INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS 

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company   
Single Premium Deferred Modified Guaranteed Annuity Contract 
 
 
ING MULTI-RATE ANNUITY (IICA)
 
 
 
  April 30, 2012  
 
The Contract. The contract described in this prospectus is a group or individual, single purchase payment, 
modified guaranteed deferred annuity contract issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC,” the 
“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Contract was issued by ING Insurance Company of 
America (“IICA”). On December 31, 2005, IICA merged with and into ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, 
and ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company assumed responsibility for all of IICA’s obligations under the 
contracts. See “Other Topics-The Company” for information about the merger of IICA with and into the Company. 
The contract is available as a non-qualified deferred annuity. Additionally, the contract is available as a rollover to a 
traditional Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) under section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended (“Tax Code”) or a rollover to a Roth IRA under Tax Code section 408A. See “Purchase” in this 
prospectus for additional information.   
 
The contract is no longer available for purchase.   
 
Why Reading this Prospectus is Important. This prospectus contains facts about the contract that you should 
know before investing. The information will help you determine if the contract is right for you. Read this 
prospectus carefully. If you do invest in the contract, retain this document for future reference. 
 
How it Works. Upon purchase, you may direct your purchase payment to different guaranteed terms ranging up to 
and including twenty years. Each guaranteed term has its own guaranteed interest rate. When the guaranteed 
term(s) end, you can reinvest in another guaranteed term, begin receiving income payments, or withdraw your full 
account value.   
 
Withdrawals. You may withdraw all or part of your accumulated funds at any time. Withdrawals prior to the 
end of a guaranteed term may be subject to a market value adjustment and certain fees. Upon a full 
withdrawal, you could, therefore, receive less than your purchase payment. See the “Market Value 
Adjustment” section and “Fees” section in this prospectus for additional information. 
 
Additional Disclosure Information. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities 
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of this 
prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. We do not intend for this prospectus to be an 
offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state that does not permit their sale. We have 
not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. The contract 
is not a deposit with, obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, nor is it insured by the FDIC.

CONTRACT OVERVIEW   
 
The following is intended as a summary. Please read each section of this prospectus for additional detail. 
 
Questions: Contacting the Company. To answer your questions, contact your sales representative or write or call

Contract Design:   
 
The contract described in this prospectus is a group or individual, single purchase payment, modified guaranteed 
deferred annuity contract issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. It is intended to be used as a 
retirement savings vehicle that allows you to invest in fixed interest options in order to help meet long-term financial 
goals.     
 
Who’s Who:   
 
The contract holder (you): The person to whom we issue an individual contract or a certificate under a group 
contract.     
 
The Company (we, us, our): ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue the contract. 
 
The contract: Both individual contracts and certificates under a group contract are referred to in this prospectus as 
the contract.   
 
Contract Phases:   
 
The Accumulation Phase   
 
·  At Investment. Upon purchase, you may direct your purchase payment to different guaranteed terms 
  ranging up to and including twenty years. Each guaranteed term has its own guaranteed interest rate. 
  Generally, your purchase payment will earn interest at the guaranteed interest rate(s) for the duration of the 
  guaranteed term(s) you select. If you withdraw or transfer amounts prior to the end of a guaranteed term, 
  those amounts may be subject to a market value adjustment and certain fees. See “Market Value 
  Adjustment (MVA)” and “Fees.”   
 
·  At Maturity. We will notify you at least 18 days before the guaranteed term ends. If you do not make any 
  election before the guaranteed term ends, we will automatically renew the contract for a guaranteed term of 
  the same or similar duration. If you do not want to automatically renew, contact us before the guaranteed 
  term ends. Prior to the end of a guaranteed term, you can elect to reinvest in a different guaranteed term, 
  begin income phase payments, or withdraw the full amount available at maturity. 
 
The Income Phase   
 
You may start receiving income phase payments at any time after the first year of the contract. Several payment 
options are available. See “Income Phase.” In general, you may receive payments for a specified period of time or 
for life; receive payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually; and select an option that provides a death 
benefit to beneficiaries.   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  1 

 



Contract Facts:   
 
Free Look/Right to Cancel: You may cancel the contract within ten days of receipt (or as otherwise provided 
by state law). See “Right to Cancel.”    
 
Death Benefit: A beneficiary may receive a benefit in the event of your death prior to the income phase. Benefits 
during the income phase depend upon the payment option selected. See “Death Benefit” and “Income Phase.” 
 
Withdrawals: During the accumulation phase, you may withdraw all or part of your account value. Amounts 
withdrawn may be subject to a market value adjustment, early withdrawal charge, maintenance fee, tax withholding 
and taxation. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA),” “Withdrawals,” “Fees” and “Federal Tax Considerations.”  
 
Systematic Distribution Options: You may elect to receive regular payments from your account, while retaining 
the account in the accumulation phase. See “Systematic Distribution Options.” 
 
Fees: Certain fees may be deducted from your account value. See “Fees.” 
 
Taxation: You will not generally pay taxes on any earnings from the annuity contract described in this prospectus 
until they are withdrawn. Tax-qualified retirement arrangements (e.g., IRAs) also defer payment of taxes on 
earnings until they are withdrawn. If you are considering funding a tax-qualified retirement arrangement with an 
annuity contract, you should know that the annuity contract does not provide any additional tax deferral of earnings 
beyond the tax deferral provided by the tax-qualified retirement arrangement. However, annuities do provide other 
features and benefits which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial 
representative.   
 
Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See 
“Taxation.”   
 
Market Value Adjustment (MVA): If you withdraw all or part of your account value before a guaranteed term is 
completed, an MVA may apply. The MVA reflects the change in the value of the investment due to changes in 
interest rates since the date of investment, and may be positive or negative. See “Market Value Adjustment 
(MVA).”
 
GUARANTEED TERMS AND GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES 
 
The contract offers fixed interest options called guaranteed terms. On the application or enrollment form, you select 
the guaranteed term(s) you want to invest in from among the guaranteed terms we offer at that time. Your purchase 
payment earns interest at the guaranteed interest rate applicable to that guaranteed term. 
 
Guaranteed Terms:   
 
Start Date. Guaranteed terms always start on the first business day of the month. 
 
Length. Guaranteed terms are offered at our discretion for various lengths of time ranging up to and including 
twenty years.   
 
Minimum Payments. Your single purchase payment must be at least $10,000.00. You may divide your single 
purchase payment among any of the various guaranteed terms we offer, but you must invest at least $1,000 in any 
single guaranteed term.   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  2 

 



Guaranteed Interest Rates: We state the guaranteed interest rates as an effective annual rate of return. In other 
words, we credit the interest you earn on your purchase payment at a rate that provides the guaranteed rate of return 
over a one-year period, assuming you make no withdrawals. Guaranteed interest rates will never be less than the 
minimum guaranteed interest rate stated in the contract. We reserve the right to offer, from time to time, guaranteed 
interest rates to prospective investors that are higher than those offered to current contract holders with respect to 
guaranteed terms of the same duration.   
 
One Guaranteed Term/Multiple Guaranteed Interest Rates. More than one guaranteed interest rate may be 
applicable during a guaranteed term greater than one year. For example, a guaranteed term of five years may apply 
one guaranteed interest rate for the first year, a different guaranteed interest rate for the next two years, and a third 
guaranteed interest rate for the last two years.   
 
Example of Interest Crediting at the Guaranteed Interest Rate. The example below shows how interest is 
credited during a guaranteed term. The hypothetical guaranteed interest rate used in this example is illustrative only 
and is not intended to predict future guaranteed interest rates to be offered under the contract. Actual guaranteed 
interest rates offered may be more or less than those shown. The example assumes no withdrawals of any amount 
during the entire seven-year guaranteed term illustrated. The example does not reflect any market value adjustment, 
federal income taxes, possible tax penalties, or deductions of any early withdrawal charge, premium taxes, or 
maintenance fees. See “Withdrawals,” “Market Value Adjustment (MVA),” “Fees” and “Taxation.” 
 
