PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT

Dear Shareholders:

ING Senior Income Fund (the "Fund") is a continuously offered, diversified and closed-end management investment company that seeks to provide investors with a high level of monthly income. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing in a professionally managed portfolio comprised primarily of senior loans.

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
AS OF AUGUST 31, 2006
 
Net Assets   $ 2,296,234,188    
Total Assets   $ 2,714,291,269    
Assets Invested in Senior Loans   $ 2,598,404,611    
Senior Loans Represented     575    
Average Amount Outstanding per Loan   $ 4,518,965    
Industries Represented     38    
Average Loan Amount per Industry   $ 68,379,069

Weighted Average Days to Interest Rate Reset     41    
Average Loan Final Maturity     63 months    
Total Leverage as a Percentage of Total Assets     12.75 %  

 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

During the six months ended August 31, 2006, the Fund's Class A and Q shares each distributed total dividends from income of $0.50, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 6.74%(1) and 6.77%(1), respectively. During the same period, the Fund's Class B and Class C shares each distributed total dividends from income of $0.46, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 6.25%(1) for Class B shares and 6.25%(1) for Class C shares.

The Fund's total return for the six months ended August 31, 2006, for each of the share classes, excluding sales charges, ranged from 2.42% on Class A, 2.10% on Class B, 2.10% on Class C and 2.37% on Class Q. The Fund's net returns were slightly less than the returns of the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index ("LLI"), which had a gross return of 2.79%.

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

Underperformance during the period can be traced directly to two mid-second-quarter events. First, a secondary market price correction disproportionately impacted the better-quality, typically lower coupon sub-set of the market, an area that the Fund has historically emphasized based on its lower credit risk profile. Second, the Fund's performance was hurt by reduced bid levels for loans of the Adelphia Communications group of affiliates, due to uncertainty surrounding the distribution of the company's escrowed sale proceeds. Since those events, investor appetite (and thus bid levels) has improved and returns for the Fund have been as expected.

Sector positioning remained relatively stable over the period, which benefited the Fund. Cable and healthcare, the Fund's largest and second largest exposures respectively as of August 31, continue

(1)  The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing dividends declared during the period and dividing the resulting annualized dividend by the Fund's average month-end net asset value (in the case of NAV) or the average month-end NYSE Composite closing price (in the case of Market). The distribution rate is based solely on the actual dividends and distributions, which are made at the discretion of management. The distribution rate may or may not include all investment income and ordinarily will not include capital gains or losses, if any.

to be two of the best performing sectors in the LLI(2) (despite Adelphia's inclusion in the cable sector). The Fund has for the most part avoided those areas of existing or developing weakness such as auto suppliers and real estate/residential building products.

Credit conditions in the broad market remain steady as evidenced by a stable trailing twelve month default rate LLI(2) to 1.36% at period-end, from 2.08% as of our last fiscal year ended February 28, 2006. The Fund's non-performing assets continue to be insignificant relative to total assets under management. The Fund did not and does not hold any of the defaults in the LLI(2) that have occurred since the beginning of the year.

USE OF LEVERAGE

The Fund seeks to prudently utilize financial leverage in order to increase the yield to shareholders. As of August 31, 2006, the Fund had $346 million in outstanding loans under a $750 million revolving credit facility.

CURRENT STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK:

Despite uncertainty surrounding upcoming Fed actions, we believe the near-term prognosis for the loan market remains favorable. While new issue spreads have tightened a bit recently (coincident with robust demand), we expect that trend to stall due to a record visible new issue pipeline anchored by several multi-billion dollar transactions. Our strategy is focused on delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns and moderate net asset value volatility. The combination of stable credit conditions, healthy demand (driven largely by collateralized loan obligation issuance) and a constant flow of new transactions coming to market should provide a positive environment for non-investment grade loan performance through the balance of 2006.

The table above illustrates the total net return of the Fund against the gross return of the LLI. The LLI Index has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

Total returns reflect that ING Investments, LLC (the Fund's Investment Adviser) may have waived, reimbursed or recouped fees and expenses otherwise payable by the Fund.

(1)  Return calculations for the period beginning April 2, 2001 through June 30, 2002, reflect no deduction of a front-end sales charge. Return calculations for the period beginning July 1, 2002 through October 10, 2004, reflect deduction of the maximum Class A sales charge of 4.75%. Return calculations with a starting date after October 11, 2004 are based on a 2.50% sales charge. There is no front-end sales charge if you purchase Class A common shares in an amount of $1 million or more. However, the shares will be subject to a 1.00% Early Withdrawal Charge ("EWC") if they are repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase.

(2)  Class B maximum EWC is 3% in the first year, declining to 1% in the fifth year and eliminated thereafter.

(3)  Class C maximum EWC is 1% for the first year.

YIELDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS RATES

    30-Day SEC Yields(1)    Average Annualized Distribution Rates(2)   
    Class A   Class B   Class C   Class Q   Class A   Class B   Class C   Class Q  
August 31, 2006     6.39 %     6.05 %     6.05 %     6.57 %     6.74 %     6.25 %     6.25 %     6.77 %

(1)  Yield is calculated by dividing the Fund's net investment income per share for the most recent thirty days by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. Yield calculations are compounded for six months and annualized for a twelve-month period to derive the Fund's yield consistent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") standardized yield formula.

(2)  Distribution Rates are calculated by annualizing dividends declared during the period (i.e., by dividing the monthly dividend amount by the number of days in the month and multiplying by the number of days in the fiscal year) and then dividing the resulting annualized dividend by the month-ending net asset value ("NAV").

Risk is inherent in all investing. The following are the principal risks associated with investing in the Fund. This is not, and is not intended to be, a description of all risks of investing in the Fund. A more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund is contained in the Fund's current prospectus.

Credit Risk: The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in below investment grade senior loans and other below investment grade assets. Below investment grade loans involve a greater risk that borrowers may not make timely payment of the interest and principal due on their loans. They also involve a greater risk that the value of such loans could decline significantly. If borrowers do not make timely payments of the interest due on their loans, the yield on the Fund's common shares will decrease. If borrowers do not make timely payment of the principal due on their loans, or if the value of such loans decreases, the value of the Fund's NAV will decrease.

Interest Rate Risk: Changes in short-term market interest rates will directly affect the yield on the Fund's common shares. If short-term market interest rates fall, the yield on the Fund will also fall. To the extent that the interest rate spreads on loans in the Fund experience a general decline, the yield on the Fund will fall and the value of the Fund's assets may decrease, which will cause the Fund's value to decrease. Conversely, when short-term market interest rates rise, because of the lag between changes in such short-term rates and the resetting of the floating rates on assets in the Fund's portfolio, the impact of rising rates will be delayed to the extent of such lag.

Leverage Risk: The Fund's use of leverage through borrowings or the issuance of preferred shares can adversely affect the yield on the Fund's Common Shares. To the extent that the Fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the Fund's Common Shares will decrease. In addition, in the event of a general market decline in the value of assets such as those in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage.

No Daily Redemptions: The Fund does not redeem its shares on a daily basis and there is no market for its shares. Shareholders can only redeem their shares once a month, and if redemption requests from all shareholders exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets in a particular month, the Fund may reduce such requests pro rata and redeem only an amount equal to 5% of its total assets.

ING Senior Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

ING Senior Income Fund (the "Fund"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"), as a continuously-offered, diversified, closed-end, management investment company. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets plus the amount of any borrowings, in U.S. dollar denominated, floating rate secured senior loans, which generally are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. These loans bear interest (unless otherwise noted) at rates that float periodically at a margin above the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other short-term rates. During the period December 15, 2000 through March 30, 2001, the Fund issued 19,933,953 Class Q common shares to an affiliate of the Fund's investment adviser, ING Investments, LLC (the "Investment Adviser") in exchange for $200,000,000. Effective April 2, 2001, the Fund commenced the offering of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Q common shares to the public.

The Fund currently has four classes of common shares: A, B, C and Q. Class A common shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 2.50%. Class A common shares purchased in the amount of $1,000,000 or more are not subject to a sales charge but are subject to an Early Withdrawal Charge ("EWC") of 1% within one year of purchase. Class A common shares are issued upon conversion of Class B common shares eight years after purchase or through an exchange of Class A common shares of certain ING Funds. Class B common shares are subject to an EWC of up to 3% over the five-year period after purchase and Class C common shares are subject to an EWC of 1% during the first year after purchase.

To maintain a measure of liquidity, the Fund offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding common shares on a monthly basis. This is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund currently anticipates offerings to repurchase 5% of its outstanding common shares each month. The Fund may not repurchase more than 25% in any calendar quarter. Other than these monthly repurchases, no market for the Fund's common shares is expected to exist. The separate classes of shares differ principally in their distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in the per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees.

Class B common shares of the Fund are closed to new investment, provided that (1) Class B common shares of the Fund may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by the Fund; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B common shares of the Fund may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING mutual funds complex for the Fund's Class B common shares.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A.  Senior Loan and Other Security Valuation. Senior loans held by the Fund are normally valued at the mean of the means of one or more bid and asked quotations obtained from a pricing service or other sources determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees ("Board") to be independent and believed to be reliable. Loans for which reliable market value quotations are not readily available may be valued with reference to another loan or a group of loans for which quotations are more readily available and whose characteristics are comparable to the loan being valued. Under this approach, the comparable loan or loans serve as a proxy for changes in value of the loan being valued. The Fund has engaged an independent pricing service to provide quotations from dealers in loans and to calculate values under this proxy procedure.

ING Senior Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2006 (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

It is expected that most of the loans held by the Fund will be valued with reference to quotations from the independent pricing service or with reference to the proxy procedure described above. As of August 31, 2006, 98.97% of total investments were valued based on these procedures.

