting investment options:

Choose options appropriate for you. Your local representative can help you evaluate which Subaccounts or Fixed Interest Options may be appropriate for your individual circumstances and your financial goals;
Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some Subaccounts invest in Funds that are considered riskier than others. Funds with additional risks are expected to have 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, SAI and annual and semi-annual reports, the Fixed Interest Option appendices and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus. After you make your selections, 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. See your Contract or certificate for any state specific variations. Your Plan Sponsor may also have selected a subset of Variable Investment and/or Fixed Interest Options to be available under your plan.

CHARGES AND FEES

 

The charges we assess and the deductions we make under the Contract are in consideration for: (1) the services and benefits we provide; (2) the costs and expenses we incur; and (3) the risks we assume. The charges and fees 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.

 

Transaction Fees

 

Maximum Sales and Administrative Expense Charge

 

  As a Percentage of Each Installment Purchase Payment
403(b) Contract 6.00%10
457(b) Contract 6.00%
HR 10 Contract 1.75%11

 

When/How. During the Accumulation Period, this fee is deducted from each installment Purchase Payment made on behalf of a participant, after deductions for premium taxes or for the Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider (see “Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider Charge” below), if applicable, are made. We currently do not impose this charge; however, we reserve the right to charge up to the maximum amount shown above from each Purchase Payment made to your account.

 

Purpose. This charge helps reimburse us for expenses associated with the sale of the Contracts and helps defray the cost of providing administrative services under the Contracts and in relation to the Separate Account and Subaccounts.

 

Early Withdrawal Charge

 

Withdrawals of all or a portion of your Account Value may be subject to a charge. In the case of a partial withdrawal where you request a specific dollar amount, the amount withdrawn from your account will be the amount you specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge. The early withdrawal charge may also be referred to as a surrender charge.

 

Purpose: This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses us for some of the sales and administrative expenses associated with the Contract. If our expenses are greater than the amount we collect for the early withdrawal charge and the sales and administrative expense charge, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit that may arise from the mortality and expense risk charges, to make up the difference.

 

Amount: This charge is a percentage of the amount that you withdraw from the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. For HR 10 and 403(b) Contracts, an early withdrawal charge of 2% of the amount withdrawn will be assessed if the Contract is terminated before five Contract Years have been completed or before the tenth anniversary of the Contract, whichever occurs first.

 

 

10 Exclusive of any premium tax or premium for the Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, the total deduction amounts to 6.40% of the net Purchase Payment.
11 Exclusive of any premium tax, the total deduction amounts to 1.80% of the net Purchase Payment.
PRO.75974-23 18 
Back To Table of Contents 

Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider Charge (403(b) plans only).

 

Amount. 1.00% of each Purchase Payment to the Contract.

 

When/How. This fee is deducted from Purchase Payments to the Contract made on behalf of any participant for whom the rider is elected.

 

Purpose. This is an optional benefit that may be elected by the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, to purchase a minimum death benefit guarantee. This guarantee provides that if you die before Income Payments commence, the minimum death benefit will equal Purchase Payments (less any withdrawals) made on your behalf, regardless of your Account Value at the time of death.

 

Allocation and Transfer Fees

 

Amount. We currently do not impose a fee for investment allocation changes or transfers among investment options. We reserve the right, however, to charge $10 for each investment allocation change or transfer in excess of 12 in a calendar year.

 

Purpose. This fee reimburses us for administrative expenses associated with transferring or reallocating your dollars among investment options.

 

Fund Redemption Fees

 

Certain Funds may impose 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

 

Amount. During the Accumulation Phase the amount of this charge, which is deducted from the Account Value invested in the Subaccounts, varies depending upon the type of Contract, as follows:

For HR 10, 457(b) and 403(b) Contracts, the charge is 1.25% annually.

 

When/How. This fee is deducted daily from the Subaccounts. We do not deduct this fee from any Fixed Interest Option.

 

Purpose. This 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 Income Phase payments based on annuity rates specified in the Contract and our funding of the death benefits and other payments we make to owners or Beneficiaries of the accounts; and
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 Contract, we will bear the loss. We may use any excess to recover distribution costs relating to the Contract and as a source of profit. We expect to earn a profit from this fee.

PRO.75974-23 19 
Back To Table of Contents 

Fund Fees and Expenses

 

Each Fund deducts management/investment advisory fees from the amounts allocated to the Fund. In addition, each Fund deducts other expenses, which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and contract 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.

 

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, and any set-up fees may be deducted on a proportional basis from all of the Subaccounts in which the participant is invested. Under proportional deduction, the portion of the overall fee deducted from a given Subaccount equals the same percentage that the Subaccount value represents to the value of all the Subaccounts used in the calculation (e.g., for deduction of the advisory fee, all the Subaccounts used in the allocation model). If you have not authorized payment of advisory fees from the Variable Investment Options, you would instead pay such fees outside the Contract.

 

Please note that we have no control over the advisory fee arrangement between you and your investment adviser – that arrangement is solely between you and your adviser. Consequently, if you wanted to terminate your advisory arrangement you would need to contact your adviser.

 

Premium and Other Taxes

 

Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction.

When/How. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your Account Value or from Purchase Payments to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. For example, we may deduct a charge for premium taxes at the time of a complete withdrawal or we may reflect the cost of premium taxes in our Income Phase payment rates when you commence Income Phase payments. Unless directed otherwise, we will deduct any premium tax charges proportionately from the Subaccounts and Fixed Interest Options in which you are invested.

PRO.75974-23 20 
Back To Table of Contents 

We will not deduct a charge for any municipal premium tax of 1% or less, but we reserve the right to reflect such an expense in our annuity purchase rates.

 

In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the Separate Account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

 

THE CONTRACT

 

The Contract is a long-term investment. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan or may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time Funds are left in the Contract. You should not participate in the Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment.

 

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.

 

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 (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 tax qualified account itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as guaranteed death benefits under some contracts 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. See “Contract Purchase and Participation.”

 

Contract Ownership and Rights

 

Who Owns the Contract? The Contract Holder.

 

Who Owns Money Accumulated Under the Contract? If the Contract Holder directs that we establish an account for you, you have the right to the value of your account (your Account Value) to the extent provided by the plan.

 

Who Holds Rights Under the Contract? The Contract Holder, usually your employer, holds all rights under the Contract. The Contract Holder’s plan, which you participate in, may permit you to exercise some of those rights.

 

Transfer of Ownership; Assignment

 

An assignment of a Contract will only be binding on us if it is made in writing and sent to Customer Service. 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 Holder and the interest of the Annuitant and any Beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee we have on our records.

 

The 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
Any deductions 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.
PRO.75974-23 21 
Back To Table of Contents 

Subaccount Accumulation Units. When a Fund is selected as an investment option, your account dollars invest in Accumulation Units of the Variable Annuity Account C 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.

 

Accumulation Unit Value. The value of each Accumulation Unit in a Subaccount is called the Accumulation Unit Value (“AUV”). The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying Fund’s investment performance. The AUV also reflects deductions for Fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, if any, and advisory fees, if any. The deduction of any advisory fees can result in cancellation of units. We discuss these deductions in more detail in “Fee Table” and “CHARGES AND Fees.”

 

Valuation. We determine the AUV every normal business day that the NYSE is open, 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’s units at the preceding valuation; and minus
A daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, if any, and any other fees deducted daily from investments in the Separate Account. See “CHARGES AND 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 AUVs are $10 for Subaccount A, and $25 for Subaccount B. The Investor’s account is credited with 300 Accumulation Units of Subaccount A and 80 Accumulation Units of Subaccount B.

 

Step 1: An Investor contributes $5,000.

 

Step 2:

He or she directs us to invest $3,000 in Fund A. The dollars purchase 300 Accumulation Units of Subaccount A ($3,000 divided by the current $10 AUV); and
He or she directs us to invest $2,000 in Fund B. The dollars purchase 80 Accumulation Units of Subaccount B ($2,000 divided by the current $25 AUV).

 

Step 3: The Separate Account then purchases shares of the applicable Funds at the then current market value (Net 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.

 

Purchase Payments to Your Account

 

If all or a portion of initial Purchase 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, as described in “CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION.” Subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers directed to the Subaccounts that we receive in Good Order by the close of business of the NYSE will

PRO.75974-23 22 
Back To Table of Contents 

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 as of the close of the NYSE on the next business day.

 

Contract Provisions and Limitations

 

Allocation of Purchase Payments

 

All Purchase Payments are allocated to your Account Value on the Valuation Date of their receipt. The Contract Holder or you, if the Contract Holder permits, directs us to allocate Purchase Payments to the investment options available under the plan. Allocations must be in whole percentages, and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can be selected. If the most recent allocation instructions we have on file include a Subaccount that corresponds to an underlying Fund that is closed to new investment or is otherwise unavailable, additional Purchase Payments received that would have been allocated to the Subaccount corresponding to the closed or otherwise unavailable Fund 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, we must receive alternative allocation instructions or the Purchase Payment will be returned. Alternative allocation instructions can be given by contacting Customer Service. See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS.”