Example:   
 
Purchase payment:  $20,000.00 
Guaranteed term:  7 years 
Guaranteed interest rate:  6.00% per year 
 
The guaranteed interest rate is applied in this example by using the formula: 
 
1 + the guaranteed interest rate = 1.06   
 
Account Value at End  Interest Earned at End 
of Each Contract Year  of Each Contract Year 
Contract year 1 = $21,200.00  Interest at end of contract year 1 
($20,000.00 x 1.06)  = $1,200.00 
 
Contract year 2 - $22,472.00  Interest at end of contract year 2 
($21,200.00 x 1.06)  = $1,272.00 
 
Contract year 3 = $23,820.32  Interest at end of contract year 3 
($22,472.00 x 1.06)  = $1,348.32 
 
Contract year 4 = $25,249.54  Interest at end of contract year 4 
($23,820.32 x 1.06)  = $1,429.22 
 
Contract year 5 = $26,764.51  Interest at end of contract year 5 
($25,249.54 x 1.06)  = $1,514.97 
 
Contract year 6 = $28,370.38  Interest at end of contract year 6 
($26,764.51 x 1.06)  = $1,605.87 
 
End of guaranteed term = $30,072.61  Interest at end of contract year 7 
($28,370.38 x 1.06)  = $1,702.23 
 
Total interest credited in guaranteed term = $10,072.61 ($30,072.61 - $20,000.00)

Determination of Guaranteed Interest Rates. We will periodically determine the guaranteed interest rates we 
offer at our sole discretion. We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest we will declare as 
future guaranteed interest rates. Our determination of guaranteed interest rates is influenced by, but does not 
necessarily correspond to, interest rates available on the types of debt instruments in which we intend to invest the 
amounts attributable to the contract. See “Investments.” The Company’s management will also consider various 
factors in determining guaranteed interest rates for a given guaranteed term, including some or all of the following: 
 
·  Regulatory and tax requirements;   
·  Sales commissions;   
·  Administrative expenses;   
·  General economic trends; and   
·  Competitive factors.   
 
The Company’s management determines the guaranteed interest rates we will offer. We cannot predict nor 
guarantee future levels of guaranteed interest rates above the contractually guaranteed minimum rate nor guarantee 
what rates will be offered in the future.
 
YOUR CHOICES AT THE END OF A GUARANTEED TERM 
 
At least 18 calendar days prior to the end of a guaranteed term, we will notify you that the guaranteed term is about 
to end. At the end of a guaranteed term, you can do three things with the amount you have accumulated for that 
guaranteed term:   
 
·  Reinvest all or part of it in another guaranteed term; 
·  Withdraw all or part of it; or   
·  Use all or part of it to start your income phase payments. 
 
These choices can also be combined. For example, you can withdraw part of the amount you have accumulated and 
reinvest the balance or reinvest part and use the balance to start income phase payments. Each of these choices has 
certain consequences, which you should consider carefully. See “Withdrawals,” “Income Phase” and “Taxation.” 
 
Requesting Your Choice. Once you decide what you want to do with your account value for that guaranteed term, 
you must advise us of your decision by completing an election form. We must receive your completed election form 
at least five days prior to the end of the guaranteed term to which it applies. 
 
If we do not receive your properly completed election form in time, or you do not submit an election form, your 
account value at the end of the guaranteed term will be automatically reinvested in the following manner: 
 
·  For a guaranteed term equal to the guaranteed term just ended; 
·  If no such guaranteed term is available, for the guaranteed term with the next shortest duration; or 
·  If no such shorter guaranteed term is available, for the guaranteed term with the next longest duration. 
 
Your account value will then earn interest at the guaranteed interest rate applicable to the guaranteed term 
automatically selected for you. We will mail a confirmation statement to you the next business day after the 
completion of the just-ended guaranteed term advising you of the new guaranteed term and guaranteed interest rate.

Payment Methods. The following purchase payment methods are allowed: 
 
·  One lump-sum payment; or

We reserve the right to reject any payments without advance notice.

make any additional purchase payments under an existing contract. However, eligible persons may purchase 
additional contracts at the then prevailing guaranteed interest rates and guaranteed terms. 
 
Purchasing a Traditional IRA. To purchase the contract as a traditional IRA, your purchase payment must be a

·  A traditional individual retirement account under Tax Code section 408(a);

Purchasing a Roth IRA. A contract may be purchased as a Roth IRA under Tax Code section 408A, by 
transferring amounts previously accumulated under another Roth IRA or from a traditional individual retirement 
annuity or individual retirement account, provided certain conditions are met. See “Taxation.” 
 
Anti-Money Laundering   
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have 
adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current 
anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with 
certain procedures and standards that will allow us to verify the identity of the sponsoring organization and that 
contributions and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources. 
 
Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require customers, and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient 
evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing 
information databases maintained internally or by outside firms. 
 
We may also refuse to accept certain forms of payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, cashier's checks, 
bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer's checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of payments or 
loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example). In addition, we may require information as 
to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such 
payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result 
in us returning the payment and not issuing the Contract. 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  5 

 



Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain 
circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate 
regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to 
government regulators.   
 
Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable 
laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity. 
 
Acceptance or Rejection of Applications or Enrollment Forms. We must accept or reject your application or 
enrollment form within two business days of receipt. If the application or enrollment form is incomplete, we may 
hold it and any accompanying purchase payment for five days. Payments may be held for longer periods only with 
your consent, pending acceptance of the application or enrollment form. If the application or enrollment form is 
accepted, a contract will be issued to you. If the application or enrollment form is rejected, we will return it and any 
payments to you, without interest.   
 
What Happens to Your Purchase Payment? If we accept your application or enrollment form, your purchase 
payment becomes part of our general assets and is credited to an account established for you. We will confirm the 
crediting of your purchase payment within five business days of receipt of your properly completed application or 
enrollment form. You start earning interest on your purchase payment beginning on the effective date of the 
contract, which is the date your purchase payment is credited. During the period of time between the date your 
purchase payment is credited and the start of the guaranteed term you selected, your purchase payment earns interest 
at the guaranteed interest rate applicable to the guaranteed term you selected. 
 
 
RIGHT TO CANCEL   
 
You may cancel the contract within ten days of receiving it (or as otherwise provided by state law) by returning 
it to our Customer Service Center along with a written notice of cancellation. We will issue a refund within seven 
days of our receipt of the contract and written notice of cancellation. The refund will equal the amount of your 
purchase payment.
 
 
FEES     
 
The following fees and other deductions may impact your account value: 
 
·  Early Withdrawal Charge (see below);   
·  Maintenance Fee (see below);   
·  Premium Taxes (see below);   
·  Market Value Adjustment (see “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)”); and 
·  Taxation (see “Taxation”).   
 
Early Withdrawal Charge   
 
Withdrawals of all or a portion of your account value may be subject to a charge. In the case of a partial withdrawal 
where you request a specified dollar amount, the amount withdrawn from your account will be the amount you 
specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  6 

 



Amount. The amount is a percentage of the purchase payment you withdraw. The percentage will be determined 
by the early withdrawal charge schedule below.                 
 
Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses some of our sales and administrative expenses associated 
with the contract.                 
 
Early Withdrawal Charge Schedule:                 
 
Years since purchase payment credited:  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7 
                 
Fee as a percentage of payment withdrawn:  7%  7%  6%      6%  5%  4%  2%  0% 
 
How We Apply the Schedule. For purposes of applying the early withdrawal charge, all time periods are measured 
from the date your purchase payment is credited, even if you reinvest all or part of your account value in another 
guaranteed term. Once the early withdrawal charge declines to 0%, it no longer applies, regardless of how long you 
own the contract.                 
 
The early withdrawal charge applies only to withdrawals of your purchase payment. However, for the purposes of 
this charge, we assume you are withdrawing all or part of your purchase payment first (not your earnings). This 
assumption is not made for tax purposes. See “Taxation.”                 
 
