Supplement Dated December 23, 2016

 

This supplement only affects you if you purchased the Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider with Form Numbers IU-RA-1047 (01/05) and IU-RA-1047 (08/06) in a State that has approved the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer described herein.

 

This supplement updates the prospectus for your variable annuity contract and describes a limited time offer we are making to owners of the Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider with Form Numbers IU-RA-1047 (01/05) and IU-RA-1047 (08/06). Please read this supplement carefully and keep it with your prospectus for future reference. If you have any questions, please contact your financial representative or Customer Service at 1-877-235-8564. Capitalized terms not defined in this supplement shall have the meaning given to them in your prospectus.

 

 

ENHANCED SURRENDER VALUE OFFER

 

Overview. For a limited time beginning on or about January 27, 2017, Voya Insurance and Annuity Company (“the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is endorsing certain versions of the Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider with Form Numbers IU-RA-1047 (01/05) and IU-RA-1047 (08/06) (the “MGIB Rider”) to make a limited-time offer to enhance your Contract’s cash surrender value (“Enhanced Cash Surrender Value”) in exchange for surrendering your entire Contract (the “Offer”). If you accept the Offer, your entire Contract, which includes the MGIB Rider and any other endorsements and riders, will terminate and have no further value, force or effect. Any existing surrender charges will be waived if you accept the Offer. Additional details regarding the Offer are provided below.

 

 

NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART

 

Acceptance of the Offer is optional. You are not required to accept the Offer or take any action under your Contract. If you do not accept the Offer, your entire Contract, which includes the MGIB Rider and any other endorsements and riders, will continue unchanged.

The Enhanced Surrender Value Offer will not be appropriate for all contract owners and it may not be in your best interest to accept it. You should carefully review this supplement and make sure you understand the terms of the Offer. This Offer asks you to give up valuable benefits in return for the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value. Please consider carefully whether you no longer need or want the Contract, the guarantees provided by the MGIB Rider and any other optional living benefit riders or death benefits. Your financial professional can help you understand whether accepting the Offer would be appropriate for you given your personal circumstances and financial goals. Additionally, accepting the Offer by surrendering your Contract may result in tax liability. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with surrendering your Contract. A surrender made before you reach 59½ may result in a 10% tax penalty. You will be responsible for any taxes, including any tax penalty for a surrender before age 59 ½, upon Acceptance of the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value Offer, and taxes generally will be withheld from the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value when it is paid unless directed otherwise by you.

 

You should accept the Offer only when you determine, after knowing all the facts, that it is better for you to accept the Offer rather than continue to own your Contract, including the MGIB Rider and any other accompanying endorsements and riders.

 

How long does the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer last? The Offer is being made for a period of 60 days (the “Offer Window”), which ends on or about March 28, 2017 (the “Offer Ending Date”). We must receive your acceptance of this Offer (your “Acceptance”) no later than the Offer Ending Date. If we do not receive and accept your Acceptance before the Offer Ending Date, we will consider you to have rejected this Offer. If you accept the Offer, we will surrender your entire Contract for its Enhanced Cash Surrender Value. You may not accept the Offer for only a portion of your Contract’s surrender value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may modify or terminate the Offer at any time prior to your Acceptance of the Offer.

 

What will I receive if I accept the Offer?  If you choose to accept the Offer, we will pay you your Enhanced Cash Surrender Value in exchange for the surrender of your Contract. We will calculate the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value at the end of the business day on which we receive in “good order” your Acceptance, or such later date within the Offer Window designated by you (the “Acceptance Date”), provided your Acceptance is postmarked on a day during the Offer Window. To be in “good order” your Acceptance must be made on forms satisfactory to us that have been properly signed and accurately completed with such clarity that we are not required to exercise any judgment or discretion in carrying it out. If we receive your Acceptance in good order after the close of trading of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on any business day, we will calculate the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value on the next business day. The Enhanced Cash Surrender Value will normally be paid within seven days after our receipt of Acceptance of the Offer in good order.

 

The Enhanced Cash Surrender Value will be calculated as follows:

 

(1)     The difference when the contract value is subtracted from the MGIB Benefit Base, but in no event less than zero; multiplied by

(2)     55% (the “Enhanced Surrender Percentage”); plus

(3)     The contract value.

 

Where (1) and (3) are each adjusted for any outstanding loan balance, where applicable, and the contract value is adjusted for any applicable charges and fees, except for surrender charges, which are waived.