 

Transfers Among Investment Options

 

During the Accumulation Phase the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may transfer amounts among the investment options. Transfers from Fixed Interest Options are restricted as outlined in APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C. Transfers may be requested by telephone, electronically at www.voyaretirementplans.com or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Transfers must be made in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

 

Charges for Transfers. We currently do not charge for transfers or allocation changes. We do, however, reserve the right to charge a fee of $10 for each transfer and/or allocation change in excess of 12 made in any calendar year.

 

Value of Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred in or out of Subaccounts will be based on the Subaccount AUV next determined after Customer Service receives your request in Good Order.

 

Telephone and Electronic Transfers: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent use of telephone or 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.

 

Tax Code Restrictions

 

The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

 

The General Account

 

All guarantees and benefits provided under the Contracts that are not related to the Separate Account are subject to the claims paying ability and financial strength of the Company and our General Account.

PRO.75974-23 23 
Back To Table of Contents 

The following obligations under the Contract are funded by the General Account which supports our insurance and annuity obligations:

 

Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account;
Amounts funding fixed Income Phase Payments;
Death benefit payments held in an interest bearing retained asset account; and
Where the amount of the death benefit exceeds the Account Value.

 

Contract Modification

 

We may change the Contract as required by federal or state law. In addition, we may, upon 30 days’ written notice 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.

 

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

 

The Contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a Fund and raise its expenses through:

Increased trading and transaction costs;
Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
Lost opportunity costs; and
Large asset swings that decrease the Fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all Contract Owners and participants.

 

This in turn can have an adverse effect on Fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should be aware that:

We suspend the Electronic Trading Privileges, as defined below, of any individual or organization if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or organization’s transfer activity is disruptive or not in the best interest of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, or the participant’s in such products; and
Each underlying Fund may limit or restrict Fund purchases and we will implement any limitation or restriction on transfers to an underlying Fund as directed by that underlying Fund.

 

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

 

Excessive Trading Policy

 

We and the other members of the Voya family of companies that provide multi-Fund variable insurance and retirement products have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various Fund families that make their Funds available through our products to restrict excessive Fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

 

We actively monitor Fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if Fund transfer and reallocation activity:

Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, or participants in such products.
PRO.75974-23 24 
Back To Table of Contents 

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.

 

Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the Fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

 

We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, or participants in such products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

 

Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

PRO.75974-23 25 
Back To Table of Contents 

The Company does not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular Fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying Fund(s), the best interests of Contract Owners, participants, and Fund investors, and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all Contract Owners and participants or, as applicable, to all Contract Owners and participants investing in the underlying Fund.

 

Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market-timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, Fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

 

Limits Imposed by the Underlying Funds

 

Each underlying Fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the Voya family of companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of Fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying Fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement Fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the Fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a Subaccount if the corresponding Fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a Fund or all Funds within a Fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the Fund.

 

Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies

 

As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the Fund companies whose Funds are offered through the Contract. Contract Owner and participant trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the Fund companies to monitor Fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the Company is required to share information regarding Contract Owner and participant transactions, including but not limited to information regarding Fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about Contract Owner and participant transactions, this information may include personal Contract Owner and participant information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

 

As a result of this information sharing, a Fund company may direct us to restrict a Contract Owner or participant’s transactions if the Fund determines that the Contract Owner or participant has violated the Fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the Fund directing us to reject any allocations of Purchase Payments or Account Value to the Fund or all Funds within the Fund family.

 

 

THE INCOME PHASE

 

During the Income Phase, you receive payments from your accumulated Account Value.

 

Initiating Income Phase Payments

 

At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start receiving Income Phase payments, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, must notify us in writing of the following:

Start date;
Income Phase payment option (see the “Income Phase Payment Options” table in this section);
Income Phase payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);
Choice of fixed or variable payments;
Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable payments are elected); and
Under some plans, certification from your employer and/or submission of the appropriate forms is also required.

 

The account will continue in the Accumulation Phase until the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, properly initiates Income Phase payments. Generally, the first Income Phase payment must be made by April 1 of the

PRO.75974-23 26 
Back To Table of Contents 

calendar year following the calendar year in which the Contract Holder attains age 73 (or such other age and time as prescribed by the IRC section 401(a)(9)) or in the case of an employer-sponsored plan, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Contract Holder retires, whichever occurs later. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Taxation of Qualified Contracts - Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans).”

 

Once an Income Phase payment option is selected, it may not be changed; however, certain options allow you to withdraw a lump sum. See “Income Phase Payment Options.”

 

Calculation of 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 payments will remain the same over time.

 

Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable Income Phase payments will be held in the Subaccount(s) selected. 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. The Contracts may restrict how many transfers, if any, are allowed among options during the Income Phase. For variable payments, an assumed net investment rate must be selected.

 

Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable Income Phase payments, an assumed net investment rate must also be selected. If you select a 5% rate, your first Income Phase payment will be higher, but subsequent Income Phase payments will increase only if the investment performance of the Subaccounts you selected is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction of fees.

 

If you select a 3.5% rate, your first Income Phase payment will be lower and subsequent Income Phase 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 Statement of Additional Information by calling Customer Service.

 

Charges Deducted

 

When you select an Income Phase payment option (one of the options listed in the table below), a mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge, consisting of a daily deduction of up to 1.40% 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 payment options and is applicable to all variable Income Phase payment 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. For variable options under which we do not assume a mortality risk, we may make a larger profit than under other options.

 

We do not charge a withdrawal charge for amounts applied to Income Phase payments.

PRO.75974-23 27 
Back To Table of Contents 

Required Minimum Payment Amounts

 

The Income Phase payment option selected must result in one or both of the following:

A first payment of at least $20; or
Total yearly payments of at least $100.

 

If your Account Value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, the Contract Holder, on your behalf, must elect a lump-sum payment.

 

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 Customer Service receives proof of death acceptable to us and a payment request in Good Order. 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 ContractsRequired 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 (described in “The Retained Asset Account”) or by check. For additional information about the payment options available to you, please refer to your claim forms or contact Customer Service. 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.

 

Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any Beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the Tax Code. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

 

Income Phase Payment Options

 

The following table lists the Income Phase payment options and accompanying death benefits that may be available under the Contracts. The Tax Code and/or some Contracts may restrict the options and the terms available to you and/or your Beneficiary. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.” Check with your Contract Holder for details. We may offer additional Income Phase payment options under the Contract from time to time. Unless permitted by the terms of the Income Phase payment options as described below, you will not be able to withdraw any Account Value after the annuity commencement date.

 

Terms used in the table:

Annuitant: The person(s) on whose life expectancy the Income Phase payments are calculated; and

Unless prohibited by a prior election of the Contract Holder, the Beneficiary may elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the remaining guaranteed payments. We will not impose any early withdrawal charge.

 

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.

 

Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments

 

If a lump-sum payment is available to a Beneficiary or to you under the Income Phase payment options listed in the table 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 the fixed payments or the 3.5% or 5% assumed net investment rate for variable payments).

 

 

*Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until age 95.

BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT

 

The following table summarizes information about the benefits available under the Contract:

 

Name of Benefit Purpose Is Benefit Standard or Optional Maximum Fee Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Account Value Death Benefit Pays a death benefit equal to the Account Value. Standard No additional fee for this death benefit.

For amounts held in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, if a negative market value adjustment applies, it would be deducted only if the death benefit is withdrawn more than six months after your death. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.

 

Any advisory fees deducted reduce Account Value and thus reduce the amount of this death benefit.

Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider (also known as the “Insurance Rider”) Guarantees a minimum death benefit equal to Purchase Payments (less any withdrawals) made on your behalf. Optional

For 403(b) Contracts: 1.00% of each Purchase Payment.

 

 

Only available on 403(b) Contracts. The guarantee provided by this benefit is payable if death occurs before Income Phase payments commence.

 

For 403(b) Contracts, if, at the time of death, the amount of Purchase Payments (less any withdrawals) made equals the Account Value, the Beneficiary would receive the death benefit amount that would have applied absent election of the optional death benefit. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.

 

Any advisory fees deducted reduce the amount of this death benefit.

DEATH BENEFIT

 

The Contract provides a death benefit in the event of your death, which is payable to the Beneficiary named under the Contract (“Contract Beneficiary”).

 

During the Accumulation Phase

 

For death benefit information applicable to the Income Phase, see “THE Income Phase – Death Benefit During the Income Phase.”