Example. Assume the first guaranteed term you select is for five years. Further assume that at the end of this five- 
year guaranteed term, you decide to reinvest your account value for another guaranteed term of four years. Assume 
you then make a withdrawal (but not a special withdrawal, as described below) during the second year of the new 
guaranteed term. Because six years have passed since your purchase payment was credited, you would pay a 2% 
early withdrawal charge, even though you could have withdrawn all or part of your account value at the end of the 
first five-year guaranteed term without paying an early withdrawal charge. See “Waiver of Charge,” below.   
However, if you make a withdrawal during the third year of the new guaranteed term, or anytime thereafter, you 
would pay no early withdrawal charge, because seven years would have passed since your purchase payment was 
credited.                   
 
Special Withdrawals. After 12 months from the contract effective date, you may make one withdrawal equal to 
10% or less of your account value during any calendar year, valued at the time we receive your withdrawal request 
in writing, and we will not deduct any early withdrawal charge. This special withdrawal is subject to the following 
restrictions:                 
 
·  It applies only to the first withdrawal each calendar year;               
 
·  All subsequent withdrawals that calendar year are subject to an early withdrawal charge, even if you did 
  not withdraw the full 10% with your first withdrawal; and             
 
·  If your first withdrawal of the calendar year is in excess of 10% of your account value, the excess amount is 
  subject to an early withdrawal charge.                 
 
Waiver of Charge. The early withdrawal charge is waived for amounts that are:           
 
·  Withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term, provided that at least five days prior to the end of that   
  guaranteed term we receive your withdrawal request in writing. (If you reinvest those amounts in another 
  guaranteed term, future withdrawals will be subject to an early withdrawal charge as described above); or 
 
·  $2,500 or less, provided that no withdrawal has been made from your account during the prior 12 months; 
  or                 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  7               

 



·  Withdrawn due to your election of a systematic distribution option (see “Systematic Distribution Options”); 
  or   
 
·  Withdrawn due to an involuntary termination. This may occur if your account value is less than $2,500. 
  See “Other Topics—Involuntary Terminations.” 
 
Nursing Home Waiver. If approved in your state, you may withdraw all or a portion of your account value without 
an early withdrawal charge if all of the following conditions are met: 
 
·  More than one account year has elapsed since the date your purchase payment was credited; 
 
·  The annuitant designated under the contract has spent at least 45 consecutive days in a licensed nursing 
  facility (in New Hampshire, the facility may be non-licensed); and 
 
·  The withdrawal is requested within three years of the designated annuitant’s admission to a licensed 
  nursing facility (in Oregon there is no three year limitation and in New Hampshire, the facility may be non- 
  licensed).   
 
We will not waive the early withdrawal charge if the annuitant was in a licensed nursing care facility at the time you 
purchased the contract. The nursing home waiver may not be available in all states. 
 
Market Value Adjustment and Taxation. Except for withdrawals at the end of a guaranteed term as noted above, 
and withdrawals under a systematic distribution option, a market value adjustment is applicable to any amounts you 
withdraw. Regardless of when or how withdrawals are taken, you may also be required to pay taxes and tax 
penalties. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)” and “Taxation.” 
 
Annual Maintenance Fee   
 
Currently we do not charge a maintenance fee. However, prior to the time you enter the income phase, an annual 
maintenance fee may be deducted from your account value on each anniversary of the contract’s effective date and 
if you make a full withdrawal from the contract. The terms and conditions under which the maintenance fee may be 
deducted are stated in the contract. A maintenance fee would be used to reimburse us for our administrative 
expenses relating to establishing and maintaining the contract. 
 
Premium Taxes   
 
Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently 
range from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction. 
 
When/How. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your account value or from your 
payment to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. For example, we may 
deduct a charge for premium taxes at the time of a complete withdrawal or we may reflect the cost of premium taxes 
in our income phase payment rates when you commence income phase payments. If, at your death, your beneficiary 
elects to receive a lump-sum distribution, a charge may be deducted for any premium taxes paid on your behalf for 
which we have not been reimbursed. If we deduct premium taxes from your purchase payment, the amount invested 
in a guaranteed term will be equal to the amount of your purchase payment reduced by any applicable premium tax.

WITHDRAWALS   
 
You may withdraw all or part of your account value at any time during the accumulation phase. Amounts are 
withdrawn on a pro-rata basis from each of the guaranteed terms under the contract. You may request that we 
inform you in advance of the amount payable upon a withdrawal. 
 
Steps for Making a Withdrawal.   
 
·  Select the withdrawal amount.   
 
  (1)  Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required withholding tax, your account value, plus 
    or minus any applicable market value adjustment, and minus any applicable early withdrawal charge 
    and annual maintenance fee.   
 
  (2)  Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will receive, reduced by any 
    required withholding tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value available in your account. 
    However, the amount actually withdrawn from your account will be adjusted for any applicable early 
    withdrawal charge and any positive or negative market value adjustment, and accordingly, may be 
    more or less than the amount requested.   
 
·  Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to our Customer Service Center. 
 
Delivery of Payment. Payment of withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with the SEC’s requirements. 
Normally, payment will be sent not later than seven days following our receipt of the disbursement form in good 
order. Generally, a request is considered to be in “good order” when it is signed, dated and made with such clarity 
and completeness that we are not required to exercise any discretion in carrying it out. However, under certain 
emergency situations, we may defer payment of any withdrawal for a period not exceeding six months from the date 
we receive your withdrawal request.   
 
Taxes, Fees and Deductions. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to one or more of the following: 
 
·  Early Withdrawal Charge: Withdrawals of all or a portion of your account may be subject to an early 
  withdrawal charge. This is a deferred sales charge that reimburses us for some of the sales and 
  administrative expenses associated with the contract. See “Fees—Early Withdrawal Charge.” 
 
·  Annual Maintenance Fee: If you make a full withdrawal from the contract, we may deduct any applicable 
  annual maintenance fee. See “Fees—Annual Maintenance Fee.” 
 
·  Market Value Adjustment (MVA): The MVA reflects changes in interest rates since the deposit period. 
  The MVA may be positive or negative. If you make a withdrawal before the end of a guaranteed term, we 
  will calculate an MVA and the amount withdrawn will be adjusted for any applicable positive or negative 
  MVA. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA)”. 
 
·  Tax Penalty: If you make a withdrawal before you attain age 59½, the amount withdrawn may be subject 
  to a 10% penalty tax. See “Taxation.”   
 
·  Tax Withholding: Amounts withdrawn may be subject to withholding for federal income taxes. See 
  “Taxation.”   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  9 

 



All applicable fees and deductions are deducted from the amount of your withdrawal in accordance with the terms of 
the contract. Any market value adjustment applicable to your withdrawal, taxes, fees and deductions may either 
increase or decrease the amount paid to you. To determine which may apply, refer to the appropriate sections of this 
prospectus, contact your sales representative or call our Customer Service Center at the number listed in “Contract 
Overview.”
 
SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS   
 
Features of a Systematic Distribution Option   
 
A systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from the contract without moving into the 
income phase. By remaining in the accumulation phase, certain rights and flexibility not available during the 
income phase are retained. These options may be exercised at any time during the accumulation phase of the 
contract.     
 
The following systematic distribution options may be available: 
 
·  Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO). SWO is a series of automatic partial withdrawals from your 
  account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while 
  retaining investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the contract. 
 
  SWO allows you to withdraw either a specified amount or a specified percentage of the contract’s value, or 
  to withdraw amounts over a specified time period that you determine, within certain limits described in the 
  contract. SWO payments can be made on a monthly or quarterly basis, and the amount of each payment is 
  determined by dividing the designated annual amount by the number of payments due each calendar year. 
  SWO payments are withdrawn pro-rata from each of the guaranteed terms under the contract. 
 
  Under a contract purchased as a traditional IRA, if the SWO payment for any year is less than the required 
  minimum distribution under the Tax Code, the SWO payment will be increased to an amount equal to the 
  minimum distribution amount.   
 
  If you participate in SWO, you may not utilize a special withdrawal to make additional withdrawals from 
  the contract. See “Withdrawals—Special Withdrawals.” 
 
·  Estate Conservation Option (ECO). ECO offers the same investment flexibility as SWO, but is designed 
  for those who want to receive only the minimum distribution the Tax Code requires each year. 
 
