Notice of Upcoming Fund Reorganizations

become part of the following Surviving Portfolios:
 
    Disappearing Portfolio Surviving Portfolio
    ING American Funds Growth-Income Portfolio ING Growth and Income Portfolio (Class ADV)
ING Legg Mason ClearBridge Aggressive Growth
Portfolio (Class S)
ING Large Cap Growth Portfolio (Class S)
 
2. As a consequence of the reorganization involving the ING American Funds Growth-Income Portfolio referenced
above, effective on the Reorganization Date, Class ADV of ING Growth and Income Portfolio will automatically
be added to your contract as an investment option. The information about the ING Growth-Income Portfolio in
Appendix B–The Funds remains unchanged.
 
 
Important Information about the Upcoming Fund Reorganizations
 
Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may transfer amounts allocated to a subaccount that invests in a
Disappearing Portfolio to any other available subaccount or any available fixed interest option. See also the
Transfers Among Your Investments section of your Contract Prospectus for further information about
making transfers, including limits on transfers.
On the Reorganization Date, your investment in a subaccount that invests in a Disappearing Portfolio will
automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Surviving Portfolio
with an equal total net asset value.
    You will not incur any fees or charges or any tax liability because of the reorganizations.
Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future allocations directed to the subaccounts
that invest in the Disappearing Portfolios after the Reorganization Date will be automatically allocated to the
subaccounts that invest in the corresponding Surviving Portfolios. You may give us alternative allocation
instructions at any time by contacting our Customer Service Center at:
 
          Customer Service Center
          P.O. Box 9271
          Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271
 
          1-800-366-0066
 
After the Reorganization Date, each Disappearing Portfolio will no longer exist and all references to them in
the Contract Prospectus will be replaced by the corresponding Surviving Portfolio.
 
3. The minimum and maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the Contract Prospectus will not
change as a result of the reorganization. Therefore, there will be no change to the hypothetical examples shown in
the Contract Prospectus.

Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant

Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the
Registration Statement on Form N-6 for Security Life Separate Account L1 of Security Life of
Denver Insurance Company (File No. 333-168047), as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 6, 2010.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

As of November 30, 2010, there were 315,575 qualified contract owners and 186,782 non-
qualified contract owners in ING USA’s Separate Account B.

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.

ING USA 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.

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, ING America
Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies
issued by an international insurer. The policies cover ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and
any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling financial interest
of 50% or more. These policies include the principal underwriter, as well as the depositor and
any/all assets under the care, custody and control of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.
and/or its subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and
omissions/professional liability, employment practices liability and fidelity/crime.



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)      In addition to the Registrant, Directed Services LLC serves as principal underwriter for
all contracts issued by ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company through its
Separate Accounts A, B and EQ and Alger Separate Account A and ReliaStar Life
Insurance Company of New York through its Separate Account NY-B. Also, Directed
Services LLC serves as investment advisor to ING Investors Trust and ING Partners,
Inc.
 
    
   (b)      The following information is furnished with respect to the 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,
Pennsylvania 19380-1478, unless otherwise noted.