 

Payment Process

 

Following your death, the Contract Beneficiary (on behalf of the Plan Beneficiary, if applicable) 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 (see below); and
Within seven calendar days after Customer Service receives proof of death acceptable to us and a payment request in Good Order, we will mail payment, unless otherwise requested.

 

Until a death benefit request is in Good Order and a payment option is selected, account dollars will remain invested as at the time of your death and no distributions will be made.

PRO.75974-23 32 
Back To Table of Contents 

Benefit Payment Options

 

The following payment options are available, if allowed by the Tax Code:

Lump-sum payment;
Payment in accordance with any of the available Income Phase payment options (see “Income PhaseIncome Phase Payment Options”); or
Payment in accordance with an available systematic distribution option (subject to certain limitations). See “Systematic Distribution Options.”

The following options are also available; however, the Tax Code limits how long the death benefit proceeds may be left in these options:

Leaving your Account Value invested in the Contract; or
Under some Contracts, leaving your Account Value on deposit in the Company’s General Account, and receiving monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual interest payments at the interest rate currently credited on such deposits. The Beneficiary may withdraw the balance on deposit at any time or request to receive payment in accordance with any of the available income phase payment options. See “INCOME PHASE – Payment Options.”

 

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 Customer Service. 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.

 

The Value of the Death Benefit (the Account Value Death Benefit)

 

The death benefit will be based on your Account Value. Under some plans, the minimum death benefit is guaranteed not to fall below the total of all Purchase Payments, adjusted for withdrawals (the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider). For amounts held in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, 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. If a negative market value adjustment applies, it would be deducted only if the death benefit is withdrawn more than six months after your death. We describe the market value adjustment in APPENDIX B and in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.

 

The death benefit is calculated as of the next time we value your account following the date on which Customer Service receives proof of death and a payment request in Good Order. In addition to this amount, some states require we pay interest on amounts invested in Fixed Interest Options, calculated from date of death at a rate specified by state law.

 

Any advisory fee deducted reduces the amount of this death benefit. In particular, withdrawals under your certificate to pay for such fees effect a proportional adjustment to the adjusted Purchase Payment total. Where the death benefit is reduced on a proportionate basis, the reduction could be greater than the amount withdrawn.

PRO.75974-23 33

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. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” for additional information.

 

CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION

 

Purchasing the Contract

 

To purchase the Contract:

The Contract Holder submits the required forms and application to the Company; and
We approve the forms and issue a Contract to the Contract Holder.

 

Participating in the Contract

 

If the Contract provides for the establishment of individual accounts for employees under the plan:

We provide you with enrollment materials for completion and return to us; and
If your enrollment materials are complete and in Good Order, we establish one or more accounts for you. We may establish an employee account for contributions from your salary and an employer account for employer contributions.

 

Acceptance or Rejection

 

We must accept or reject an application or your enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying Purchase Payments for five business days, unless you consent to our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a particular plan, to hold Purchase Payments for longer periods with the permission of the Contract Holder. If we agree to do this, the Purchase Payments remain in a non-interest bearing bank account until processed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject the application or enrollment forms, we will return the forms and any Purchase Payments.

 

Methods of Purchase Payment

 

The Contract may allow one or more of the following Purchase Payment methods:

Continuous Purchase Payments over time into an installment Purchase Payment Contract; and
A lump-sum transfer from a previous plan into a single Purchase Payment Contract, in accordance with our procedures in effect at the time of purchase.

 

For HR 10 Contracts, Purchase Payments must be large enough to fulfill the terms of the plan. In addition, for HR 10 Contracts, Purchase Payments must aggregate $4,000 annually.

 

Allocation of Purchase Payments

 

The Contract Holder or you, if the Contract Holder permits, directs us to allocate Purchase Payments among the investment options available under the plan. Generally, you will specify this information on your enrollment materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future Purchase Payments or transfers of existing balances among investment options may be requested in writing and, where available, by telephone, electronically at www.voyaretirementplans.com or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Allocations must be in whole percentages. See “THE Investment Options.”

Tax Code Restrictions

 

The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations.”

 

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.

 

WITHDRAWALS

 

Making a Withdrawal

 

Subject to limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Interest Options and other restrictions (see “Withdrawal Restrictions” in this section and APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C), the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or a portion of your Account Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

 

Steps for Making a Withdrawal

 

The Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan must:

Select the Withdrawal Amount:
Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required tax, your Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (plus or minus any applicable market value adjustment) and the Fixed Account, minus any applicable early withdrawal charge and redemption fees; or
Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will receive, reduced by any required tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value available in your account. However, the amount actually withdrawn from your account will be adjusted by any applicable early withdrawal charge or redemption fees and any positive or negative market value adjustment for amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account.
Select Investment Options. If not specified, we will withdraw dollars in the same proportion as the values you hold in the various investment options from each investment option in which you have an Account Value; and
Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to Customer Service.

 

For amounts you withdraw from Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, we will redeem the number of Accumulation Units needed to fund the withdrawal and reduce your Account Value accordingly. For amounts you withdraw from a Fixed Interest Option, we will reduce the value of the Fixed Interest Option by the dollar amount of that portion of the withdrawal (and with respect to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, will reflect any positive or negative market value adjustment) and will reduce your Account Value accordingly. A reduction to your Account Value due to a withdrawal results in a lesser amount available to be annuitized and a lesser death benefit (if your death benefit amount is based on your Account Value).

 

Calculation of Your Withdrawal

 

Your plan determines if your Account value is calculated by us or by your plan administrator. If we calculate it, we do so 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 Customer Service receives a request for withdrawal in Good Order; or
On such later date as specified on the disbursement form.
PRO.75974-23 35 
Back To Table of Contents 

Delivery of Payment

 

Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, we will send your payment no later than seven calendar days following our receipt of your disbursement form in Good Order.

 

Reinstatement Privilege

 

Some Contracts allow the one-time use of a reinstatement privilege. Within 30 calendar days after a full withdrawal, if allowed by law and the Contract, you may elect to reinstate all or a portion of the proceeds. We must receive reinstated amounts within 60 days of the withdrawal. We will credit the account for the amount reinstated based on the Subaccount Values next computed following Customer Service’s receipt of your request in Good Order and the amount to be reinstated. We will credit the amount reinstated proportionally for early withdrawal charges imposed at the time of withdrawal. Provided all options are available, we will reinstate 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 Guaranteed Accumulation Account. See APPENDIX B. Consult with a tax adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with reinstatement.

 

Withdrawal Restrictions

 

Section 403(b)(11) of the Tax Code generally prohibits withdrawals 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;
Earnings during such period held on amounts as of December 31, 1988

 

Income attributable to salary reduction contributions and credited on or after January 1, 1989, may not be distributed in the case of hardship.

 

Section 403(b) regulations impose restrictions on the distribution of 403(b) employer contributions under certain Contracts. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility – 403(b) Plans.”

 

The Tax Code and/or your plan may impose other limitations on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility.”

 

SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

 

If available under your plan, a systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase. By remaining in the Accumulation Phase, you retain certain rights and investment flexibility not available during the Income Phase. Because the account remains in the Accumulation Phase, all Accumulation Phase charges continue to apply.

PRO.75974-23 36 
Back To Table of Contents 

Systematic Distribution Options Currently Available

 

These options may be exercised at any time during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. To exercise one of these options, the Account Value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria applicable to that option. To determine what systematic distribution options are available, please write or call Customer Service.

 

Systematic distribution options currently available under the Contract include the following:

Systematic Withdrawal Option (“SWO”)SWO is a series of partial withdrawals from your account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining Accumulation Phase investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the account; and
Estate Conservation Option (“ECO”)ECO offers the same investment flexibility as SWO, but is designed for those who want to receive only the minimum distribution that the Tax Code requires each year. Under ECO, the Company calculates the minimum distribution amount required by law (generally at age 73 or such other age as prescribed by the Tax Code section 401(a)(9)) or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a year.

 

Other Systematic Distribution Options

 

Other systematic distribution options may be available from time to time. Additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options may be obtained from your local representative or by contacting Customer Service.

 

Availability of Systematic Distribution Options

 

The Company reserves the right to discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time, and/or to change the terms for future elections.

 

Electing a Systematic Distribution Option

 

The Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may elect a systematic distribution option. The Plan Sponsor or its delegate generally must provide the Company with certification that you are eligible for a distribution and that the distribution is in accordance with the terms of the plan.

 

Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option

 

Once you elect a systematic distribution option, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may revoke it at any time by submitting a written request to Customer Service. Any revocation will apply to the amount yet to be 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.”

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

Introduction

 

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

Your tax position (or the tax position of the Beneficiary, as applicable) determines the federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the Contracts;
Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past, including the Contracts described in this prospectus;
This section addresses some, but not all, applicable federal income tax rules and generally does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes or any other tax provisions;
We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the Contracts or transactions involving the Contracts; and
No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.