  Under ECO, we calculate the minimum distribution amount required by law, and pay you that amount once 
  a year. ECO is not available under non-qualified contracts or under Roth IRA contracts. ECO payments 
  are withdrawn pro-rata from each of the guaranteed terms under the contract. We will, upon request, 
  inform you in advance of the amount payable under ECO. 
 
  If you participate in ECO, you may not utilize a special withdrawal to make additional withdrawals from 
  the contract. See “Withdrawals—Special Withdrawals.” 
 
·  Other Systematic Distribution Options. We may add additional systematic distribution options from 
  time to time. You may obtain additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options 
  from your sales representative or from our Customer Service Center. 
 
Availability. If allowed by applicable law, we reserve the right to discontinue the availability of one or all of the 
systematic distribution options for new elections at any time and to change the terms of future elections. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  10 

 



Eligibility. To exercise one of these options you must meet certain age criteria and your account value must meet 
certain minimum requirements. To determine if you meet the age and account value criteria and to assess terms and 
conditions that may apply, contact your sales representative or our Customer Service Center. 
 
Termination. You may revoke a systematic distribution option at any time by submitting a written request to our 
Customer Service Center. However, once cancelled, you or your spousal beneficiary may not elect SWO again. In 
addition, once cancelled, ECO may not be elected again until 36 months have elapsed. 
 
Deductions and Taxation. When you elect a systematic distribution option, your account value remains in the 
accumulation phase and subject to the applicable charges and deductions described in “Fees.” However, we will not 
apply an early withdrawal charge or market value adjustment to any part of your account value paid under SWO or 
ECO. Taking a withdrawal through a systematic distribution option may have tax consequences. If you are 
concerned about tax implications consult a tax adviser before one of these options is elected. See “Taxation.” 
 
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)   
 
Purpose of the MVA. If you make an early withdrawal from the contract, we may need to liquidate certain assets 
or use existing cash flow that would otherwise be available to invest at current interest rates. The assets we may 
liquidate to provide your withdrawal amount may be sold at a profit or a loss, depending upon market conditions. 
To lessen this impact, certain withdrawals are subject to an MVA. 
 
What is an MVA? In certain situations described below, including when you make a withdrawal before the end of 
a guaranteed term, we will calculate an MVA and either add or deduct that value from the amount withdrawn. The 
calculation we use to determine the MVA reflects the change in the value of your investment due to changes in 
interest rates since the start of the guaranteed term under the contract. When these interest rates increase, the value 
of the investment decreases, and the MVA amount may be negative and cause a deduction from your withdrawal 
amount. Conversely, when these interest rates decrease, the value of the investment increases, and the MVA amount 
may be positive and cause an increase in your withdrawal amount. 
 
Calculation of the MVA. For a further explanation of how the MVA is calculated, see Appendix I. 
 
When Does an MVA Apply? An MVA may apply when: 
 
·  You request a withdrawal before the end of a guaranteed term. In this case the withdrawal amount may be 
  increased or decreased by the application of the MVA. 
 
·  You initiate income phase payments before the end of your guaranteed term. In this case an MVA may be 
  applied to any amounts used to start income phase payments. While either a positive or negative MVA 
  may apply to amounts used to start a nonlifetime payment option, only a positive MVA will apply to 
  amounts used to start a lifetime payment option. See “Income Phase.” 
 
·  We terminate the contract because your account value is less than $2,500. 
 
·  You cancel the contract.   
 
·  A death benefit is paid upon the death of the annuitant, more than six months after the annuitant’s death. 
  See “Death Benefit.”   
 
·  A death benefit is paid upon the death of a person other than the annuitant. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  11 

 



When Does an MVA Not Apply? An MVA will not be applied to: 
 
·  Withdrawals under SWO or ECO as described in “Systematic Distribution Options.” 
 
·  A death benefit payable upon death of an annuitant, if paid within six months of the annuitant’s death. See 
  “Death Benefit.”   
 
·  Amounts withdrawn at the end of a guaranteed term, provided that at least five days prior to the end of that 
  guaranteed term we receive your withdrawal request in writing. The MVA, however, remains applicable to 
  any amount you reinvest for another guaranteed term. 
 
 
DEATH BENEFIT   
 
During the Accumulation Phase   
 
Who Receives the Benefit? If you or the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase, a death benefit will be paid 
to your beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the contract subject to the following: 
 
·  Upon the death of a joint contract holder, the surviving joint contract holder will be deemed the designated 
  beneficiary, and any other beneficiary on record will be treated as the beneficiary at the death of the 
  surviving joint contract holder.   
 
·  If you are not a natural person, the death benefit will be payable at the death of the annuitant designated 
  under the contract or upon any change of the annuitant. 
 
·  If you die and no beneficiary exists, the death benefit will be paid in a lump sum to your estate. 
 
Designating a Beneficiary(ies). You may designate a beneficiary on your application or enrollment form, or by 
providing a written request in good order to our Customer Service Center. Generally, a request is considered to be 
in “good order” when it is signed, dated and made with such clarity and completeness that we are not required to 
exercise any discretion in carrying it out.   
 
Calculation of the Benefit. The death benefit is calculated as of the date proof of death and the beneficiary’s right to 
receive the death benefit are received in good order at our Customer Service Center. The amount of the death 
benefit is determined as follows:   
 
·  If the death benefit is paid within six months of the death of the annuitant, the amount equals your account 
  value.   
 
·  If the death benefit is paid more than six months after the date of death of the annuitant, or if paid upon 
  your death and you are not the annuitant, it equals your account value as adjusted by any applicable market 
  value adjustment.   
 
·  If you are not the annuitant, the death benefit payable may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  12 

 



Benefit Payment Options. If you are the annuitant and you die before income phase payments begin, or if you are 
not a natural person and the annuitant dies before income phase payments begin, any beneficiary under the contract 
who is an individual has several options for receiving payment of the death benefit. The death benefit may be paid: 
 
·  In one lump-sum payment;   
 
·  In accordance with any of the available income phase payment options (see “Income Phase—Payment 
  Options”); or   
 
·  In certain circumstances, your beneficiary, spousal beneficiary or joint contract holder may have the option 
  to continue the contract rather than receive the death benefit. 
 
Unless the beneficiary elects otherwise, lump-sum payments will generally be made into an interest bearing retained 
asset account that is backed by our general account. This account is not FDIC insured and can be accessed by the 
beneficiary through a draftbook feature. The beneficiary may access the entire death benefit proceeds at any time 
through the draftbook without penalty. Interest credited on this account may be less than you could earn if the lump- 
sum payment was invested outside of the contract. Additionally, interest credited on this account may be less than 
under other settlement options available through the contract, and the Company seeks to earn a profit on this 
account.     
 
At the time of death benefit election, the beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit proceeds directly by 
check rather than through the retained asset account draftbook feature by notifying us at the address shown in the 
“Contract Overview – Questions: Contacting the Company” section of this prospectus. 
 
Taxation. The Tax Code requires distribution of death benefit proceeds within a certain period of time. Failure to 
begin receiving death benefit payments within those time periods can result in tax penalties. Regardless of the 
method of payment, death benefit proceeds will generally be taxed to the beneficiary in the same manner as if you 
had received those payments. See “Taxation” for additional information. 
 
Change of Beneficiary. You may change the beneficiary previously designated at any time by submitting notice in 
writing to our Customer Service Center. The change will not be effective until we receive and record it. 
 
INCOME PHASE   
 
During the income phase you receive payments from your accumulated account value. You may apply all or a 
portion of your account value to provide these payments. Income phase payments are made to you or you can, 
subject to availability, request that payments be deposited directly to your bank account. After your death, we will 
send your designated beneficiary any income phase payments still due. You may be required to pay taxes on all or a 
portion of the income phase payments you receive. See “Taxation.” 
 
