POLICY SUMMARY

This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus that should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.

The Policy’s Features and Benefits

The Policy  · This prospectus describes our standard ING VUL-CV variable universal life insurance policy. The 
       policy provides death benefits, values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. 
       There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the 
       state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy. 
  · If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. 
       We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy. 

Temporary  · If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance equal to the total amount of insurance 
Insurance       coverage for which you applied. 
  · The maximum amount of temporary insurance is $1,000,000.00, which includes other in-force 
       coverage you have with us. 
See Temporary  · Temporary insurance may not be available in all states. 
Insurance, page 27.   

Premium Payments  · You choose when to pay and how much to pay. 
  · You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient 
See Premium       premiums may cause your policy to lapse without value. 
Payments, page 24.  · You cannot pay additional premiums after age 121. 
  · We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 
       7702 of the Internal Revenue Code or that would cause your policy to become a modified 
       endowment contract. 
  · We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining 
       premium (the “Net Premium”) to the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Interest Division 
       according to your instructions.  

Investment Options  · You may allocate your Net Premiums to the Subaccounts of Security Life Separate Account 
       L1 (the “Separate Account”) and to our Guaranteed Interest Division. 
See The Investment  · The Separate Account is one of our separate accounts and consists of Subaccounts that invest in 
Options, page 17.       corresponding funds. When you allocate premiums to a Subaccount, we invest any Net Premiums 
       in shares of the corresponding fund. 
  · Your Separate Account Value will vary with the investment performance of the funds in which the 
       Subaccounts invest and the charges we deduct from your Separate Account Value. 
  · The Guaranteed Interest Division is part of our general account. 
  · We credit interest of at least 3.00% per year on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest 
       Division, and we may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of this amount.  

Free Look Period  · During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if 
       you are not satisfied for any reason. 
See Free Look Period,  · The free look period is generally ten days from your receipt of the policy, although certain states 
page 27.       may allow more than ten days. The length of the free look period that applies in your state will be 
       stated in your policy. 
  · Generally, there are two types of free look refunds: 
       > Some states require a return of all premium we have received; and 
       > Other states require that we return your Account Value plus a refund of all fees and 
               charges deducted. 
  · The free look refund that applies in your state will be state in your policy. 
  · See Allocation of Net Premium, page 26, for details about how Net Premium will be allocated 
       during the free look period.

Death Benefits  · Death Benefit Proceeds are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies. 
  · Until age 121, the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds will depend on which death benefit 
See Death Benefits,       option is in effect when the insured person dies.  
page 35.  · There are three death benefit options available under your policy: 
          > Death Benefit Option 1 – the Base Death Benefit is the greater of the amount of your base 
              insurance coverage or your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the 
            definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A;
          > Death Benefit Option 2 – the Base Death Benefit is the greater of the amount of your base 
              insurance coverage plus your Account Value or your Account Value multiplied by the 
              appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A; or 
          > Death Benefit Option 3 – the Base Death Benefit is the greater of the amount of your base 
              insurance coverage plus premiums received minus partial withdrawals taken and the partial 
              withdrawal fees or your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the 
            definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.
  · After age 121, Death Benefit Option 1 will apply to all policies and the amount of base insurance 
        coverage selected will equal the amount of base insurance coverage in effect on the policy 
        anniversary nearest the insured person’s 121st birthday plus the amount of coverage, if any, under 
        the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider on that date. 
  · We reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding 
        loan including accrued but unpaid loan interest, accelerated benefit lien including accrued lien 
        interest and unpaid fees and charges. 
  · The Death Benefit Proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy 
       continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.  

Guaranteed  · Your policy will not lapse as long as your Account Value minus any outstanding loan 
Death Benefit        amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest (the “Net Account Value”) is enough to pay 
        the periodic fees and charges when due. 
Riders  · Even if your Net Account Value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due, the 
       policy has two optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders that can keep your policy from lapsing: 
See Guaranteed Death          > For issue ages 25-75, the 20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is an optional rider 
Benefit Riders, page              benefit that may be available, but only when you apply for the policy. If you select this rider, 
42.               your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for 
              the greater of 20 years or to age 65 provided: 
               -  Your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding 
        loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest are at least equal to the sum of the 
        20-Year/Age 65 death benefit guarantee premium payments to the next Monthly 
        Processing Date; and 
               -  Your Net Account Value meets certain diversification requirements. 
          > For issue ages 25-75, the Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is an optional rider benefit 
              that may be available, but only when you apply for the policy. If you select this rider, your 
              policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is guaranteed not to lapse for the 
              lifetime of the insured person provided: 
               -  Your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding 
        loan amount and accrued loan interest are at least equal to the sum of the lifetime death 
        benefit guarantee premium payments to the next Monthly Processing Date; and 
               -  Your Net Account Value meets certain diversification requirements. 
  · There is a separate monthly charge for each of these riders. 
  · The Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders are subject to state approval and may not be available in 
        some states.  