 

We do not intend this information to be tax advice. No attempt is made to provide more than a general summary of information about the use of the Contract with 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), 401(k), 403(a) or 403(b) of the Tax Code. Employers or individuals intending to use the Contract with such plans should seek legal and tax advice.

 

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

 

Eligible Retirement Plans and Programs

 

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

401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) of the Tax Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permit self-employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees; and
403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code allows employees of certain Tax Code Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their gross income the Purchase Payments made, within certain limits, to a contract that will provide an annuity for the employee’s retirement.
457 Plans. Section 457 of the Tax Code permits certain employers to offer deferred compensation plans for their employees. These plans may be offered by state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and certain affiliates of such entities (governmental employers), as well as non-governmental, tax-exempt organizations (non-governmental employers). A 457 plan may be either a 457(b) (eligible) plan or a 457(f) (ineligible) plan. Participation in a 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental employer is generally limited to a select group of management and highly-compensated employees (other than 457(b) plans maintained by nonqualified, church-controlled organizations). Depending on the plan design, the participant may be entitled to determine the investment allocation of their deferred compensation account. The Tax Code also allows employees of governmental 457(b) Plan employers to contribute after-tax salary contributions to a Roth 457(b) account, which provides for tax-free distributions, subject to certain restrictions.
PRO.75974-23 38

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 (i.e., 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 Contracts described in this prospectus. No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the Contract with qualified plans and programs. Contract Owners, sponsoring employers, participants, Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefit under these qualified plans and programs may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan or program, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans and programs to the extent such terms contradict the language of the Contract, unless we consent in writing.

 

Contract Owners, sponsoring employers, participants, Annuitants and Beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should seek tax and/or legal advice regarding the suitability of a contract for your particular situation. The following discussion assumes that Qualified Contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment.

 

Tax Deferral. Under federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as described in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as the guaranteed death benefit or the option of lifetime Income Phase options at established rates) that may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with a qualified financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.

 

Contributions

 

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

 

401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans. The total annual contributions by you and your employer cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $66,000 (as indexed for 2023). 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) plan to generally no more than $22,500 (as indexed for 2023). Contribution limits are subject to annual adjustments for cost-of-living increases. Your own limit may be higher or lower, depending upon certain conditions.

 

Purchase Payments to your account(s) will generally be excluded from your gross income.

PRO.75974-23 39 
Back To Table of Contents 

457(b) Plans. The total annual contributions made by you and your employer to a 457(b) plan cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your includible compensation or $22,500 (as indexed for 2023). Generally, includible compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan, including deferrals to the employer’s Tax Code Section 401(k), 403(b) and 125 cafeteria plans in addition to any deferrals to the 457(b) plan.

 

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

$7,500; or
The participant’s compensation for the year reduced by any other elective deferrals of the participant for the year.

 

Distributions – General

 

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

 

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

The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is directly transferred or rolled over within 60 days to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional 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.

 

A distribution is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life (or life expectancy) of the participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the participant and his designated Beneficiary or for a specified period of ten years or more;
A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
A hardship withdrawal; or
Otherwise not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

 

10% Additional Tax. The Tax Code imposes a 10% additional tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a 401(a), 401(k, 403(a) or 403(b) (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;
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”).

 

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

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.

 

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

Retirement;
Death;
Attainment of age 59½;
Severance from employment;
Disability;
The birth or adoption of a child;
Financial hardship (for 2018 and earlier, contributions only, not earnings); or
Termination of the plan; or
Meeting other circumstances as allowed by federal law, regulations or rulings.

 

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

 

403(b) Plans. Subject to the terms of your 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.

 

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.

PRO.75974-23 41 
Back To Table of Contents 

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

The calendar year you attain age 59½;
When you experience a severance from employment; or
When you experience an unforeseeable emergency.

 

A one-time in-service distribution may also be permitted under a Section 457(b) plan if the total amount payable to the participant does not exceed $5,000 ($7,000 beginning January 1, 2024) and no amounts have been deferred by the participant during the two-year period ending on the date of distribution and there have been no such prior in-service distributions.

 

457(f) Plans. Some Tax Code Section 457(f) plans must meet the requirements of Tax Code Section 409A, which includes standards for deferral elections, restrictions on subsequent elections regarding the time and form of payment and a prohibition on against accelerating payments from such plans. Tax Code Section 409A also allows distributions only upon the occurrence of the following specified events:

Separation from service;
Disability;
Death;
Payment at a specified time (or under a fixed schedule) determined at the date that the deferral is made;
Change in control or ownership of the sponsoring employer; or
Unforeseeable emergency.

 

For more information, please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser.

 

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and 457(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 73 (or such other age as prescribed by the Tax Code section 401(a)(9)) or in the case of an employer-sponsored plan, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you retire, whichever occurs later, unless:

Under 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) plans that are not governmental or church plans, you are a 5% owner, in which case such distributions must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 73 (or such other age as prescribed by the Tax Code section 401(a)(9)); 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 Income Phase 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 Income Phase 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.

25% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the required minimum distribution for any tax year, a 25% 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.

 

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

 

Upon your death, any remaining interest in a 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or 457(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, such as a governmental 457(b) plan, the new law applies to your interest in that plan if you die after 2021. In addition, if your plan is maintained pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements, the new law generally applies to your interest in that plan if you die after 2021 (unless the collective bargaining agreements terminate earlier).

PRO.75974-23 43 
Back To Table of Contents 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Withholding

 

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

 

401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and 457(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.

 

457(b) Plans of Non-Governmental Employers and 457(f) Plans. All distributions from these plans, except death benefit proceeds, are subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding as wages. Death benefit proceeds are not subject to income tax withholding.

 

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.

 

Assignment and Other Transfers

 

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

A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;
An alternate payee under a QDRO in accordance with Tax Code Section 414(p);
The Company as collateral for a loan; or
The enforcement of a federal income tax lien or levy.

Possible Changes in Taxation

 

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

 

Taxation of the Company

 

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The Separate Account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” but is taxed as part of the Company.

 

We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the Separate Account to increase reserves under the Contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed. Because we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Separate Account we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in the tax laws and/or in their interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the Separate Account. In this case we may impose a charge against a separate account (with respect to some or all of the Contracts) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the Separate Account, including from your Contract value invested in the Subaccounts.

 

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we may claim certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment company assets, including Separate Account assets, which are treated as Company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits may reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass the tax benefits to the holders of the Separate Account because (1) the Contract Owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law; and (2) 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.

 

OTHER TOPICS

 

Right to Cancel

 

When and How to Cancel. If the Contract Holder chooses to cancel a Contract, we must receive the Contract and a written notice of cancellation within ten days (or a longer period if required by state law) after the Contract Holder’s receipt of the Contract.

 

If you wish to cancel participation in the Contract and are allowed to do so under the Contract and the plan, you must send the document evidencing your participation and a written notice of cancellation to the Company within ten days after you receive confirmation of your participation in the Contract.

 

Refunds. We will produce a refund no later than seven calendar days after Customer Service receives the required documents and written notice in Good Order. The refund will equal amounts contributed to the Contract or account(s), as applicable, plus any earnings or less any losses attributable to the investment options in which amounts were invested. Any mortality and expense risk charges deducted during the period you held the Contract will not be returned. We will not deduct an early withdrawal charge, nor apply a market value adjustment to any amounts you contributed to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. In certain states, we are required to refund contributions. When a refund of contributions is not required, the Investor bears any investment risk.

Contract Distribution

 

General

 

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

 

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

 

Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the Contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by Contract 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. The commissions paid on transferred assets and recurring payments made during the first year of the participant account range from 2% to 6%. 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 6% may be paid on recurring payments in excess of this amount. In addition, the Company may pay an asset-based commission ranging up to 0.25%.

 

In addition, 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 6% 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 service 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. These other promotional incentives or payments may not be offered to all distributors, and may be limited only to Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. and other distributors affiliated with the Company.

 

We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms’ aggregate or anticipated sales of the Contracts or other criteria. These arrangements may include commission specials, in which additional commissions may be paid in connection with Purchase Payments received for a limited time period, within the maximum 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

PRO.75974-23 46 
Back To Table of Contents 

management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or a specific percentage of Purchase Payments received under the Contracts or which may be a flat dollar amount that varies based upon other factors, including management’s ability to meet or exceed service requirements, sell new Contracts or retain existing Contracts, or sell additional service features such as a common remitting program.

 

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

Marketing/distribution allowances that may be based on the percentages of Purchase Payments received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;
Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of Purchase Payments (a form of lending to registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms, such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which may be conditioned on sales;
Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;
Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for distributors to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;
Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of contracts; and
Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

 

We pay dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the Contracts.