Partial Entry into the Income Phase. You may elect a payment option for a portion of your account value, while 
leaving the remaining portion in a guaranteed term(s). Whether the Tax Code considers such payments taxable as 
annuity payments or as withdrawals is currently unclear; therefore, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser 
before electing this option.   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  13 

 



Initiating Income Phase Payments. At least 30 days prior to the date you want to start receiving income phase 
payments, you must notify us in writing of the following: 
 
·  Start date;   
·  Payment option (see the payment options table in this section); and 
·  Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually). 
 
The account will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly initiate income phase payments. You may 
change your payment option election up to 30 days before income phase payments begin. Once you elect for 
income phase payments to begin, you may not elect a different payment option or elect to receive a lump-sum 
payment.   
 
What Affects Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect payment amounts include your age, your 
gender, your account value, the payment option selected and number of guaranteed payments (if any) selected. 
 
Minimum Payment Amounts. The payment option you select must result in one or both of the following: 
 
·  A first payment of at least $50; or   
·  Total yearly payments of at least $250.   
 
If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts, you must elect a lump-sum payment. 
We reserve the right to increase the minimum payment amount based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index— 
Urban.     
 
Payment Start Date. Income phase payments may start any time after the first year of the contract, and will start 
the later of the annuitant’s 85th birthday or the tenth anniversary of your purchase payment, unless you elect 
otherwise.   
 
Regardless of your income phase payment start date, your income phase payments will not begin until you have 
selected an income phase payment option. Failure to select a payment option by your payment start date, or 
postponement of the start date past the later of the annuitant’s 85th birthday or the tenth anniversary of your 
purchase payment, may have adverse tax consequences. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser if you are 
considering either of these courses of action.   
 
Payment Length. If you choose a lifetime income phase payment option with guaranteed payments, the age of the 
annuitant plus the number of years for which payments are guaranteed must not exceed 95 at the time payments 
begin. Additionally, federal income tax requirements currently applicable to traditional IRAs provide that the period 
of years guaranteed may not be greater than the joint life expectancies of the payee and his or her designated 
beneficiary.   
 
Charges Deducted. No early withdrawal charge will be applied to amounts used to start income phase payments, 
although a market value adjustment may be applicable. 
 
Market Value Adjustment. If your income phase payments start before the end of your guaranteed term, a market 
value adjustment will be applied to any amounts used to start income phase payments. If you select a lifetime 
payment option, only a positive market value adjustment will be applied. See “Market Value Adjustment (MVA).” 
 
Death Benefit During the Income Phase. Upon the death of either the annuitant or the surviving joint annuitant, 
the amount payable, if any, to your beneficiary depends on the payment option currently in force. Any amounts 
payable must be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the annuitant’s death. If you 
die and you are not the annuitant, any remaining payments will continue to be made to your beneficiary at least as 
rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at your death. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  14 

 



Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you or your beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the 
Tax Code. See “Taxation.”

INVESTMENTS   
 
Separate Account. Payments received under the contract and allocated to guaranteed terms will be deposited to, 
and accounted for, in a nonunitized separate account that we established under Connecticut law. A nonunitized 
separate account is a separate account in which you do not participate in the performance of the assets through unit 
values or any other interest. Prior to January 1, 2006, amounts under the contract were held in a nonunitized 
separate account of ING Insurance Company of America (“IICA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In 
connection with the merger of IICA with and into the Company, this nonunitized separate account was transferred to 
the Company on December 31, 2005. The nonunitized separate account now operates pursuant to Connecticut law. 
 
Persons allocating amounts to the nonunitized separate account do not receive a unit value of ownership of assets 
accounted for in the separate account. The assets accrue solely to our benefit and we bear the entire risk of 
investment gain or loss. All of our obligations due to allocations to the nonunitized separate account are contractual 
guarantees we have made and are accounted for in the separate account. All of our general assets are available to 
meet the guarantees under the contracts. However, to the extent provided for in the applicable contracts, assets of 
the nonunitized separate account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. 
Income, gains or losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the assets of the separate account 
without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. 
 
Setting Guaranteed Interest Rates. We do not have any specific formula for setting guaranteed interest rates for 
the guaranteed terms. We expect the guaranteed interest rates to be influenced by, but not necessarily correspond to, 
yields on fixed income securities we acquire with amounts allocated to the guaranteed terms when the guaranteed 
interest rates are set.   
 
Types of Investments. Our assets will be invested in accordance with the requirements established by applicable 
state laws regarding the nature and quality of investments that may be made by life insurance companies and the 
percentage of their assets that may be committed to any particular type of investment. In general, these laws permit 
investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state, and municipal obligations, 
corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, and certain other investments. 
 
We intend to invest in assets which, in the aggregate, have characteristics, especially cash flow patterns, reasonably 
related to the characteristics of the liabilities. Various immunization techniques will be used to achieve the objective 
of close aggregate matching of assets and liabilities. We will primarily invest in investment-grade fixed income 
securities including:   
 
·  Securities issued by the United States Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, which issues may or 
  may not be guaranteed by the United States Government; 
 
·  Debt securities that are rated, at the time of purchase, within the four highest grades assigned by Moody’s 
  Investors Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa) or Standard & Poor’s Corporation (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or 
  any other nationally recognized rating organizations; 
 
·  Other debt instruments including those issued or guaranteed by banks or bank holding companies and of 
  corporations, which although not rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, or other nationally recognized 
  rating organizations, are deemed by the Company’s management to have an investment quality comparable 
  to securities which may be purchased as stated above; and 
 
·  Commercial paper, cash or cash equivalents, and other short-term investments having a maturity of less 
  than one year which are considered by the Company’s management to have investment quality comparable 
  to securities which may be purchased as stated above. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  16 

 



In addition, we may invest in futures and options. We purchase financial futures and related options and options on 
securities solely for non-speculative hedging purposes. In the event securities prices are anticipated to decline, we 
may sell a futures contract or purchase a put option on futures or securities to protect the value of securities held in 
or to be sold for the nonunitized separate account. Similarly, if securities prices are expected to rise, we may 
purchase a futures contract or a call option against anticipated positive cash flow or we may purchase options on 
securities.   
 
While this section generally describes our investment strategy, we are not obligated to invest the assets 
attributable to the contract according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by state 
insurance laws. Additionally, the guaranteed interest rates we establish need not relate to the investment 
performance we experience.
 
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS   
 
Introduction   
This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. Federal Income 
tax treatment of the contracts is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when 
reading this section:   
 
·  Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as applicable) determines federal 
  taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract; 
·  Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past; 
·  This section addresses some, but not all, applicable federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal 
  estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes, or any other tax provisions; and 
·  We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the 
  contract.   
 
We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the effect of federal income taxes or any other 
taxes on amounts held or paid out under the contract, consult a tax adviser. 
 
Types of Contracts: Non-Qualified or Qualified   
The contract described in this prospectus may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis (non-qualified contracts) or 
purchased on a tax-qualified basis (qualified contracts). 
 
Non-qualified contracts are purchased with after tax contributions and are not related to retirement plans that receive 
special income tax treatment under the Tax Code.   
 
Qualified contracts are designed for use by individuals and/or employers whose premium payments are comprised 
solely of proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or programs that are intended to qualify as plans 
or programs entitled to special favorable income tax treatment under sections 401, 408 or 408A, and some 
provisions of section 403 of the Tax Code.   
 
Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts   
 
Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution   
Tax Code section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that if you are a natural person you 
will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a non-qualified contract until a distribution occurs or until 
annuity payments begin. This assumes that the contract will qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax 
purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be 
treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation, the following requirements must be 
satisfied:     
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  17 

 



Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the 
Tax Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the 
contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The non-qualified contracts contain provisions that are 
intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have 
yet been issued. We intend to review such distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they 
comply with the applicable requirements when such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise. 
 
Non-Natural Holders of a Non-Qualified Contract. If you are not a natural person, a non-qualified 
contract generally is not treated as an annuity for income tax purposes and the income on the contract for the taxable 
year is currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract is any increase over the year in the excess of 
the contract value over the “investment in the contract” (generally, the premiums or other consideration you paid for 
the contract less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a 
non-natural person should consult with its tax adviser prior to purchasing the contract. When the contract owner is 
not a natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner. 
 