Rider Benefits  · Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of 
        rider benefits: 
See Additional       > Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are added to your policy; and 
Insurance Benefits,       > Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy. 
page 43.  · In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits. 
  · Not all riders may be available under your policy or in your state. 


ING VUL-CV

Transfers  · You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the Subaccounts and to 
       the Guaranteed Interest Division. Transfers are, however, subject to limits, conditions and 
See Transfers, page 60.       restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose. See Limits on Frequent 
       or Disruptive Transfers, page 62. 
  · There are certain restrictions on transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Division.  
  · We do not charge for transfers. 

Asset Allocation  · Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring Account Value to selected 
Programs       Subaccounts of the Separate Account. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too 
       much when the price of a fund’s shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing 
       too little when the price of a fund’s shares is low. 
See Dollar Cost  · Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your Separate Account and 
Averaging, page 60.       Guaranteed Interest Division values are periodically reallocated among your selected 
       investment options to maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen.  
See Automatic  · There is no charge to participate in these asset allocation programs. There are, however, 
Rebalancing,       certain conditions on participation in these asset allocation programs. 
page 61.  · Neither of these asset allocation programs assures a profit nor do they protect you 
       against a loss in a declining market. 

Loans  · After the first policy month, you may take loans against your policy’s Surrender Value. 
  · A loan must be at least $100.00 and is generally limited to your Surrender Value less the 
See Loans, page 58.       periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary (or periodic fees and charges for 
       the next 13 months if you take a loan within the 30-day period before your next policy 
       anniversary). 
  · When you take a loan we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the Loan Division as 
       collateral for your loan. The Loan Division is part of our general account. 
  · We credit amounts held in the Loan Division with interest at an annual rate no less than 
       3.00%.  
  · We also charge interest on loans. Interest is due in arrears on each policy anniversary and 
       accrues daily at an annual rate of 3.75% in policy years one through five and at an annual 
       rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.15%) in all years thereafter. 
  · Loans reduce your policy’s Death Benefit Proceeds and may cause your policy to lapse. 
  · Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser 
before taking a loan against your policy’s Surrender Value.

Partial  · After the first policy year, you may take up to 12 partial withdrawals each policy year. In 
Withdrawals       certain circumstances you may take partial withdrawals during the first policy year. 
  · A partial withdrawal must be at least $100.00 and may not exceed the amount which 
       leaves your Surrender Value less than $500.00. 
See Partial  · We charge a fee of $10.00 for each partial withdrawal. 
Withdrawals,   · Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of base and total insurance coverage under your 
page 66.        policy and will reduce your Account Value.  
  · Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a 
       qualified tax adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy. 

Surrenders  · You may surrender your policy for its Surrender Value at any time after the free look 
       period while the insured person is alive. 
See Surrender,  · Your Surrender Value is your Account Value minus any surrender charge and your 
page 68.       outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest. 
  · Surrender charges apply for the first ten years of each Segment of base insurance coverage. 
       The surrender charge rates shown are for the first Segment year. Surrender charge rates 
       generally decline beginning by the fourth Segment year and reach zero beginning in the 
       eleventh Segment year. 
  · Surrender charge rates vary by the insured person’s age at the time each base insurance 
       coverage Segment is established and gender.  
  · All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request in good order. 
  · If you surrender your policy it cannot be reinstated. 
  · Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a 
       qualified tax adviser before surrendering your policy.  


ING VUL-CV

Reinstatement  · Before age 121 and within five years of lapse you may reinstate your policy and riders 
       (other than the Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders or Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation 
See Reinstatement,       Benefit Rider) if you did not surrender your policy and the insured person is alive and still 
page 69.       insurable according to our normal underwriting rules for the applicable risk class and 
       rating.  
  · You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium. 
  · If you had an outstanding loan when coverage lapsed, we will reinstate it with accrued 
       but unpaid loan interest to the date of the lapse unless directed otherwise.  
  · When we reinstate your policy, we reinstate the surrender charges for the amount and time 
       remaining when your policy lapsed. 
  · A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be considered a modified 
       endowment contract for tax purposes. 
  · Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a qualified 
       tax adviser before reinstating your policy. 


Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy

The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy’s investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur when you consider purchasing the policy and investing in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account.

Life Insurance  · The policy is not a short-term savings vehicle and should be purchased only if you need life 
Coverage       insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a 
       policy. 
  · You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the 
       policy in force for a substantial period of time. 

Fees and Charges  · In the early policy years the surrender charge may exceed the Account Value because 
       the surrender charge may be more than the cumulative premiums minus policy fees and 
See Fees and Charges,       charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial 
page 28.       capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.  
  · The policy’s fees and charges reflect the costs associated with its features and benefits, the 
       services we render, the expenses we expect to incur and the risks we assume under the 
       policy. 
  · We believe that the policy’s fees and charges, in the aggregate, are reasonable, but before 
       purchasing a policy you should compare the value that the policy’s various features and 
       benefits and the available services have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the 
       fees and charges associated with those features, benefits and services. 

Lapse  · Your policy may lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy may terminate if on any 
       Monthly Processing Date:  
See Lapse, page 68.       > A death benefit guarantee is not in effect; and 
       > Your Net Account Value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.  
  · If you meet these conditions, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a 
       sufficient premium payment. 
  · If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life 
       insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse without value. 
  · Partial withdrawals and loans have an adverse impact on your Net Account Value. Before taking a 
       partial withdrawal or loan consider its effect on your ability to keep your policy from lapsing. 

Exchanges  · Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) and/or annuity contract(s) with the policy described 
       in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you. 
See Purchasing a Policy,  · Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) will be 
page 23.       subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation. 
  · Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) 
and/or contract(s) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.

Investment Risk  · You should evaluate the policy’s long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a 
       policy. 
See The Separate  · For amounts you allocate to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account:  
Account, page 17.        > Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the 
               underlying funds; 
       > You assume the risk that your values may decline or may not perform to your 
               expectations; 
       > Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium 
               because of poor fund performance; 
       > Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others; 
       > You should read each fund’s prospectus and understand the risks associated with the 
               fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding Subaccount; and  
       > There is no assurance that any fund will achieve its stated investment objective. 
  · For amounts you allocate to the Guaranteed Interest Division:  
       > Interest rates we declare will change over time; and 
       > You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed 
               minimum annual rate of 3.00%. 

Taxation  · Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are 
       not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify as a 
See TAX       life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as 
CONSIDERATIONS,       a life insurance contract. 
page 70.  · Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax 
       law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain 
       within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may 
       have tax consequences for you: 
       > Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage; 
       > Partial withdrawals; 
       > Loans; 
       > Surrender; 
       > Lapse; and 
       > Reinstatement. 
  · In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a partial withdrawal, surrender 
       or a loan against or secured by the policy will be taxable to you to the extent of any gain in 
       the policy. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment 
       contract as well. 
  · There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by 
       legislation or otherwise. You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative 
       developments and their effect on the policy. 
  · Consult with a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase a policy. 

Sales  · We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the policy. 
Compensation  · Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive their compensation under various payment 
       options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy. 
See Distribution of the  · We generally pay more compensation on premiums paid for base insurance coverage than 
Policy, page 84.       we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Talk to 
       your agent/registered representative about the right blend of base coverage and Adjustable 
       Term Insurance Rider coverage for you. 

Other Products  · We and our affiliates offer other insurance products that may have different features, 
       benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better meet your needs. 
  · Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other 
       products.

Fund Fees and Expenses. The following table shows the minimum and maximum total gross annual fund expenses that you may pay during the time you own the policy. Fund expenses vary from fund to fund and may change from year to year. For more detail about a fund’s fees and expenses, review the fund’s prospectus. See also Fund Fees and Expenses, page 33.

  Minimum  Maximum 
Total Gross Annual Fund Expenses (deducted from fund assets) 20  0.26%  1.25%  

Total gross annual fund expenses are deducted from amounts that are allocated to the fund. They include management fees and other expenses and may include distribution (12b-1) fees. Other expenses may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Distribution (12b-1) fees are used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares.

If a fund is structured as a “fund of funds,” total gross annual fund expenses also include the fees associated with the funds in which it invests. Because of this a fund that is structured as a “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. For a list of the “fund of funds” available through the policy, see the chart of funds available through the Separate Account on page 18.

THE COMPANY, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE GUARANTEED

INTEREST DIVISION

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

We are a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management. ING Groep N.V. is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Although we are an indirect subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., ING Groep N.V. is not responsible for the obligations under the policy. The obligations under the policy are solely the responsibility of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company.