 

The following is a list of the top 25 distributors that, during 2022, received the most compensation, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of registered variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, ranked by total dollars received:

 

1. Lincoln Investment Planning, Inc.; 14. Cetera Advisors LLC;
2. Regulus Advisors, LLC; 15. CapFinancial Securities, LLC;
3. LPL Financial LLC; 16. MMA Securities LLC;
4. Cetera Advisor Networks LLC; 17. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC;
5. Royal Alliance Associates, Inc.; 18. GWN Securities Inc.;
6. Securities America, Inc.; 19. Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, Inc.;
7. American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc.; 20. Kestra Investment Services, LLC;
8. Harbour Investments, Inc.; 21. Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc.;
9. Pensionmark Securities, LLC; 22. Cetera Investment Services LLC;
10. Woodbury Financial Services, Inc.; 23. SagePoint Financial, Inc.;
11. Sigma Financial Corporation; 24. M Holdings Securities, Inc; and
12. Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation; 25. Lockton Investment Securities, LLC.
13. PlanMember Securities Corporation    

 

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 over another.

 

The names of the distributor and the registered representative responsible for your account are stated in your enrollment materials.

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.

 

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

PRO.75974-23 48 
Back To Table of Contents 

fully defend against all such attacks. In addition, due to the sensitive nature of much of the financial and similar personal information we maintain, we may be at particular risk for targeting.

 

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

 

Payment Delay or Suspension

 

We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under the following circumstances:

On any valuation date when the NYSE is closed (except customary weekend and holiday closings), or when trading on the NYSE is restricted;
When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of securities held in the Subaccounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to fairly determine the value of the Subaccount’s assets; and
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

 

Under certain Contracts, we will provide confirmation of scheduled transactions quarterly rather than immediately to the participant.

 

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’s ability to distribute the Contract or upon the Separate Account.

 

Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or Voya Financial Partners, LLC, is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Certain claims are asserted as class actions. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim oftentimes bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim.
Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including Voya Financial Partners, LLC, periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.

 

The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating potential losses requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate

PRO.75974-23 49 
Back To Table of Contents 

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.

The Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account will earn a guaranteed interest rate if amounts are left in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, you will want to contact your local representative or the Company to learn:

The interest rate we will apply to the amounts that you invest in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. We change this rate periodically, so be certain you know what rate we guarantee on the day your account dollars are invested into the Guaranteed Accumulation Account.
The period of time your account dollars need to remain in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account in order to earn that rate. You are required to leave your account dollars in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. 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 to, interest rates available on fixed income investments we may buy using deposits directed to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. 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.

 

Fees and Other Deductions. If all or a portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is withdrawn, you may incur the following:

Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”) as described in this appendix and in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus;
Tax Penalties and/or Tax withholding – See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations; or
Early Withdrawal Charge – See “CHARGES AND Fees.

 

We do not make deductions from amounts in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account to cover mortality and expense risks. Rather, we consider these risks when determining the credited rate.

PRO.75974-23 53 
Back To Table of Contents 

Market Value Adjustment. If you withdraw or transfer your Account Value from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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. Generally:

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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account; or
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.

 

See your Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus for further details.

 

Guaranteed Terms. The Guaranteed Term is the period of time account dollars must be left in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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 Customer Service 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 less; and
Long-term – ten years or less, but greater than three years.

 

At the end of a Guaranteed Term, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted, 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 appendix.

 

Transfer of Account Dollars. Generally, account dollars invested in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account may be transferred among Guaranteed Terms offered through the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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 the Guaranteed Accumulation Account 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. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account cannot be used as an investment option during the Income Phase. However, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted, may notify Customer Service at least 30 days in advance to elect a variable payment option and to transfer your Guaranteed Accumulation Account dollars to any of the Subaccounts available during the Income Phase.

 

Reinstating Amounts Withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. If amounts are withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and then reinstated in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, we will apply the reinstated amount to the current Deposit Period. 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.

 

Your Account Value will not be credited for any negative MVA that was deducted at the time of withdrawal and any taxes that were withheld may also not be refunded, unless required by law.

 

The Company has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this appendix relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and this offering. The Company will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by contacting Customer Service. The number assigned to the registration statement for this offering is 333-266021.

APPENDIX C: FIXED ACCOUNT

 

The Fixed Account is an investment option that may be available during the Accumulation Phase under the Contracts. The amounts allocated to the Fixed Account is held in the Company’s General Account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. All guarantees and benefits provided under the Contracts that are not related to the Separate Account are subject to the claims paying ability and financial strength of the Company and our General Account.

 

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 upon exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the Fixed Account is subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of the statements. The Fixed Account is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

 

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 a higher interest rate from time to time, but the rate we credit will never fall below the guaranteed minimum specified in the Contract. The interest rate to be credited to the amounts allocated to the Fixed Account may be changed at any time, except that we will not apply a decrease to the current credited interest 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 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. For information about interest rates charged, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

 

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 CHARGES AND FeesTransaction Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge.”

 

Transfers. During the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you if permitted by the plan may transfer account dollars from the Fixed Account to any other available investment option. We may vary the dollar amount that you are allowed to transfer, but it will never be less than 10% of your Account Value held in the Fixed Account.

 

By notifying Customer Service at least 30 days before Income Phase payments begin you, or the Contract Holder on your behalf, may elect to have amounts transferred to one or more of the Subaccounts available during the Income Phase to provide variable payments.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

 

The Company issues the Contract described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing the Contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the Contract 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, which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc. In May 2013, the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VOYA.”

 

The Company serves as the depositor for the Separate Account.

 

Other than the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge 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 “CHARGES AND 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
(THE “SEPARATE ACCOUNT”)

 

We established Variable Annuity Account C 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 by the Company for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts issued by the Company. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Although we hold title to the assets of Variable Annuity Account C, 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 Contract that are not related to the Separate Account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our General Account.

 

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. 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.

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.

 

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

 

Standardized Average Annual Total Returns

 

We calculate standardized average annual total returns according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. This shows the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the Subaccounts over the most recent month-end, one, five and ten-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.

 

We include all recurring charges during each period (e.g., mortality and expense risk charges, annual maintenance fees, administrative expense charges, if any), and any applicable early withdrawal charges).

 

Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns

 

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

 

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 tenth valuation before the first Income Phase payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide Income Phase 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 Income Phase 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 Annuity 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 Income Phase payment and subsequent Income Phase payments also vary depending on the assumed net investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first Income Phase payment, but Income Phase payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an annual basis.

 

Income Phase payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a lower first Income Phase payment, but subsequent Income Phase payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

 4 
Back To Table of Contents 

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 Income Phase payment based upon 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 “THE CONTRACT The Account Value” in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the appropriate Subaccount(s) (with a ten 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% 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 Income Phase 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 Income Phase payment option elected, a first monthly variable Income Phase payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the Annuitant’s first monthly Income Phase 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 Income Phase payment was due was $13.400000. When this value is divided into the first monthly Income Phase 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 tenth 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% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate would be .9959968 = .9998663^30.

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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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.

We have served as the Separate Accounts Auditor since 2001.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C OF
VOYA RETIREMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Variable Annuity Account C of Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Account") was established by ("VRIAC" or the "Company") to support the operations of variable annuity contracts ("Contracts"). The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. ("Voya Financial"), a holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware.

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

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, 2022, the Account had 383 investment divisions (the "Divisions"), 199 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 184 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, Voya Investments, LLC ("VIL").

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C OF
VOYA RETIREMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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 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 5.5%. 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 Company has evaluated all events through the date the financial statements were issued to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events that would have a material effect on the financial statements of the Account.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values ("NAV"). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

The Account’s assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2022 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, 2022. The Account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2022.

The Account categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of 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 valuation techniques that require 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 8.5% 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.

* We identified immaterial errors in certain divisions related to the unit fair value and/or total return corresponding to the lowest to highest expense ratios which were corrected in 2022.
A The Fund Inception Date represents the first date the fund received money.
B The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the Division, excluding capital gains distributions, divided by the average net assets. The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Division invests.
C The Expense Ratio considers only the annualized contract expenses borne directly by the Account, excluding expenses charged through the redemption of units, and is equal to the mortality and expense, administrative, and other charges, as defined in the Charges and Fees Note.
D Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Contract presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These percentages represent the range of total returns available as of the report date and correspond with the expense ratio lowest to highest.

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 and Annuity Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, 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 Company Accounting 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.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

  Deferred policy acquisition costs and Value of business acquired
Description of the Matter As disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired (“DAC/VOBA”) totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 2022, net of unrealized gains and losses. The carrying amount of the DAC related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts is the total of costs deferred less amortization net of interest. The carrying amount of the VOBA related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts is the outstanding value of in-force business acquired, based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the insurance contracts at the time of the acquisition, less amortization net of interest. DAC and VOBA related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits.