Prices from a pricing service may not be available for all loans and the Investment Adviser or ING Investment Management Co. ("ING IM" or "Sub-Adviser") may believe that the price for a loan derived from market quotations or the proxy procedure described above is not reliable or accurate. Among other reasons, this may be the result of information about a particular loan or borrower known to the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser that it believes may not be known to the pricing service or reflected in a price quote. In this event, the loan is valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund's Board and in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Under these procedures, fair value is determined by the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Board through its Valuation, Proxy and Brokerage Committee.

In fair valuing a loan, consideration is given to several factors, which may include, among others, the following: (i) the characteristics of and fundamental analytical data relating to the loan, including the cost, size, current interest rate, period until the next interest rate reset, maturity and base lending rate of the loan, the terms and conditions of the loan and any related agreements, and the position of the loan in the borrower's debt structure; (ii) the nature, adequacy and value of the collateral, including the Fund's rights, remedies and interests with respect to the collateral; (iii) the creditworthiness of the borrower and the cash flow coverage of outstanding principal and interest, based on an evaluation of its financial condition, financial statements and information about the borrower's business, cash flows, capital structure and future prospects; (iv) information relating to the market for the loan, including price quotations for, and trading in, the loan and interests in similar loans and the market environment and investor attitudes towards the loan and interests in similar loans; (v) the reputation and financial condition of the agent for the loan and any intermediate participants in the loan; (vi) the borrower's management; and (vii) the general economic and market conditions affecting the fair value of the loan. Securities other than senior loans for which reliable market value quotations are not readily available and all other assets will be valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by, and under procedures established by, the Board. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from the date of valuation are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. To the extent the Fund invests in other registered companies, the Fund's NAV is calculated based on the current NAV of the registered investment company in which the Fund invests. The prospectuses for those investment companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

B.  Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund declares and goes ex-dividend daily and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are declared and paid, at least, annually. The Fund may make additional distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The character and amounts of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.

C.  Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Revolver and delayed draw loans are booked on a settlement date basis. Security transactions and senior loans are accounted for on trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis at the then-current loan rate. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Cash collections on non-accrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the recorded investment of the loan. Loans are generally returned to accrual status only after all past due amounts have been received and the borrower has demonstrated sustained performance. Premium amortization and discount accretion are

16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2006 (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

determined by the effective yield method over the shorter of four years or the actual term of the loan. Arrangement fees received on revolving credit facilities, which represent non-refundable fees or purchase discounts associated with the acquisition of loans, are deferred and recognized using the effective yield method over the shorter of four years or the actual term of the loan. No such fees are recognized on loans which have been placed on non-accrual status. Arrangement fees associated with all other loans, except revolving credit facilities, are treated as discounts and are accreted as described above. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

D.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund is maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)  Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.

(2)  Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.

E.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a currency forward contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open

forward foreign currency contracts are presented following the respective Portfolio of Investments.

F.  Federal Income Taxes. It is the Fund's policy to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expire.

G.  Use of Estimates. Management of the Fund has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS

For the six months ended August 31, 2006, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from principal repayment and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, totaled $868,310,977 and $839,972,754, respectively. At August 31, 2006, the Fund held senior loans valued at $2,598,404,611 representing 99.4% of its total investments. The market value of these assets is established as set forth in Note 2.

The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower acquired through an assignment of another lender's interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors collateral. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters FDIC receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

Warrants and shares of common stock held in the portfolio were acquired in conjunction with loans held by the Fund. Certain of these shares and warrants are restricted and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act, or without an exemption under the 1933 Act. In some cases, these restrictions expire after a designated period of time after the issuance of the shares or warrants.

Dates of acquisition and cost or assigned basis of restricted securities are as follows:

NOTE 13 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

    Six Months Ended August 31, 2006   Year Ended February 28, 2006  
  Ordinary Income   Ordinary Income   Long-Term

NOTE 14 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157"), Fair Value Measurements. The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ( an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of August 31, 2006, the Fund is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting Fin 48 and SFAS No. 157.

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S US MUTUAL FUNDS

In 2004, ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the "Boards") of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates had received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including ING Investments (collectively, "ING"), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING's internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the

22



ING Senior Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2006 (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING's variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.

ING Investments has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING's acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.

Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Boards that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.

In September 2005, ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD"), the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.

In addition to the arrangements discussed above, in 2004 ING Investments reported to the Boards that, at that time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:

•  Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.

•  ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar") entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.

•  In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.

For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the SEC on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/A can be accessed through the SEC's Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a

national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.

ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING's acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported that given ING's refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.

•  ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING's internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.

•  ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees' obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.

•  The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.

•  ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.

•  ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.

Other Regulatory Matters

The New York Attorney General (the "NYAG") and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the "NH Bureau") concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.

On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of ING Investments entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the "NYAG Agreement") regarding the endorsement of its products by the

NOTE 15 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust ("NYSUT") and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NYAG's findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG's office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the "One-Page Disclosure"). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure.

In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of ING Investments entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the "NH Agreement") to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau's claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above.

Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING's businesses.

These regulatory initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which ING is engaged.

In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.

At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.
