NOTICE OF AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AN UPCOMING FUND REORGANIZATION

The following information only affects you if you currently invest in or plan to invest in the subaccount that corresponds to the VY® Templeton Global Growth Portfolio.

On November 16, 2018, the Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the VY® Templeton Global Growth Portfolio (the “Reorganization”). Subject to shareholder approval, effective after the close of business on or about August 23, 2018 (the “Reorganization Date”), the VY® Templeton Global Growth Portfolio (the “Merging Fund”) will reorganize with and into the Voya Global Equity Portfolio (the “Surviving Fund”).

If shareholders of the Merging Fund approve the Reorganization, from the close of business on August 9, 2019, through the close of business on August 23, 2019, the Merging Fund will be in a “transition period” during which time a transition manager will sell all or most of its assets and the transition manager may hold a large portion of the Merging Fund’s assets in temporary investments. During this time, the Merging Fund may not be pursuing its investment objective and strategies, and limitations on permissible investments and investment restrictions will not apply. The sales and purchases of securities during the transition period are expected to result in buy and sell transactions and such transactions may be made at a disadvantageous time.

Voluntary Transfers Before the Reorganization Date. Prior to the Reorganization Date and for 30 days thereafter, you may transfer amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Merging Fund to any other available subaccount or to any available Fixed Account. There will be no charge for any such transfer, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. See the “TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS (EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY)” section of your Contract prospectus for information about making subaccount transfers, including applicable restrictions and limits on transfers.


On the Reorganization Date. Your investment in the subaccount that invests in Class S of Merging Fund will automatically be reallocated to and become an investment in the subaccount that invests in Class S of the Surviving Fund with an equal total net asset value.  The subaccount that invests in Class S of the Surviving Fund is otherwise closed to new investors and to new investments through your Contact.  You will not incur any tax liability because of this automatic reallocation, and your Contract Value immediately before the reallocation will equal your Contract Value immediately after the reallocation.

Automatic Fund Reallocation After the Reorganization Date. After the Reorganization Date, the Merging Fund will no longer be available through your Contract. Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, after the Reorganization Date all allocations directed to the subaccount that invests in the Merging Fund will be automatically allocated to the subaccount that invests in Class T of the Surviving Fund.  Please note that gross fund expenses of  Class T of the Surviving Fund are greater than the gross fund expenses of either Class S of the Surviving Fund, which is closed to new investors and new allocations through your Contract, or Class S of the Merging Fund in which you may have been invested.

Review your Allocation Elections.  In light of this fund reorganization, you should consider whether an investment in the Surviving Fund is appropriate for you, given your personal investment objectives and risk characteristics.  After the Reorganization Date, you may transfer amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Surviving Fund to any other available subaccount or to any available Fixed Account. For 30 days after the Reorganization Date there will be no charge for any such transfer, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. See the “TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS (EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY)” section of your Contract prospectus for information about making fund allocation changes.

Allocation Instructions. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271, (800) 366-0066.

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.