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, there is a significant amount of uncertainty inherent in calculating estimated gross profits as the calculation includes significant management judgment in developing certain assumptions such as persistency, interest crediting rates, fee income, returns associated with separate account performance, expenses to administer the business, and certain economic variables. Management’s assumptions are adjusted, known as unlocking, over time for emerging experience and expected changes in trends. The unlocking results in DAC/VOBA amortization being recalculated, using the new assumptions for estimated gross profits, that results either in additional or less cumulative amortization expense.

Auditing management’s estimate of DAC/VOBA related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts was complex due to the highly judgmental nature of assumptions included in the projection of estimated gross profits used in the valuation of DAC/VOBA.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls over the DAC/VOBA estimation process, including, among others, controls related to management’s evaluation of the need to update assumptions based on the comparison of actual Company experience to previous assumptions and updating investment margins for current and expected future market conditions.

We utilized actuarial specialists to assist with our audit procedures, which included, among others, reviewing the methodology applied by management by comparing to the methodology used in prior periods as well as industry practice. To assess the assumptions used in measuring estimated gross profits, we compared the significant assumptions noted above with historical experience, observable market data and management’s estimates of prospective changes in these assumptions. We also independently recalculated estimated gross profits for a sample of policies for comparison with the actuarial result developed by management.

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 to better align business activities to the Company's priorities. This business was transferred as part of the Individual Life Transaction described below. The Company's products are generally distributed through independent brokers and advisors, third-party administrators and consultants.

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 non-qualified 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.

SLD issued surplus notes and $73 of Resolution (Life U.S. Intermediate Holdings Ltd.) issued preferred shares from affiliated entities, which were received in connection with the Individual Life Transaction.

On June 9, 2021, Voya Financial completed the sale of the independent financial planning channel of Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. ("VFA") to Cetera Financial Group, Inc. (“Cetera”), one of the nation’s largest networks of independently managed broker-dealers. VFA is one of the channels through which VRIAC distributes its products. In connection with this transaction, VFA transferred more than 800 independent financial professionals serving retail customers with approximately $38 billion in assets under advisement to Cetera, while retaining approximately 500 field and phone-based financial professionals who support our business.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value. The amount of the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company had a triggering event related to a decrease in the market price of its office building. Consequently, the Company determined its fair value, based on an appraisal, to be lower than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $32, which is included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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, Voya Institutional Plan Services ("VIPS"), and Voya Retirement Advisors ("VRA"). 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. The inputs into the Company's estimates and assumptions consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company's critical and significant accounting estimates. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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;
DAC and VOBA;
Valuation of investments and derivatives;
Investment 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: The Company measures its equity securities at fair value and recognizes any changes in fair value in net income.

The Company's fixed maturities are generally designated as available-for-sale. In addition, the Company has fixed maturities accounted for using the fair value option ("FVO"), and in the second quarter of 2021, the Company established a trading portfolio of fixed maturity debt securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and presented net of related changes in DAC, VOBA and Deferred income taxes. Trading securities are valued at fair value, with the changes in fair value recorded in Net gains (losses) and interest income recorded in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, certain fixed maturities have embedded derivatives, which are reported with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 Net gains (losses). Changes in fair value associated with derivatives purchased to hedge CMOs are also recorded in Net gains (losses).

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.

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.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which are reported at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable is reported in Accrued investment income 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.

Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of debt type, capital market factors, and market vacancy rates, and loan-specific risk characteristics such as debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan-to-value (“LTV”), collateral size, seniority of the loan, segmentation, and property types.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded in Net gains (losses). Loans are written off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written-off and expected to be written-off.

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 mortgage 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.

For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. Property obtained from foreclosed mortgage loans is recorded in Other investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 consist primarily of private equity 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.

Other Investments: Other investments are comprised primarily of the Company's investment in outstanding common stock of an affiliate, Voya Special Investments, Inc., which is accounted for as an equity method investment. Other investments also include Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock and property obtained from foreclosed mortgage loans, as well as other miscellaneous investments. The Company is a member of the FHLB system and is required to own a certain amount of FHLB

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.

Securities Pledged: 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 an agreed-upon percentage 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. See also Repurchase Agreements below.

Investment Impairments

The Company evaluates its available-for-sale general account investments quarterly to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from credit loss or other factors. This evaluation process entails considerable judgment and estimation. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, 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. A 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 gains (losses) as impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the intent impairment criteria but the Company has determined that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss allowance is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company uses the following methodology and significant inputs in determining whether a credit loss exists:

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

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
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 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, 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.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Net gains (losses) as impairments. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of accrued interest receivable as part of its quarterly impairment evaluation of available-for-sale investments. Losses are recorded in Net investment income when the Company believes the uncollectability of the accrued interest receivable is confirmed.

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, 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.

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 Net 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.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

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.

Even if a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, there may be an element of ineffectiveness of the hedge. The ineffective portion of a hedging relationship subject to hedge accounting is recognized in Net gains (losses).

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 Net 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 Net gains (losses). Derivative gains 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 Net 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 Net gains (losses). 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 Net gains (losses).

In addition, the Company previously had coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance arrangements that were recaptured in March 2020, accounted for under the deposit method, that contained embedded derivatives, the fair value of which was based on the change in the fair value of the underlying assets held in trust. 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
C-16

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
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/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. DAC/VOBA amortization is recorded in Net amortization of Deferred policy acquisition costs and Value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Amortization Methodologies
The Company amortizes DAC/VOBA related to deferred annuity contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits. 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/ VOBA, estimated benefits and related expenses. In subsequent years, the Company performs testing to assess the recoverability of DAC/VOBA on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential loss recognition issue exists. If DAC/VOBA are not deemed recoverable from future gross profits, charges will be applied against DAC/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 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/VOBA related 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/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 may have a significant impact on DAC/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 deferred annuity 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 an 8% 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 include general account investment returns, crediting rates, expense and fees as well as policyholder behavior assumptions such as premiums, surrenders and lapses.

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 amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the contracts, which typically range from 5 to 15 years.

Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

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, 2022 and 2021, contract cost assets were $100 and $104, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, amortization expenses of $22, $23 and $23, 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 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 2.3% to 5.5%.

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 range up to 4.2%. 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. Changes in estimated fair value, that are not related to attributed fees or premiums collected or payments made, are reported in Net 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 ("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. Changes in estimated fair value, that are not related to attributed fees collected or payments made, are reported in Net gains (losses).

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.

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

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. The underlying investments include mutual funds, short term investments, cash and fixed maturities. 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, which are included in Short-term investments under securities loan agreements, including collateral delivered, 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 the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Surrender charges are reported in Other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 and recordkeeping and administration ("R&A") services, the Company recognizes revenue as services are provided, generally over time. For distribution and shareholder servicing , the Company recognizes revenue as related consideration is received and 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. Revenue for various financial service is recorded in Fee income and Other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Financial services revenue is disaggregated by type of service in the following table:

Year Ended December 31,
2022
2021 2020
Advisory and R&A $ 473  $ 514  $ 423 
Distribution and shareholder servicing 75  $ 90  79 
Total financial services revenue
548  604  502 
Revenue from other sources (1)
470   522   402  
Total Fee income and Other revenue
$ 1,018  $ 1,126  $ 904 
(1) Primarily consists of revenue from insurance contracts and financial instruments.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, a portion of the revenue recognized in the current period from distribution services is related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Receivables of $90 and $107 are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses certain assumptions and estimates in determining (a) the income taxes payable or refundable to/from Voya Financial, Inc. for the current year, (b) the provision for income taxes and (c) the deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The provision for income taxes is based on income and expense reported in the financial statements after adjustments for permanent differences between our financial statements and consolidated federal income tax return. Permanent differences include the dividends received deduction. As a result of permanent differences, the effective tax rate reflected in the financial statements may be different than the actual rate in the income tax return. Current income tax receivable or payable is recognized within Other assets or Other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Temporary differences between the Company's financial statements and income tax return create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets represent the tax benefit of future deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company's deferred tax 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. 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 and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, the amount and character of book income or losses in recent years, projected future taxable income and future reversals of temporary differences, tax planning strategies we would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused, and the length of time carryforwards can be utilized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authority. The Company also considers positions that have been reviewed and agreed to as part of an examination by the applicable taxing authority. For items that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company measures the tax position as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate resolution with the applicable 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 in Premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 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.

Reinsurance recoverable and deposit asset balances are reported net of the allowance for credit losses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of capital market factors, counterparty financial information and ratings, and reinsurance agreement-specific risk characteristics such as collateral type, collateral size, and covenant strength.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the reinsurance recoverable balance to present the net amount expected to be collected on the reinsurance recoverable. The change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded in Policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Current reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery and payable balances 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.

