ITEM 26: PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE
DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 53 to Registration
Statement on Form N-4 for Variable Annuity Account C of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company
(File No. 333-01107), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2008.

ITEM 27: NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of August 29, 2008, there are 4,569 qualified contract owners and 3,816 non-qualified contract
owners.

ITEM 28: INDEMNIFICATION

ING USA 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 ING USA 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.

ING USA may also, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify any other person who is or was serving
ING USA 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.

A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director
of the corporation. ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability umbrella
insurance policy issued by an international insurer. The policy covers ING America Insurance Holdings,
Inc. and any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling interest of 50%
or more. This would encompass the principal underwriter as well as the depositor. Additionally, the
parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains an excess

umbrella cover with limits in excess of $125,000,000. The policy provides for the following types of
coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices,
fiduciary and fidelity.

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 LLC, the Registrant’s Distributor, serves as principal underwriter
for all contracts issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. Directed Services LLC is the
principal underwriter for Separate Account A, Separate Account B, ING USA Separate Account EQ,
ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account NY-B, Alger Separate Account A of
ING USA and the ING Investors Trust.

(b) The following information is furnished with respect to the principal officers and directors of
Directed Services LLC, 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.
