NOTICE OF AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED FUND 
SUBSTITUTIONS

 

The following information only affects you if you currently invest in the subaccount that corresponds to the 
Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio and/or to the Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund. 
 
ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (the "Company") and its Separate Account B (the "Separate 
Account") have filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to permit the following 
"Replaced Funds" to be replaced with the following "Substitute Funds": 

 

Replaced Fund  Substitute Fund 
Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio (Service Class 2) Voya RussellTM Large Cap Value Index Portfolio
(Class S) 
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund (Class I)  Voya RussellTM Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio
(Class S) 

 

  The Replaced Funds are currently closed to new investments and transfers. The Substitute Funds are available for
new investments or transfers.

The principal purposes of the proposed substitutions are as follows: 
·     Implement Business Plan. The substitutions are another step in the Company’s overall business plan to help 
make the Contracts more attractive to customers and more efficient to administer and oversee. This plan 
involves providing funds available through the Contracts that meet certain performance, risk and pricing 
guidelines. 
·     Influence. The substitutions will replace unaffiliated funds with funds that are advised and sub-advised by 
affiliates of the Company. The Substitute Funds will only be available through variable insurance products 
offered by the Company or their affiliated insurance companies. Consequently, the Board of the Substitute 
Funds has greater sensitivity to the needs of Contract Owners. The Company believes that the substitutions will 
enable them to exercise more influence over the management and administration of the funds offered through 
their Contracts, thereby reducing costs and customer confusion. 
·     Reduction of Costs. Substitute Funds, which are managed by affiliated investment advisers, will allow the 
Company to reduce costs by consolidating administration of the Substitute Funds with its other funds. 
·     Due Diligence. The substitutions will allow the Company to respond to expense, performance and management 
matters that they have identified in their due diligence review of the funds available through the Contracts. 
 
The following lists important information regarding the upcoming fund substitutions: 
·     Prior to the fund substitutions you will receive another prospectus supplement which will indicate the 
substitution effective date, provide you with further details about the Substitute Funds and reiterate your rights 
related to the substitutions. You will also receive summary prospectuses for the Substitute Funds.

·    Prior to the substitution effective date and for thirty days thereafter you may transfer amounts allocated to the 
     subaccounts that invest in the Replaced Funds to any other available subaccount or any available fixed account 
     free of charge, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restrictions or 
 limits on transfers (other than restrictions related to frequent or disruptive transfers). 
·    On the substitution effective date your investment in a subaccount that invests in a Replaced Fund will 
     automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Substitute Fund with an 
     equal total net asset value. Your Contract value immediately before the substitutions will equal your Contract 
    value immediately after the substitutions. 
·    Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, after the substitution effective date all allocations 
    directed to a subaccount that invested in a Replaced Fund will be automatically allocated to the subaccount that 
    invests in the corresponding Substitute Fund. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by 
    contacting Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, IA 50306-9271 or call (800) 366-0066. 
·  The overall expenses of each Substitute Fund are less than the overall expenses of the corresponding Replaced 
    Fund. The fees and expenses of the Substitute Funds will be provided to you prior to the substitution effective 
   date. 
· The investment objective and investment policies of each Substitute Fund are similar to the investment objective 
   and policies of the corresponding Replaced Fund. The investment objective of the Substitute Funds along with 
   information about each Substitute Fund's investment adviser/subadviser will be provided to you prior to the 
   substitution effective date. 
·  After the substitution effective date, the Replaced Fund will no longer be available through the Contract and 
   there will be no further disclosure regarding it in any future Contract prospectus or supplements to the Contract 
   prospectus. 
·  You will not incur any fees or charges or any tax liability because of the substitutions.
