1.  Important Information Regarding Upcoming Fund Reorganizations 
 
On January 12, 2012, the Board of Trustees of ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the 
following “Merging Portfolios” with and into the following “Surviving Portfolios”: 

 

Merging Portfolios  Surviving Portfolios 
ING American Funds Growth Portfolio  ING Large Cap Growth Portfolio (Class ADV) 
ING Artio Foreign Portfolio (Class S)  ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (Class S) 

 

Subject to shareholder approval, each reorganization is expected to take place on or about July 21, 2012
(the “Reorganization Date”), resulting in a shareholder of a given Merging Portfolio becoming a
shareholder of the corresponding Surviving Portfolio. Each shareholder will thereafter hold shares of the
Surviving Portfolio having equal aggregate value as shares of the Merging Portfolio, and the Merging
Portfolios will no longer be available under the contract.

Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may reallocate your contract value in the Merging Portfolio to another
investment portfolio currently available under the contract. This reallocation will neither count as a transfer
for purposes of our Excessive Trading Policy nor be subject to a transfer charge under the contract.
Contract value remaining in the Merging Portfolio on the Reorganization Date will be placed in the
Surviving Portfolio. You may provide alternative instructions by calling our Customer Service Center at
the number above.

As of the effective date noted above, any references in the prospectus to the Merging Portfolios as being
available under the contract are deleted.