 

To illustrate how we compute the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value, we have included some hypothetical examples in an Appendix to this supplement.

 

Will I be subject to a Market Value Adjustment if I accept the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer?  Yes, if you are invested in a Fixed Interest Allocation and the Acceptance Date does not occur on or within 30 days of the end of the guaranteed interest period, you will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment if you accept the Offer. The Market Value Adjustment may be positive, negative or result in no change. In general, if interest rates have risen during the guaranteed interest period the Market Value Adjustment may be negative and reduce your contract value. If interest rates have fallen during the guarantee period, you will likely receive a positive Market Value Adjustment that increases your contract value. For Additional information, please see the “Market Value Adjustment” section in the Fixed Account II appendix (the Fixed Account I appendix for Voya GoldenSelect Access®) of your prospectus.

Will I incur a surrender charge if I accept the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer? No, we will waive any applicable surrender charge(s) if you accept the Offer within the Offer Window.

 

Why is the Company making this Enhanced Surrender Value Offer?

·      Contract Owner Benefits – The Company believes that the Offer may be beneficial to our contract owners who no longer need or want the guarantees provided by the MGIB Rider, any other optional living benefit riders or the death benefit. As noted above, accepting the Offer may not be appropriate for all contract owners and you should consult with your financial professional to determine if accepting the Offer is right for your personal and financial situation. You should also consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with surrendering your Contract by accepting the Offer.

·      Company Benefits - The Company is taking steps, such as making the Offer, to accelerate the run-off of a block of variable annuity contracts that are no longer offered for sale and through which the MGIB Rider is available, which is expected to reduce capital requirements and associated risks for this business segment. Providing guarantees under the MGIB Rider may be costly to the Company, particularly during periods of extended low interest rates, declining equity markets, and high volatility in either equity markets or interest rates.

 

How do I know if I am eligible to participate in the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer? The Offer is available to you if:

·      You are the owner (or joint owner) of an in-force Contract with an attached in-force MGIB Rider with Form Numbers IU-RA-1047 (01/05) and IU-RA-1047 (08/06);

·      Death Benefits have not been paid (spouses who have elected spousal continuation under the Contract may be eligible to participate in the Offer); and

·      You have not fully annuitized your Contract or fully annuitized under the MGIB Rider.

 

What are some factors I should consider in deciding whether to accept the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer? We urge you to carefully review this prospectus supplement and discuss the Offer with your financial, legal and/or tax adviser prior to making the decision to accept this Offer. Once you have surrendered your Contract in exchange for its Enhanced Cash Surrender Value, it cannot be undone. In deciding whether to accept the Offer, you should consider all factors relevant to your personal situation. Some of the factors you may wish to consider are:

·      Whether your situation has changed since the time you purchased the Contract and the MGIB Rider. For example, changes in health may make the long-term payments available under the MGIB Rider less important to you. Likewise, a personal financial emergency could make a payment of the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value more desirable than the long-term payments under the MGIB Rider;

·      The Enhanced Cash Surrender Value you receive may be less than the amount you would have received over your lifetime had you kept your Contract and the MGIB Rider in force;

·      Whether it is important for you to leave a death benefit to your beneficiaries;

·      Whether your need for an Enhanced Cash Surrender Value is more important to you than the tax deferral provided during the accumulation phase of the Contract;

·      Whether your need for an Enhanced Cash Surrender Value, after incurring any applicable Market Value Adjustment, outweighs the value of waiting to annuitize at a time when such charges and adjustments would not apply;

·      The tax impact of accepting the Offer. A surrender made before you reach 59½ may also result in a 10% tax penalty;

·      Whether accepting the Offer would have any additional financial impact to you; and

·      Whether you intend to transfer the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value to a different financial product (like another variable annuity). Transfer to other financial products may trigger payment of a sales charge, be subject to a new surrender charge, or have higher fees or less favorable benefits than the Contract and the MGIB Rider.

 

We cannot provide you with advice as to how to consider these factors and how they may affect you personally, nor can we provide advice regarding any potential future increase or decrease of either your contract value or the value of any living benefit rider or death benefit. Please discuss with your financial professional whether the Offer is suitable for you based on your particular circumstances. When talking to your financial professional, be aware that they may receive a commission for selling you a new financial product and you should ask them to disclose any conflicts of interest that they might have when advising you about whether the Offer is right for you.