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 and is included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 retirement, 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.

Adoption of New Pronouncements

The following table provides a description of the Company's adoption of new Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the impact of the adoption on the Company's financial statements:
Standard Description of Requirements Effective Date and Method of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform
This standard, issued in March 2020, provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.
The amendments were effective as of March 12, 2020, the issuance date of the ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company
elected to apply the optional expedient provided in ASU 2020-04 for qualifying contract modifications. To date, adoption of the guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of reference rate reform on contract modifications and hedging relationships as transition progresses.
ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
This standard, issued in June 2016:
Introduces a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to measure impairment on certain types of financial instruments,
Requires an entity to estimate lifetime expected credit losses, under the new CECL model, based on relevant information about historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts,
Modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, and
Provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination.

In addition, the FASB issued various amendments during 2018, 2019, and 2020 to clarify the provisions of ASU 2016-13.
January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost and the prospective method for available-for-sale debt securities.
The Company recorded a $8 decrease, net of tax, to Unappropriated retained earnings as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. The
transition adjustment includes recognition of an allowance for credit losses of $12 related to mortgage loans, net of the effect of DAC/VOBA and other intangibles of $2 and deferred income taxes of $2.

The provisions that required prospective adoption had no effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In addition, disclosures have been updated to reflect accounting policy changes made as a result of the implementation of ASU
2016-13. (See the Significant Accounting Policies section.)

Sale
Restrictions
This standard, issued in June
2022, clarifies that
contractual restrictions on
equity security sales are not
considered part of the
security unit of account and,
therefore, are not considered
in measuring fair value. In
addition, the restrictions
cannot be recognized and

effective for fiscal years
beginning after
December 15, 2023,
including interim
periods within those
fiscal years, and are
required to be applied
prospectively, with any
adjustments from the

earnings and disclosed.
The Company is currently in the process of
determining the impact of adoption of the
provisions of ASU 2022-03.
ASU 2022-02,
Troubled Debt
Restructurings
("TDRs") and
Vintage
Disclosures
This standard, issued in March 2022, eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors, requires enhanced disclosures for creditors about loan modifications when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and requires public business entities to include current-period gross write-offs in the vintage disclosure tables. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities have the option to apply the amendments involving the recognition and measurement of TDRs using a modified retrospective transition method; the other amendments are required to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently in the process of
determining the impact of adoption of the
provisions of ASU 2022-02.

ASU 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long- Duration Contracts
This standard, issued in August 2018, changes the measurement and disclosures of insurance liabilities and DAC for long-duration contracts issued by insurers. In addition to expanded disclosures, the standard’s requirements include:
Annual review and, if
necessary, update of cash flow assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited payment insurance contracts. The effect of updating cash flow assumptions will be measured on a retrospective catch-up basis and presented in the Statement of Operations in the period in which the update is made. The rate used to discount these liabilities will be required to be updated quarterly, with related changes in the liability recorded in AOCI.
Fair value measurement of contract guarantee features qualifying as Market Risk Benefits ("MRB"), with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations, except for changes in the instrument specific credit risk, which will be recorded in AOCI.
Amortization of DAC on a constant level basis over the expected term of the contracts, without reference to revenue or profitability. Elimination of adjustments in AOCI related to DAC and balances amortized on a basis consistent with DAC. DAC will no longer be subjected to loss recognition testing.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Initial adoption for the liability for future policy benefits and DAC is required to be reported using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. For market risk benefits, full retrospective application is required.
Evaluation of the implications of these requirements and related potential financial statement impacts is continuing, in accordance with an established governance framework and implementation plan, which includes design and testing of internal controls related to new processes. The Company has elected to apply a modified retrospective transition method for the liability for future policy benefits and DAC.

The Company expects the January 1, 2021 transition impact will increase Total shareholder’s equity by approximately $0.6 billion primarily driven by a positive impact to AOCI resulting from the reversal of DAC/VOBA balances of approximately $1.0 billion after tax, offset by an unfavorable impact to AOCI of approximately $0.3 billion after tax resulting from the remeasurement of Future policy benefits and Reinsurance recoverable using January 1, 2021 discount rates. The expected transition effect on Total shareholder's equity will also include an unfavorable impact on Retained earnings (deficit) of approximately $0.1 billion after tax associated with the establishment of MRB liabilities related to guaranteed minimum benefits on certain deferred annuity contracts.

The majority of the ASU 2018-12 transition impact of approximately $0.3 billion associated with Future policy benefits and Reinsurance recoverable and approximately 20% of the $0.1 billion transition impact associated with the establishment of MRB liabilities are related to business that was reinsured to Resolution Life US in January 2021.

The ultimate effects the standard will have on the financial statements are highly dependent on policyholder behavior, actuarial assumptions and macroeconomic conditions, particularly interest rates and spreads, which may materially change ASU 2018-12-related equity impacts in periods subsequent to transition. The Company estimates the impact of ASU 2018-12 will shift to a reduction of Total shareholder’s equity of between $0.8 billion to $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2022. The change from transition is primarily related to a negative impact in AOCI of approximately $1.5 billion resulting from the reversal of DAC/VOBA balances, which have declined significantly since January 2021 due to increases in interest rates and spreads. While rising interest rates since January 1, 2021 will result in a less unfavorable impact on AOCI due to remeasurement of the liability for Future policy benefits, this will be materially offset by the impact from remeasurement of Reinsurance recoverable.

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 reported at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Net gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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, 2022 and 2021, approximately 46.9% and 45.1%, 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, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any securities pledged in dollar rolls, repurchase agreement transactions or reverse repurchase agreements.

Securities Lending

The Company engages in securities lending whereby the initial collateral is required at a minimum rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned securities.  The lending agent retains the collateral and invests it in high quality 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. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of loaned securities was $690 and $739, 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, 2022 and 2021, cash collateral retained by the lending agent and invested in short-term liquid assets on the Company's behalf was $615 and $677, respectively, and is recorded in Short-term investments under securities loan agreements, including collateral delivered on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, liabilities to return collateral of $615 and $677, 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, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of securities retained as collateral by the lending agent on the Company’s behalf was $103 and $87, respectively.

The following table presents borrowings under securities lending transactions by asset class pledged as of the dates indicated:
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
U.S. Treasuries $ 51  $ 42 
U.S. corporate public securities 466  479 
Foreign corporate public securities and foreign governments 201  243 
Payables under securities loan agreements $ 718  $ 764 

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 ("VIEs")

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 and ownership interest of 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 Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("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 does 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 Fair Value Measurements 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 Net 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 impaired as of December 31, 2022. 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.

Gross unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities, including securities pledged, increased $2,517 from $111 to $2,628 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in gross unrealized capital losses was driven primarily by sharply higher interest rates across the yield curve and moderately wider credit spreads. As of December 31, 2022, $6 of the total $2,628 of gross unrealized losses were from 9 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 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 impaired.

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 credit allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A credit 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 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, 2022, the Company did not have any new commercial mortgage loan troubled debt restructurings. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had six new private placement troubled debt restructurings with a pre and post modification carrying value of $91 and $67, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no commercial mortgage loan troubled debt restructurings or new private placement troubled debt restructurings.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any private placements modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default or 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 performance, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is monitored on a loan specific basis through the review of submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items. This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt. 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.
The following tables present commercial mortgage loans by year of origination and LTV ratio as of the dates indicated. The information is updated as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Commercial mortgage 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. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no commercial mortgage loan in non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no commercial mortgage loan in non-accrual status. There was no interest income recognized on loans in non-accrual status for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $8 of investments in fixed maturities that did not produce net investment income. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no 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 Gains (Losses)

Net 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 impairment of investments. Net 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 gains (losses) also include changes in fair value of trading debt securities and 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.

3.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company primarily enters into the following types of derivatives:

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.

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.

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.

N/A - Not Applicable

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, 2022 and 2021. 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 accounting treatment for certain of these derivatives as they generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules outlined in ASC Topic 815. 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, 2022, the Company held $50 and pledged $62 of net cash collateral related to OTC derivative contracts and cleared derivative contracts, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held $8 and delivered $2 of net cash collateral related to OTC derivative contracts and cleared derivative contracts, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, the Company delivered $102 of securities and held $7 securities as collateral. As of December 31, 2021, the Company delivered $60 of securities and held $2 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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
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.

When available, the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are based on quoted prices of identical assets in active markets and therefore, reflected in Level 1. 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.

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.

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"), Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates, and Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Company uses SOFR discounting for valuations of interest rate derivatives; however, certain legacy positions may continue to be discounted on OIS. 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.

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.

(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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $41.4 billion and $44.2 billion, respectively. The additional liability related to minimum guarantees as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $21 and $25, 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, 2022 and 2021 was $7.8 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively.

