NOTICE OF REORGANIZATIONS

Effective after the close of business on or about July 17, 2009, the following Disappearing Portfolios will reorganize into and become part of the following Surviving Portfolios:

Disappearing Portfolios	Surviving Portfolios
ING Oppenheimer Main Street Portfolio®	ING RussellTM Large Cap Index Portfolio
Information Regarding Reorganizations:

These reorganizations will be administered pursuant to agreements, which either have been approved, or are subject to approval, by the boards of trustees of the Disappearing Portfolios. The reorganization agreements will also be subject to shareholder approval. If shareholder approval is obtained, each reorganization is expected to take place on or about the relevant date noted above, resulting in a shareholder of a given Disappearing Portfolio becoming a shareholder of the corresponding Surviving Portfolio. Each shareholder will thereafter hold shares of the Surviving Portfolio having equal aggregate value as shares of the Disappearing Portfolio, and the Disappearing Portfolios will no longer be available under the contract.

Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future allocations directed to a given Disappearing Portfolio will be automatically allocated to the corresponding Surviving Portfolio. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting our Customer Contact Center at 1-800-366-0066.

As of the relevant effective date noted above, any references in the prospectus to the Disappearing Portfolios as being available under the contract are deleted.