We are also a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (“IMSA”). Companies that belong to IMSA subscribe to a rigorous set of standards that cover the various aspects of sales and service for individually sold life insurance and annuities. IMSA members have adopted policies and procedures that demonstrate a commitment to honesty, fairness and integrity in all customer contacts involving sales and service of individual life insurance and annuity products.

Regulatory Developments – The Company and the Industry

As with many financial services companies, the company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters. Federal and state regulators and self regulatory agencies are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. The company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and have cooperated and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the company. These initiatives also may

ING VUL-CV
15


result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Action has been or may be taken by regulators with respect to the company or certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the company or certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S. based operations, including the company.

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

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 certain requirements relating to product design, administration and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 70, for further discussion of some of these requirements. Failure to administer certain product features could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance 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.

The Investment Options

You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include Subaccounts of the Separate Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.

The Separate Account

We established Security Life Separate Account L1 on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado. It is a unit investment trust, registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

We own all of the assets of the Separate Account and are obligated to pay all amounts due under a policy according to the terms of the policy. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the investment experience of the Separate Account and not the investment experience of our other assets. Additionally, Colorado law provides that we cannot charge the Separate Account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the Separate Account assets will be used first to pay Separate Account policy claims. Only if Separate Account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors.

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests in a corresponding fund. When you allocate premium payments to a Subaccount, you acquire Accumulation Units of that Subaccount. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds when you allocate premium payments to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account.

Funds Available Through the Separate Account. The following chart lists the funds that are available through the Separate Account.

ING VUL-CV

Certain of these funds are structured as “fund of funds.” A “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. The “fund of funds” available through the policy are identified below.

See Appendix B to this prospectus for more information about the funds available through the Separate Account, including information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective. More detailed information about each fund, including information about their investment risks and fees and expenses, can be found in the fund’s current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. You may obtain these documents by contacting us at our Customer Service Center.

A fund available through the Separate Account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, fees and expenses and performance of a fund available through the Separate Account is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.

Voting Privileges. We invest each Subaccount’s assets in shares of a corresponding fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the Separate Account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund’s current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions.

Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.

Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.

We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund’s shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions. This means that instructions from a small number of shareholders can determine the outcome of a vote. There is no minimum number of shares for which we must receive instructions before we vote the shares.

We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to those Subaccounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund’s Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each Subaccount of your policy by dividing your Separate Account Value in that Subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

Right to Change the Separate Account. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our Separate Account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

  • Change the investment objective;
     
  • Offer additional Subaccounts that will invest in funds we find appropriate for policies we issue;
     
  • Eliminate Subaccounts;
     
  • Combine two or more Subaccounts;
     
  • Close Subaccounts. We will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a Subaccount. If a Subaccount is closed or otherwise is unavailable for new investment, unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future premiums directed to the Subaccount that was closed or is unavailable may be automatically allocated among the other available Subaccounts according to your most recent allocation instructions.
     
      If your most recent allocation instructions do not include any available funds, you must provide us with alternative allocation instructions or the premium payment will be returned to you. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting our Customer Service Center. See also the Transfers section of this prospectus, page 60, for information about making Subaccount allocation changes;
     
  • Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a Subaccount currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:
     
     
  • A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;
     
     
  • There is a change in laws or regulations;
     
     
  • There is a change in the fund’s investment objectives or restrictions;
     
     
  • The fund is no longer available for investment; or
     
     
  • Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.
     
  • In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;
     
  • Transfer assets related to your policy class to another Separate Account;
     
  • Withdraw the Separate Account from registration under the 1940 Act;
     
  • Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;
     
  • Cause one or more Subaccounts to invest in a fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;
     
  • Stop selling the policy;
     
  • End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement’s terms;
     
  • Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the Separate Account; or
     
  • Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or its rules or regulations.
     

    We will not make a change until the change is disclosed in an effective prospectus or prospectus supplement, authorized, if necessary, by an order from the SEC and approved, if necessary, by the appropriate state insurance department(s). We will notify you of changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected Subaccount to another Subaccount or to the Guaranteed Interest Division, you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our Customer Service Center.

    The Guaranteed Interest Division

    You may allocate all or a part of your Net Premium and transfer your Net Account Value into the Guaranteed Interest Division. We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Division. Although the interest rate will change over time, the interest rate will never be less than 3.00% . Additionally, we guarantee that the interest rate will not change more frequently than every policy anniversary. Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the Guaranteed Interest Division on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the Guaranteed Interest Division.

    Your Guaranteed Interest Division Value equals the Net Premium you allocate to the Guaranteed Interest Division, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your Account Value.