7.    Reinsurance

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has reinsurance treaties with 3 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts. 

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

(A wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Concurrently with the sale of SLD disclosed in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to these Consolidated Financial Statements, SLD entered into reinsurance agreements with insurance subsidiaries of Voya Financial, including VRIAC. Pursuant to these agreements, these subsidiaries reinsured to SLD certain individual life insurance and annuities businesses. The reinsurance agreements along with the sale of the legal entities resulted 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 were ceded to SLD and related assets transferred. The reinsurance obligation with counterparty SLD are secured by collateralized assets held in a trust. VRIAC continues to be subsidiary of Voya Financial. The reinsurance transaction does not extinguish the Company’s primary liability to its policyholders. As a result of the reinsurance transactions on January 4, 2021, the Company reinsured $3.5 billion of policyholder liabilities under indemnity coinsurance and modified coinsurance arrangements. As of January 4, 2021, reinsurance recoverable associated with these transactions was $2.5 billion. The Company ceded $2.4 billion in premiums and $2.5 billion in policyholder benefits. The Company transferred assets with a fair market value of $3.7 billion as consideration for the reinsurance arrangements. As a result of the transfer of invested assets the Company recognized $0.5 billion in pre-tax realized gains. The Company also recognized a non-cash liability of $73 relating to the pretax net cost of reinsurance liability and $1.5 billion deposit asset, respectively, on January 4, 2021 as a result of entering into the reinsurance agreements. The deposit relates to liabilities related to Contract owner account balances that currently exist for the related underlying policies.

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, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, related to Reinsurance recoverable from the subsidiary of Lincoln.

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 years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, VRIAC declared and paid ordinary dividends to its Parent in the aggregate amounts of $48 and $78, respectively, as well as an extraordinary dividends in the aggregate amounts of $809 and $474, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, VRIAC did not receive capital contributions from its Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2021, VRIAC received $318 capital contributions from its Parent, comprised of cash and non-cash assets.

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 $549, $794 and $299 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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,

Deferred tax assets
Net unrealized investment losses $ 511  $ — 
Investments 48  57 
Compensation and benefits 55  63

Other liabilities (11) (1)
Total gross liabilities (336) (558)
Net deferred income tax asset (liability) $ 561  $ (227)

The following table sets forth the federal and credit carryforwards for tax purposes as of the dates indicated:
December 31,
2022 2021
Federal net operating loss carryforward $ 1,065  (1) $ 1,006 
Credit carryforward 59 (2) — 
(1) NOL not subject to expiration.
(2) Includes credits claimed in 2022 related to tax years 2012 - 2017. Expires between 2025 and 2032.

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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021 of $128 and $128, respectively, in continuing operations, offset by a corresponding benefit in Other comprehensive income.

The Company reviews all available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is recorded, including historical and projected pre-tax book income, tax planning strategies and reversals of temporary differences. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had year-to-date losses on securities of $3,514 in Other comprehensive income primarily driven by increases in interest rates. The Company determined that the increase in unrealized losses on fixed income investments will be offset in future years by the ordinary income produced from these investments as they reach maturity. Additionally, operating income remained positive for the period and was largely consistent with the 2021 year-end valuation allowance analysis. After evaluating the positive and negative evidence, the Company did not change its judgement regarding the realization of deferred tax assets and did not establish a valuation allowance in 2022.

Tax Sharing Agreement

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a (payable)/receivable to/from Voya Financial of $4 and $(42), 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 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Tax Regulatory Matters

For the tax years 2020 through 2022, the Company participated in the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP"), which is a continuous audit program provided by the IRS. For the 2020 tax year, the Company was in the Compliance Maintenance Bridge ("Bridge") phase of CAP. In the Bridge phase, the IRS did not conduct any review or provide any letters of assurance for that tax year.

Tax Legislative Matters

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA of 2022") was signed into law creating the corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT"). The IRS has only issued limited guidance on the CAMT, and uncertainty remains regarding the application of and potential adjustments to the CAMT. The Company is uncertain as to whether it will qualify for the CAMT and will continue to evaluate the applicability as more guidance is provided.

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.

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 $14, $13 and $11 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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 $19, $18 and $17, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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.
 
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, 2022 and 2021:
Year Ended December 31,
2022 2021
Change in benefit obligation:
Benefit obligation, January 1 $ 78  $ 84 
Interest cost
Benefits paid (6) (6)
Actuarial (gains) losses on obligation (13) (3)
Benefit obligation, December 31 $ 61  $ 78 
(1) Includes actuarial gain of $(13) due to change in discount rate for the year ended December 31, 2022. The discount rate increased 2.47% during 2022 driven by an increase in the 30-year Treasury and corporate AA yields.

Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other liabilities and in AOCI were as follows as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:
December 31,
2022 2021
Accrued benefit cost $ (61) $ (78)
Net amount recognized $ (61) $ (78)
(1)Accrued benefit cost is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Assumptions

The discount rate used in the measurement of the December 31, 2022 and 2021 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:
2022 2021
Discount rate 5.47  % 3.00  %

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:
2022 2021 2020
Discount rate 3.00  % 2.67  % 3.36  %
 
Since the benefit plans of the Company are unfunded, an assumption for return on plan assets is not required.

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 HRA contribution. 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, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

12.    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, 2022, 2021 and 2020, rent expense for leases was $3, $3 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, 2022 the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to acquire mortgage loans of $51 and purchase limited partnerships and private placement investments of $620.

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 agreements, 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:

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, 2022, the Company had $730 in non-putable funding agreements, which are included in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance sheets.

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.

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, 2022, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of any amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, as 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 Ravarino, et al. v. Voya Financial, Inc., et al. (USDC District of Connecticut, No. 3:21-cv-01658)(filed December 14, 2021). In this putative class action, the plaintiffs allege that the named defendants, which include VRIAC, breached their fiduciary duties of prudence and loyalty in the administration of the Voya 401(k) Savings Plan. The plaintiffs claim that the named defendants did not exercise proper prudence in their management of allegedly poorly performing investment options, including proprietary funds, and passed excessive investment-management and other administrative fees for proprietary and non-proprietary funds onto plan participants. The plaintiffs also allege that the defendants engaged in self-dealing through the inclusion of the Voya Stable Value Option into the plan offerings and by setting the “crediting rate” for participants’ investment in the Stable Value Fund artificially low in relation to Voya’s general account investment returns in order to maximize the spread and Voya’s profits at the participants’ expense. The complaint seeks disgorgement of unjust profits as well as costs incurred. 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.
13.    Related Party Transactions

Operating Agreements

VRIAC has certain agreements whereby it generates revenues and incurs expenses with affiliated entities. The agreements are as follows:

Investment Advisory agreement with Voya Investment Management LLC ("VIM"), an affiliate, in which VIM provides asset management, administrative and accounting services for VRIAC's general account. VRIAC incurs a fee, which is paid quarterly, based on the value of the assets under management.

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.

Reinsurance Agreements

In March 2020, the Company recaptured an automatic reinsurance agreement entered into in 2012 with its affiliate, SLDI, to manage the reserve and capital requirements in connection with a portion of its deferred annuities business. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company reinsured to SLDI, on an indemnity reinsurance basis, a quota share of its liabilities on certain contracts. The agreement was accounted for under the deposit method. The recapture resulted in a loss of $20 that was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Investment Advisory and Other Fees

VFP acts as a distributor of insurance products issued by its affiliates, which may in turn invest in mutual fund products issued by certain of its affiliates. For each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, distribution revenues received by VFP related to affiliated mutual fund products were $26, $31, and $26.

Financing Agreements

Reciprocal Loan Agreement

The Company maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with Voya Financial, an affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on April 1, 2026, either party can borrow from the other up to 3.0% of the Company's statutory admitted assets as of the preceding December 31. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, interest on any borrowing by either the Company or Voya Financial was charged at a rate based on the prevailing market rate for similar third-party borrowings for securities.

Under this agreement, the Company incurred interest expense of $1 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and immaterial interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company earned interest income of $5, $1 and $5 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Interest expense and income are included in Operating expenses and Net investment income, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding receivable and VIPS had a $31 outstanding payable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding receivable of $130 and VIPS had a $19 outstanding payable from/to Voya Financial under the reciprocal loan agreement.

Item 30. 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 33-77d. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(2); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the individual was named a party.

 

A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, Voya Financial, Inc. maintains Directors and Officers Liability, Professional Liability (aka E&O) and Financial Institutions Bond (aka Fidelity), Employment Practices liability and Network Security (aka Cyber) insurance policies. The policies cover Voya Financial, Inc. and any company in which Voya Financial, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. The policies cover the funds and assets of the principal underwriter/depositor under the care, custody and control of Voya Financial, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
