IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY 

 

  Information about the ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company found in your prospectus and/or Statement
of Additional Information is deleted and replaced with the following:

ING USA is an Iowa stock life insurance company, which was originally incorporated in Minnesota on January 2, 1973.
ING USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion Connecticut”), which in turn is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“VoyaTM”), which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc. In May
2013, the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VOYA" and Voya
completed its initial public offering of common stock.

ING USA is authorized to sell insurance and annuities in all states, except New York, and the District of Columbia.
Although we are a subsidiary of Voya, Voya is not responsible for the obligations under the Contract. The obligations
under the Contract are solely the responsibility of ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company.

Directed Services LLC, the distributor of the Contracts and the investment manager of the Voya Investors Trust, is also a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Voya. Voya also indirectly owns Voya Investments, LLC and Voya Investment
Management Co. LLC, portfolio managers of the Voya Investors Trust and the investment managers of the Voya Variable
Insurance Trust, Voya Variable Products Trust and Voya Variable Product Portfolios, respectively.

Voya is an affiliate of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and
asset management. In 2009, ING announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and insurance businesses,
including the divestiture of Voya, which together with its subsidiaries, including the Company, constitutes ING’s U.S.-
based retirement, investment management and insurance operations. As of March 25, 2014, ING’s ownership of Voya was
approximately 43%. Under an agreement with the European Commission, ING is required to divest itself of 100% of Voya
by the end of 2016.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS 
 
In connection with the rebranding of ING U.S. as Voya FinancialTM , effective May 1, 2014, the ING funds were 
renamed by generally replacing ING in each fund name with either Voya or VY. 
 
Open Investment Portfolios 
 
During the accumulation phase, you may allocate your premium payments and contract value to any of the investment 
portfolios available under this Contract. You bear the entire investment risk for amounts you allocate to any investment 
portfolio, and you may lose your principal. There is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their respective 
investment objectives. Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in the funds. 
Shares of the funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Except as noted, all funds are diversified, as 
defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AN UPCOMING FUND REORGANIZATION 
 
The Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the following “Merging Portfolio” with 
and into the following “Surviving Portfolio”:   
 
Merging Portfolio  Surviving Portfolio 
VY MFS Total Return Portfolio (Class S)  VY Invesco Equity and Income Portfolio (Class S) 

 

  Subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization is expected to take place on or about July 18, 2014 (the
“Reorganization 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 Reorganization Date, you may reallocate your contract value in the Merging Portfolio to another investment
portfolio or fixed option 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.

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

As of the Reorganization Date, all references in the prospectus to the Merging Portfolio are deleted. For more information,
or information related to asset allocation requirements, please refer to your prospectus or call Customer Service.
