Secretary 20 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55402 ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT The Depositor owned 100% of the stock of a New York company, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York ("First Golden"). The primary purpose of First Golden was to offer variable products in the state of New York. First Golden was merged into ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, an affiliate of the Depositor on April 1, 2002. The following persons control or are under common control with the Depositor: DIRECTED SERVICES, INC. ("DSI") - This corporation is a general business corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, and is wholly owned by ING Groep, N.V. ("ING"). The primary purpose of DSI is to act as a broker-dealer in securities. It acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of variable insurance products including variable annuities as required by the SEC. The contracts are issued by the Depositor. DSI also has the power to carry on a general financial, securities, distribution, advisory or investment advisory business; to act as a general agent or broker for insurance companies and to render advisory, managerial, research and consulting services for maintaining and improving managerial efficiency and operation. DSI is also registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. The registrant is a segregated asset account of the Company and is therefore owned and controlled by the Company. All of the Company's outstanding stock is owned and controlled by ING. Various companies and other entities controlled by ING may therefore be considered to be under common control with the registrant or the Company. Such other companies and entities, together with the identity of their controlling persons (where applicable), are set forth on the following organizational chart. Subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 28 to Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 33-75988), as filed on April 10, 2003 for Variable Annuity Account C of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS As of July 31, 2003, there are 148,323 qualified contract owners and 160,762 non-qualified contract owners in Golden American's Separate Account B. ITEM 28: INDEMNIFICATION Golden American shall indemnify (including therein the prepayment of expenses) any person who is or was a director, officer or employee, or who is or was serving at the request of Golden American as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings against him by reason of the fact that he is or was such a director, officer or employee to the extent and in the manner permitted by law. Golden American may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other person who is or was serving Golden American in any capacity. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to determine who may be indemnified under this paragraph and to what extent (not to exceed the extent provided in the above paragraph) any such person may be indemnified. Golden American or its parents may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person or persons to be indemnified under the provision in the above paragraphs, against any such liability to the extent permitted by law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In the event that a claim of such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person and the SEC is still of the same opinion, the Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy as expressed by the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. ITEM 29: PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER (a) At present, Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), the Registrant's Distributor, also serves as principal underwriter for all contracts issued by Golden American. DSI is the principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B, Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa Separate Account A, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B, Alger Separate Account A of Golden American and the ING Investors Trust (formerly known as The GCG Trust). (b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal officers and directors of Directed Services, Inc., the Registrant's Distributor. The principal business address for each officer and director following is 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380-1478, unless otherwise noted.
