Important Information Regarding The Company

 

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

 

We are an Iowa stock life insurance company, which was originally organized in 1973 under the insurance laws of Minnesota.  Prior to September 1, 2014 we were known as ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company.  Prior to January 1, 2004, we were known as Golden American Life Insurance Company.  We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya®”), 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.

 

Prior to March 9, 2015, Voya was an affiliate of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. On March 9, 2015, ING completed a public secondary offering of Voya common stock (the “March 2015 Offering”) and also completed the sale of Voya common stock to Voya pursuant to the terms of a share repurchase agreement (the “March 2015 Direct Share Buyback”) (the March 2015 Offering and the March 2015 Direct Share Buyback collectively, the “March 2015 Transactions”). Upon completion of the March 2015 Transactions, ING has exited its stake in Voya common stock. As a result of the completion of the March 2015 Transactions, ING has satisfied the provisions of its agreement with the European Union regarding the divestment of its U.S. insurance and investment operations, which required ING to divest 100% of its ownership interest in Voya together with its subsidiaries, including the Company by the end of 2016.

 

We are 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 Voya Insurance and Annuity Company.

 

Our principal office is located at 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380.