Delayed Annuity Starting Date. If the contract’s annuity starting date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at 
a time when the annuitant has reached an advanced age (e.g., after age 85), it is possible that the contract would not 
be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the contract 
could be currently includible in your income.   
 
Taxation of Distributions   
 
General. When a withdrawal from a non-qualified contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as 
ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the 
amount of any surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the 
contract at that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract, 
plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments or gifts, less the 
aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. 
 
In the case of a surrender under a non-qualified contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the 
extent it exceeds the contract owner’s cost basis in the contract. 
 
10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a non-qualified contract may be subject to a federal tax penalty 
equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions: 
 
·  made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½; 
·  made on or after the death of a contract owner (the annuitant if the contract owner is a non-natural 
  person);   
·  attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code; 
·  made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life 
  or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated 
  beneficiary; or   
·  the distribution is allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982. 
 
The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other 
exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with 
the exceptions enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  18 

 



Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment 
or annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in 
the old contract will carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding procedures 
for making Section 1035 exchanges.   
 
If your contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract that 
was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax 
purposes, as coming:   
 
·  First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982 and 
  exchanged into the contract;   
·  Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 
  1982;   
·  Then, from any remaining “income on the contract;” and 
·  Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract.” 
 
The IRS has concluded that in certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for 
another contract will be tax-free. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of partial withdrawals or surrenders from either 
an original contract or a new contract during the 180 day period beginning on the date of the partial exchange may 
retroactively negate the tax-free treatment of the partial exchange. If this occurs, the partial withdrawal or surrender 
of the original contract will be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of gain in the 
original contract. Furthermore, if the partial exchange occurred prior to the contract owner reaching age 59½, the 
contract owner may be subject to an additional 10% tax penalty. We are not responsible for the manner in which 
any other insurance companies administer, recognize or report, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Section 1035 
exchanges and partial exchanges and what the ultimate tax treatment may be by the IRS. You should consult with 
your tax adviser with respect to any proposed Section 1035 exchange or partial exchange prior to proceeding with 
any such transaction with respect to your Contract.  
 
Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option 
elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is 
taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that 
is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected 
stream of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has 
been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary 
income.     
 
On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which included 
language that permits the partial annuitization of non-qualified annuities, effective for amounts received in taxable 
years beginning after December 31, 2010. The provision applies an exclusion ratio to any amount received as an 
annuity under a portion of an annuity provided that the annuity payments are made for a period of ten years or more 
or for life. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.
 
Death Benefits. Amounts may be distributed from a contract because of your death or the death of the 
annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a 
lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payment 
option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments. Special rules may apply to amounts distributed after a 
beneficiary has elected to maintain contract value and receive payments. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  19 

 



Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs: 
 
·  After you begin receiving annuity payments under the contract; or 
·  Before you begin receiving such distributions. 
 
If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as 
under the method in effect at the time of your death.   
 
If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed 
within five years after the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1, 2012, your entire balance 
must be distributed by August 31, 2017. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then 
payments may be made over one of the following timeframes:  
 
·  Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or 
·  Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary. 
 
If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new 
contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies, the same rules apply 
on the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a contract owner. 
 
The contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value. 
Certain charges are imposed with respect to the death benefit. It is possible that these charges (or some portion 
thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the contract. 
 
Assignments and Other Transfers. A transfer, pledge or assignment of ownership of a non-qualified 
contract, the selection of certain annuity dates, or the designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may 
result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. The assignment, pledge or agreement to 
assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. Anyone contemplating 
any such transfer, pledge, assignment, or designation or exchange, should consult a tax adviser regarding the 
potential tax effects of such a transaction.   
 
Immediate Annuities. Under section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity (1) 
which is purchased with a single premium, (2) with annuity payments starting within one year from the date of 
purchase, and (3) which provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more 
frequently. While this contract is not designed as an immediate annuity, treatment as an immediate annuity would 
have significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non- 
natural persons, and for certain exchanges.   
 
      Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a 
company or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for 
purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code section 72(e). In addition, the 
Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code section 72(e) 
through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise. 
 
Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution 
made under a contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects 
not to have any amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid 
taxpayer identification number or if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on 
file is incorrect. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same 
as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the 
taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect not to have federal income tax withheld, 
you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  20 

 



If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is governed by Tax Code section 
1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status, and we may require additional 
documentation prior to processing any requested distribution. 
 
Taxation of Qualified Contracts   
 
General   
The contracts are primarily designed for use with IRAs under Tax Code section 408 and 408A (We refer to 
these as “qualified plans”). The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified plans vary according to the 
type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the 
amounts held under a contract, or on annuity payments, depends on the type of retirement plan and as well as your 
particular facts and circumstances. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of 
contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a qualified contract 
with proceeds from a tax-qualified plan in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.  
 
Adverse tax consequences may result from: contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions before age 59½ 
(subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum 
distribution rules; and in other specified circumstances. Some qualified plans may be subject to additional 
distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the contract. No attempt is made to provide more 
than general information about the use of the contracts with qualified plans. Contract owners, annuitants, and 
beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under these qualified plans may be subject to 
the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. The 
Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms contradict the contract, 
unless we consent.   
 
Contract owners and beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and 
other transactions with respect to the contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should seek competent 
legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of a contract for your particular situation. The following discussion 
assumes that qualified contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or 
programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment. 
 
Tax Deferral   
Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are 
withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as defined in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not 
necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already 
available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as guaranteed living 
benefits and/or death benefits or the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) that may be 
valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the 
additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity. 
 
Individual Retirement Annuities. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute 
to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”). IRAs are subject to limits 
on the amounts that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution, the persons who may be eligible, 
and the time when distributions commence. Contributions to IRAs must be made in cash or as a rollover or a 
transfer from another eligible plan. Also, distributions from IRAs, individual retirement accounts, and other types of 
retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. If you make a tax-free rollover of a 
distribution from an IRA you may not make another tax-free rollover from the IRA within a 1-year period. Sales of 
the contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  21 

 



The IRS has not reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, 
in a ruling of general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification 
requirements.     
 
Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. 
Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be 
eligible to contribute, are not deductible, and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from an eligible 
retirement plan, another Roth IRA or other IRA. Certain qualifying individuals may convert an IRA, SEP, or a 
SIMPLE to a Roth IRA. Such rollovers and conversions are subject to tax, and other special rules may apply. If you 
make a tax-free rollover of a distribution from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, you may not make another tax-free 
rollover from the Roth IRA from which the rollover was made within a 1-year period. A 10% penalty may apply to 
amounts attributable to a conversion to a Roth IRA if the amounts are distributed during the five taxable years 
beginning with the year in which the conversion was made. 
 
Sales of a contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not 
reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of 
general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements. 
 
Contributions   
In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions to 
certain qualified plans are limited by the Tax Code. You should consult with your tax adviser in connection with 
contributions to a qualified contract.   
 
Distributions – General   
Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a contract 
including withdrawals, annuity payments, rollovers, exchanges and death benefit proceeds. We report the taxable 
portion of all distributions to the IRS.   
 
Individual Retirement Annuities. All distributions from an IRA are taxed as received unless either one of 
the following is true:   
 
·  The distribution is rolled over to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted 
  under the Tax Code; or   
·  You made after-tax contributions to the IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according 
  to rules detailed in the Tax Code.   
 
The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from an IRA unless certain 
exceptions, including one or more of the following, have occurred: 
 
·  You have attained age 59½;   
·  You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code; 
·  You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary; 
·  The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in 
  accordance with the terms of the Tax Code; 
·  The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan; 
·  The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order 
  (QDRO); or   
·  The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 
  2006.   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  22 

 



In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to a distribution made from an IRA to pay for health insurance 
premiums for certain unemployed individuals, a qualified first-time home purchase, or for higher education 
expenses.     
 
