1. Important Information Regarding an Upcoming Fund Reorganization. Please note, the following information only
affects you if you currently invest in or plan to invest in the subaccount that corresponds to the ING Pioneer Mid Cap
Value Portfolio:

The Board of Trustees of ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the ING Pioneer Mid Cap Value
Portfolio (the “Merging Portfolio”) with and into the ING Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Surviving Portfolio”).
Subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization is expected to take place on or about September 6, 2013 (the
“Closing Date”), resulting in a shareholder of the Merging Portfolio becoming a shareholder of the 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 Portfolio will no longer be available under the contract.

Prior to the Closing 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 Closing Date will be placed in the Surviving Portfolio.

Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, after the Closing Date all future allocations directed to the
Merging Portfolio will be automatically allocated to the Surviving Portfolio. You may provide alternative instructions by
calling our Customer Service Center at the number above.

Information about the ING Large Cap Value Portfolio. The following chart provides summary information for the
Surviving Portfolio. More detailed information can be found in the current prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for that fund.

All references in the prospectus to the Merging Portfolio and Surviving Portfolio are changed accordingly.

2. The section titled “Same-Sex Marriages” in your prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:

Same-Sex Marriages
Before June 26, 2013, pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex marriages were
not recognized for purposes of federal law. On that date the U.S. Supreme Court held in United States v. Windsor that
Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional. While valid same-sex marriages are now recognized under federal law and the
favorable income-deferral options afforded by federal tax law to an opposite-sex spouse under Tax Code sections 72(s)
and 401(a)(9) are now available to a same-sex spouse, there are still unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact
of the Windsor decision. Consequently, if you are married to a same-sex spouse you should contact a qualified tax adviser
regarding your spouse’s rights and benefits under the contract described in this prospectus and your particular tax situation.
