Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The material agreements described below to which ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance
Company (the “Company”) is a party were executed on March 31, 2009 and will be filed as
exhibits to the Form 10-Q of the Company for the three month period ending March 31, 2009.

On January 26, 2009, ING Groep N.V. (“ING”) announced it reached an agreement, for itself and
on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with The State of the Netherlands (the
“Dutch State”) on an Illiquid Assets Back-up Facility covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A Residential
mortgage backed securities (Alt-A RMBS) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”).

The ING-Dutch State Transaction closed on March 31, 2009. Under the terms of the ING-Dutch
State Transaction, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State has been realized on 80% of ING’s
Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas with
a par value of $38.7 billion portfolio, including par value of $1.6 billion of the Alt-A RMBS
portfolio owned by the Company. As a result of the risk transfer, the Dutch State will participate
in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State took
place on March 31, 2009 at a discount of 10% of par value of 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS as of
January 26, 2009. Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction,
including the Company remains the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and
remains exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio.

In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Alt-A
RMBS owned by the Company, the Company entered into a participation agreement dated as of
March 31, 2009 by and among itself and its affiliates, ING and ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING
Support Holding”) (the “Participation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company conveyed to
ING Support Holding an undivided 80% participation interest in its Alt-a RMBS portfolio and
agreed to pay a periodic transaction fee. As consideration for the participation interest conveyed
under the Participation Agreement, ING Support Holding assigned to the Company, pursuant to
the Deed of Assignment of Receivables among ING Support Holding, the Company, the Dutch
State and Stichting Derdengelden ING Support Holding as the Collection Foundation, the right of
ING Support Holding to receive payments from the Dutch State under that certain Illiquid Assets
Back-Up Facility Agreement dated March 31, 2009 between ING, ING Support Holding and the
Dutch State related to the Company’s Alt-A RMBS portfolio (the “Company Facility
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Company Facility Agreement, the Dutch State is obligated to pay
certain periodic fees and make certain periodic guaranteed value payments with respect to the
Company’s Alt-A RMBS portfolio, and ING Support Holding is obligated to pay a periodic
guarantee fee and make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions it receives
under the Participation Agreement with respect to the 80% participation interest in the
Company’s Alt-A RMBS portfolio.

ING Support Holding is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING, a global financial services
holding company based in The Netherlands. The Company is an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of ING. On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1
securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion.