Roth IRAs. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is not taxed when it is received. A qualified 
distribution is a distribution:   
 
·  Made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a 
  contribution was made to a Roth IRA of the owner; and 
·  Made after you attain age 59½; die, become disabled as defined in the Tax Code, or for a qualified 
  first-time home purchase.   
 
If a distribution is not qualified, generally it will be taxable to the extent of the accumulated earnings. A partial 
distribution will first be treated as a return of contributions which is not taxable and then as taxable accumulated 
earnings.     
 
The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a 
qualified distribution unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above 
also apply to a distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution or a rollover to a Roth IRA that is not 
a qualified rollover contribution. The 10% penalty tax is also waived on a distribution made from a Roth IRA to pay 
for health insurance premiums for certain unemployed individuals, used for a qualified first-time home purchase, or 
for higher education expenses.   
 
Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (IRAs only). To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any 
designated beneficiary must also meet the minimum distribution requirements imposed by the Tax Code. These 
rules may dictate the following:   
 
·  Start date for distributions;   
·  The time period in which all amounts in your account(s) must be distributed; and 
·  Distribution amounts.   
 
Start Date and Time Period. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the 
calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70½. We must pay out distributions from the 
contract over a period not extending beyond one of the following time periods: 
 
·  Over your life or the joint lives of you and your designated beneficiary; or 
·  Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your 
  designated beneficiary.   
 
Distribution Amounts. The amount of each required distribution must be calculated in accordance 
with Tax Code section 401(a)(9). The entire interest in the account includes the amount of any outstanding rollover, 
transfer, recharacterization, if applicable, and the actuarial present value of any other benefits provided under the 
account, such as guaranteed death benefits.   
 
50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the minimum required distribution for any tax year, a 50% 
excise tax may be imposed on the required amount that was not distributed. 
 
Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions are not applicable to Roth IRAs. Further information regarding required 
minimum distributions may be found in your contract. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  23 

 



Required Distributions Upon Death (IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). Different distribution requirements 
apply after your death, depending upon if you have been receiving required minimum distributions. Further 
information regarding required distributions upon death may be found in your contract. 
 
If your death occurs on or after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, distributions 
generally must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death. Tax Code section 
401(a)(9) provides specific rules for calculating the required minimum distributions after your death. 
 
If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, your entire balance 
must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. 
For example, if you died on September 1, 2012, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary 
by December 31, 2017. However, if distributions begin by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar 
year of your death, and you have named a designated beneficiary, then payments may be made over either of the 
following time frames:    
 
·  Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or 
·  Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary. 
 
Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, distributions 
must begin on or before the later of the following:   
 
·  December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death; or 
·  December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 70½. 
 
No Designated Beneficiary. If there is no designated beneficiary, the entire interest generally must be 
distributed by the end of the calendar containing the fifth anniversary of the contract owner’s death. 
 
Special Rule for IRA Spousal Beneficiaries (IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). In lieu of taking a 
distribution under these rules, if the sole designated beneficiary is the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the spousal 
beneficiary may elect to treat the contract as his or her own IRA and defer taking a distribution until his or her own 
start date. The surviving spouse is deemed to have made such an election if the surviving spouse makes a rollover to 
or from the contract or fails to take a distribution within the required time period. 
 
Withholding   
Any taxable distributions under the contract are generally subject to withholding. Federal income tax 
withholding rates vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient’s tax status.  
 
IRAs and Roth IRAs. Generally, you or, if applicable, a designated beneficiary may elect not to have tax 
withheld from distributions.   
 
Non-resident Aliens. If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is 
governed by Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status, 
and we may require additional documentation prior to processing any requested distribution. 
 
Assignment and Other Transfers   
 
IRAs and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under the 
contracts except in limited circumstances. Adverse tax consequences may result if you assign or transfer your 
interest in the contract to persons other than your spouse incident to a divorce. Anyone contemplating such an 
assignment or transfer should contact a qualified tax adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  24 

 



Possible Changes in Taxation   
Although the likelihood of legislative change and tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax 
treatment of the contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change could be 
retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to 
legislative developments and their effect on the contract. 
 
Same-Sex Marriages   
Pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex marriages currently are not 
recognized for purposes of federal law. Therefore, the favorable income-deferral options afforded by federal tax law 
to an opposite-sex spouse under Code sections 72(s) and 401(a)(9) are currently NOT available to a same-sex 
spouse. Same-sex spouses who own or are considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based 
upon status as a spouse should consult a qualified tax adviser. In certain states, to the extent that an annuity contract 
or certificate offers to spouses other rights or benefits that are not affected by DOMA, same-sex spouses remain 
entitled to such rights or benefits to the same extent as any Contract Owner’s spouse. 
 
Taxation of the Company   
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The Company owns all assets supporting the 
contract obligations. Any income earned on such assets is considered income to the Company. We do not intend to 
make any provision or impose a charge under the contracts with respect to any tax liability of the Company. 
 
OTHER TOPICS   
 
The Company   
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, the contracts were issued by ING Insurance Company of America (“IICA”), a wholly 
owned subsidiary of ours. IICA was a life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of 
Connecticut in 1990 and redomesticated under the insurance laws of the State of Florida on January 5, 2000. Prior 
to January 1, 2002, IICA was known as Aetna Insurance Company of America. Effective December 31, 2005, IICA 
merged with and into ILIAC, and ILIAC assumed responsibility for IICA’s obligations under the contracts. 
 
ILIAC is a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and 
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of 
insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger, ILIAC’s operations include the business of Aetna 
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an 
Arkansas life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to January 1, 2002, ILIAC was known as Aetna Life 
Insurance and Annuity Company. Although we are a subsidiary of ING, ING is not responsible for the obligations 
under the contract. The obligations under the contract are solely the responsibility of ILIAC. 
 
As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING has agreed to separate its banking 
and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance and 
investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for 
implementing the separation including initial public offerings, sales or combinations thereof. On November 10, 
2010, ING announced that ING and its U.S. insurance affiliates, including the Company, are preparing for a base 
case of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management 
affiliates.    
 
We are engaged in the business of selling life insurance and annuities. Our principal executive offices are located 
at:   
 
One Orange Way

Regulatory Matters   
As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and 
formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory 
organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries, investigations and audits of the products and practices of 
the Company or the financial services industry. These currently include an inquiry regarding the Company’s policy 
for correcting errors made in processing trades for ERISA plans or plan participants. Some of these investigations, 
examinations, audits and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of 
the investigations, examinations, audits, inquiries and any such regulatory action is difficult to predict but could 
subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to plans or 
participants, disgorgement, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other financial liability and changes to the 
Company’s policies and procedures, the financial impact of which cannot be estimated at this time, but management 
does not believe will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. It 
is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.  
 
  Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, 
securities and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental 
and self-regulatory authorities. Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to non- 
qualified annuity product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of 
such products under the Internal Revenue Code. (See “Federal Tax Considerations” for further discussion of some 
of these requirements.) Failure to administer certain non-qualified contract features (for example, contractual 
annuity start dates in non-qualified annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and 
federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering 
and distribution, and administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements 
could subject the Company to administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs. 
 
Contract Distribution   
The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the 
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at 
One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. 
 
The contracts are offered to the public by individuals who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, 
LLC or other broker-dealers which have entered into a selling arrangement with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We 
refer to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and the other broker-dealers selling the contracts as “distributors.” 
 
All registered representatives selling the contracts must also be licensed as insurance agents for the Company. 
 
The following distributors are affiliated with the Company: 
·  ING Financial Partners, Inc.   
·  Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc.   
 
Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the 
compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the 
agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives 
or payments, is not paid directly by contract owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup this 
compensation and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts. 
 
Compensation Arrangements. Registered Representatives who offer and sell the contracts may be paid a 
commission. The maximum percentage amount that may be paid with respect to a given purchase payment is the 
first-year percentage which ranges from 0% to a maximum of 6% of the first year of payments to an account. 
Renewal commissions paid on payments made after the first year and asset-based service fees may also be paid. 
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  26 

 



Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, 
depending upon the firm’s practices. Commissions and any annual payments, when combined, could exceed 6% of 
total premium payments. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and 
regulations, we may also pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or 
other compensation to distributors, which may require the registered representative to attain a certain threshold of 
sales of Company products.   
 
