IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

Voya Insurance and Annuity Company (“VIAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is 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. On June 1, 2018 we became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital Company LLC, an insurance holding company organized under Delaware law (“VA Capital”).  Our direct parent company is Venerable Holdings, Inc. (“Venerable”).  Before June 1, 2018, we were an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”), which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc.  The June 1, 2018, sale of the Company by Voya to VA Capital did not change the terms, features and benefits of your Contract.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Company intends to change its name to Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company on or about September 1, 2019.  Consequently, all references to “Voya” as it relates to the Contract’s name and features and/or benefits, including any rider benefits in your most recent prospectus and any subsequent supplements are hereby deleted.  References to “Voya” in relation to former company affiliates and any mutual fund and/or a mutual fund’s investment adviser or subadviser will remain unchanged.

Although we are a subsidiary of VA Capital and Venerable, neither VA Capital nor Venerable are responsible for the obligations under the Contract. The obligations under the Contract are solely our responsibility.

We are authorized to sell insurance and annuities in all states, except New York, and the District of Columbia. We are engaged in the business of administering insurance and annuities, and we no longer sell or issue any new insurance or annuities. Our principal office is located at 699 Walnut Street, Suite 1350, Des Moines, Iowa 50309-3942.