How will I be notified about the Offer Window? You will receive an offer letter prior to the beginning of the Offer Window that specifies the period during which you can choose to accept the Offer. The letter will also provide your estimated Enhanced Cash Surrender Value. Because your estimated Enhanced Cash Surrender Value may fluctuate until the Acceptance Date, you will not know the actual Enhanced Cash Surrender Value until we calculate it on the Acceptance Date. However, any withdrawals taken or transfers between Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds prior to the Acceptance Date may affect your contract value and/or MGIB Benefit Base. See the “Contract Value” section of the prospectus for further information about the impact of withdrawals and transfers on the contract value.

 

What happens if I don’t take any action? If you take no action, the Offer will expire on the Offer Ending Date and your Contact and all attached in-force riders and endorsements will continue unchanged.

 

Who should I contact if I wish to accept the Enhanced Surrender Value Offer? To accept the Offer, you may complete the form included with your offer letter or contact Customer Service at (877) 235-8564 at any time during the Offer Window.

 

What else do I need to know? We reserve the right to terminate or modify the Offer at any time prior to our receipt of your Acceptance. In addition, we reserve the right to offer different and more or less favorable terms to you or other contract owners in the future if we choose to make new or different offers available. By accepting the Offer in exchange for payment of the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value you will not be able to participate in such future offers.

 

You should discuss this Offer with your financial representative to determine whether accepting the Offer is suitable for you given your unique financial position and future financial, retirement and insurance needs. You should not terminate your Contract under the Offer unless you determine, after consulting with your financial representative, that doing so is more beneficial to you than continuing to maintain your Contract and/or annuitizing under the Contract or under the MGIB Rider at a later date. You should discuss the tax impact of accepting the Offer with your financial, legal and/or tax adviser, particularly if your Contract is an IRA and you are or may be subject to required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

You may want to discuss this Offer with the beneficiaries named in your Contract to determine whether you need the death benefit protection provided under the Contract.

APPENDIX

 

Hypothetical Examples of How the Enhanced Cash Surrender Value is Calculated*.

 

The Enhanced Cash Surrender Value will be calculated as follows:

 

(1)     The difference when the contract value is subtracted from the MGIB Benefit Base, but in no event less than zero; multiplied by

(2)     55% (the “Enhanced Surrender Percentage”); plus

(3)     The contract value.

 

Where (1) and (3) are each adjusted for any outstanding loan balance, where applicable, and the contract value is adjusted for any applicable charges and fees.

 

Example A –

Assumptions:

  • Adjusted contract value = $90,000
  • Adjusted MGIB Benefit Base = $100,000
  • Enhanced Surrender Percentage = 55%

 

(1)     $100,000 - $90,000 = $10,000

(2)     $10,000 X 55% = $5,500

(3)     $5,500 + $90,000 = $95,500

 

Enhanced Cash Surrender Value equals $95,500, which is more than the adjusted contract value.

 

Example B –

Assumptions:

  • Adjusted contract value = $100,000
  • Adjusted MGIB Benefit Base = $90,000
  • Enhanced Surrender Percentage = 55%

 

(1)     $90,000 - $100,000 =  $0

(2)     $0 X 55% = $0

(3)     $0 + $100,000 = $100,000

 

Enhanced Cash Surrender Value equals $100,000, which is equal to the adjusted contract value because the difference when the contract value is subtracted from the MGIB Benefit Base cannot be less than zero.

 

Example C –

Assumptions:

  • Adjusted contract value = $100,000
  • Adjusted MGIB Benefit Base = $100,000
  • Enhanced Surrender Percentage = 55%

 

(1)     $100,000 - $100,000 = $0

(2)     $0 X 55% = $0

(3)     $0 + $100,000 = $100,000

 

Enhanced Cash Surrender Value equals $100,000, which is equal to the adjusted contract value because the adjusted contract value and the adjusted MGIB Benefit Base are the same.

 

*    These Examples do not display the added value of waiving surrender charges, if any, if the Offer is accepted. These Examples also do not reflect the impact of the MVA, if any, on the amount received if the Offer is accepted. For more information about the amount of any surrender charge that will be waived and the MVA that may apply to you upon Acceptance of the Offer, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-235-8564.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In the event that a claim of such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person and the SEC is still of the same opinion, the Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy as expressed by the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