We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms’ aggregate 
or anticipated sales of the contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered 
to all distributors, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors based on various factors. Any 
such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us. 
 
Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including 
trips, and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such 
compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Management personnel of the Company, and 
of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds 
advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain 
management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if management personnel meet or 
exceed goals for sales of the contracts, or if the overall amount of investments in the contracts and other products 
issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over time. Certain sales management personnel may 
also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the commissions paid to distributors or of purchase 
payments received under the contracts, or which may be a flat dollar amount that varies based upon other factors, 
including management’s ability to meet or exceed service requirements, sell new contracts or retain existing 
contracts, or sell additional service features such as a common remitting program. 
 
In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, through ING Financial Advisers, 
LLC, we may also pay distributors additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling 
the contracts to you and other customers. These amounts may include: 
 
·  Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the 
  aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated 
  insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year; 
 
·  Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to 
  agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or 
  elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan,

This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our variable annuity 
contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume- or sales-based compensation to a distributor 
or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our contracts 
and/or services over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our 
contracts over another.     
 
Contract Modification     
Only an authorized officer of the Company may change the terms of the contract. We may change the contract as 
required by federal or state law. In addition, we may, upon 30 days’ written notice to the contract holder, make 
other changes to group contracts that would apply only to individuals who become participants under that contract 
after the effective date of such changes. If the group contract holder does not agree to a change, we reserve the right 
to refuse to establish new accounts under the contract.     
 
Certain changes will require the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities. 
 
Transfer of Ownership; Assignment     
Your rights under a non-qualified contract may be assigned or transferred. An assignment of a contract will only be 
binding on us if it is made in writing and sent to and accepted by us at our Customer Service Center. We will use 
reasonable procedures to confirm the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature. If we fail to 
follow our own procedures, we will be liable for any losses to you directly resulting from the failure. Otherwise, we 
are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. The rights of the contract holder and the interest of the 
annuitant and any designated beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee we have on our records. We 
reserve the right not to accept any assignment or transfer to a non-natural person. In some cases, an assignment may 
have adverse tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser.

Involuntary Terminations   
We reserve the right to terminate any account with a value of $2,500 or less immediately following a partial 
withdrawal. However, an IRA may only be closed out when payments to the contract have not been received for a 
24-month period and the paid-up annuity benefit at maturity would be less than $20 per month. If such right is 
exercised, you will be given 90 days’ advance written notice. No early withdrawal charge will be deducted for 
involuntary terminations. We do not intend to exercise this right in cases where the account value is reduced to 
$2,500 or less solely due to investment performance. 
 
Legal Matters   
The Company’s organization and authority, and the contract’s legality and validity, have been passed on by the 
Company’s legal department.   
 
Experts   
The consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10- 
K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (including schedules appearing therein), have been audited by Ernst & 
Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are incorporated by 
reference, and incorporated in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in 
accounting and auditing.    
 
Legal Proceedings   
The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of 
business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes 
include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, 
certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it 
is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and 
established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a 
materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position. 
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract, is a party to threatened or 
pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of these suits may seek 
class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and 
other types of relief. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of 
management, is likely to have material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

APPENDIX I   
 
 
Calculating a Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
 
Market Value Adjustment Formula   
The mathematical formula used to determine the MVA is: 
 
                                       x   
       { (1+i) } 365 
                   (1+j) 
 
Where:     
 
·  i is the deposit period yield;   
·  j is the current yield; and   
·  x is the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the 
  guaranteed term.   
 
We make an adjustment in the formula of the MVA to reflect the period of time remaining in the guaranteed term 
from the Wednesday of the week of a withdrawal. 
 
Explanation of the Market Value Adjustment Formula 
The MVA essentially involves a comparison of two yields: the yield available at the start of the current guaranteed 
term of the contract (the deposit period yield) and the yield currently available (the current yield). 
 
The MVA depends on the relationship between the following: 
 
·  The deposit period yield of U.S. Treasury Notes that mature in the last quarter of the guaranteed term; and 
·  The current yield of these U.S. Treasury Notes at the time of withdrawal. 
 
If the current yield is the lesser of the two, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from the contract to satisfy 
the withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current yield is the higher of the two, the MVA will 
increase the amount withdrawn from the contract to satisfy the withdrawal request (the MVA will be negative, or 
detrimental to the investor). As a result of the MVA imposed, the amount withdrawn from the contract prior to the 
maturity date may be less than the amount paid into the contract. 
 
To determine the deposit period yield and the current yield, certain information must be obtained about the prices of 
outstanding U.S. Treasury Notes. This information may be found each business day in publications such as the Wall 
Street Journal, which publishes the yield-to-maturity percentages for all Treasury Notes as of the preceding business 
day. These percentages are used in determining the deposit period yield and the current yield for the MVA 
calculation.   
 
Deposit Period Yield   
Determining the deposit period yield in the MVA calculation involves consideration of interest rates prevailing at 
the start of the guaranteed term from which the withdrawal will be made, as follows: 
 
·  We identify the Treasury Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term; and 
·  We determine the yield-to-maturity percentages of these Treasury Notes for the last business day of each 
  week in the deposit period.   
 
 
 
 
ILIAC MRA (IICA) – IICAMRA  I-1 

 



The resulting percentages are then averaged to determine the deposit period yield. The deposit period is the period 
of time during which the purchase payment or any reinvestment may be made to available guaranteed terms. A deposit 
period may be a month, a calendar quarter, or any other period of time we specify. 
 
Current Yield   
To determine the current yield, we use the same Treasury Notes identified for the deposit period yield—Treasury 
Notes that mature in the last three months of the guaranteed term. However, the yield-to-maturity percentages used 
are those for the last business day of the week preceding the withdrawal. We average these percentages to 
determine the current yield.   
 
Examples of MVA Calculations   
The following are examples of MVA calculations using several hypothetical deposit period yields and current 
yields. These examples do not include the effect of any early withdrawal charge that may be assessed under the 
contract upon withdrawal.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution 
 
Not Applicable 
 
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers 
 
Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") provides that a corporation may provide 
indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections 33- 
770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the CGS regarding 
indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers, employees and 
agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations incorporated 
prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly provides 
otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents against "liability" (defined as the obligation to 
pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, 
or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 
33-775 that the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a 
court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the 
determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more disinterested directors, as 
defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in the case of 
indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or 
such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a 
corporation shall indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable 
expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, 
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in 
the right of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was 
adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, indemnification is 
limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the 
individual was named a party. 
 
A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director of the 
corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains 
Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies issued by an international insurer. The policies cover 
ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and any company in which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a 
controlling financial interest of 50% or more. These policies include either or both the principal underwriter, the 
depositor and any/all assets under the care, custody and control of ING American Insurance Holdings, Inc. and/or its 
subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, 
employment practices liability and fidelity/crime (a.k.a “Financial Institutional Bond”). 
 
Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that ING Financial 
Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain persons against any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) 
incurred by such person if he is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he 
was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as he acted in good 
faith on behalf of ING Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his 
authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or 
expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity provision is 
authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

  (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- 
    effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
    offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
    fide offering thereof. 
 
  (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being 
    registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 
 
  (4)  Not Applicable 
 
  (5)(i)  Not Applicable 
 
  (5)(ii)  That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each 
    prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, 
    other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance 
    on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date 
    it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration 
    statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated 
    or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the 
    registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, 
    supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was 
    part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of 
    first use. 
 
  (6)  That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any 
    purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes in a

    registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to 
    such purchaser: 
 
    (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering 
      required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; 
 
    (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the 
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
    (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material 
      information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the

  Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) 
  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s 
  annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by

(h)  Request for acceleration of effective date: 
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to 
  directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 
  the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such 
  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 
  that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses 
  incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any 
  action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the 
  securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled 
  by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such 
  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