    The Guaranteed Interest Division guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the Guaranteed Interest Division under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”). Also, we have not registered the Guaranteed Interest Division or the general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the Guaranteed Interest Division and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts.

    The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the Guaranteed Interest Division. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.

    DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

    This prospectus describes our standard ING VUL-CV variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

    If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

    ING VUL-CV
    21


    We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the policy offered through this prospectus, and that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, and may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the company’s management personnel and certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of Account Value allocated to funds affiliated with ING. You should be aware that there may be alternative products available, and if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative.

    Underwriting

    We offer policies using full, simplified issue or guaranteed issue underwriting.

    On the fully underwritten application you will provide us with certain health and other necessary information. Upon receipt of an application, we will follow our underwriting procedures to determine whether the proposed insured person is insurable by us. Before we can make this determination, we may need to request and review medical examinations and other information about the proposed insured person. Through our underwriting process we also determine the risk class for the proposed insured person if the application is accepted. Risk class is based on such factors as the proposed insured person’s age, gender, health and occupation. Risk class will impact the cost of insurance rates you will pay and may also affect premiums and other policy fees, charges and benefits.

    We offer policies using simplified issue or guaranteed issue underwriting up to a preset amount of coverage with reduced evidence of insurability as compared to fully underwritten policies. More evidence of insurability is required for policies using full underwriting than simplified issue underwriting and even less evidence is required for policies using guaranteed issue underwriting.

    Simplified issue and guaranteed issue underwriting is available for policies covering certain individuals in group or sponsored arrangements. Eligibility requires that each proposed insured person:

    • Is actively at work at least 30 hours per week performing normal duties;
    • Has been currently employed and actively at work for the past 90 days;
    • Must answer certain health related questions and may be required to provide certain medical information;
    • Must indicate tobacco use, type and frequency. Tobacco use includes use of any substance in the past 12 months that contains nicotine; and
    • Must consent to be insured.

    Policies using simplified issue or guaranteed issue underwriting are guaranteed issue policies. Whether a guaranteed issue policy will require simplified issue underwriting will depend on the nature of the individuals in the group or sponsored arrangement to be covered and such factors as the proposed insured person’s age and/or health and the amount of coverage. A proposed insured can be rated or excluded from coverage based on, among other things, serious illness, hospitalization, employment status and/or citizenship.

    ING VUL-CV
    22


    All guaranteed issue policies carry different mortality risks compared to policies that are fully underwritten, and the cost of insurance, policy charge and administrative charge may be greater for guaranteed issue policies than fully underwritten policies. A guaranteed issue policy’s fees and charges do not vary, however, depending on whether simplified issue and guaranteed issue underwriting is used.

    Generally, on a current basis, the overall charges are higher for a guaranteed issue policy than for a similar fully underwritten policy. This means that an insured person in a group or sponsored arrangement that uses guaranteed issue underwriting could get individual fully underwritten insurance coverage at a lower overall cost.

    We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law. If an application is rejected, any premium received will be returned without interest.

    Purchasing a Policy

    To purchase a policy you must submit an application to us. On that application you will, among other things, select:

    • The amount of your total insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $50,000.00);
    • Your initial death benefit option;
    • The death benefit qualification test to apply to your policy (we may limit the amount of coverage we will issue on the life of the insured person when the cash value accumulation test is chosen); and
    • Any riders or optional benefits.

    On the date coverage under the policy begins (the “Policy Date”), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the “insured person”) generally can be no more than age 85 (70 for guaranteed issue policies). “Age” under the policy means the insured person’s age on the birthday nearest to the Policy Date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured. We may also set a minimum age to issue a policy.

    You may request that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy. Except for cash on delivery policies, we generally will not reissue a policy to change the Policy Date.

    Important Information About the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent/registered representative, consider the factors described in the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider section of this prospectus, page 45, when deciding whether to include coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

    ING VUL-CV
    23


    Premium Payments

    Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

    • We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.00;
    • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 121 (except amounts required to keep the policy from lapsing);
    • We may refuse to accept any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code;
    • We may refuse to accept any premium that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgement accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract; and
    • We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti- money laundering program. See Anti-Money Laundering, page 80.

    After we deduct the premium expense charge from your premium payments, we apply the Net Premium to your policy as described below.

    A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

    Your initial premium must be at least equal to the sum of the scheduled premium from the Policy Date through the investment date. The investment date is the date we apply the Net Premium to your policy.

    Scheduled Premium. You may select your scheduled (planned) premium (within our limits) when you apply for your policy. The scheduled premium, shown in your policy and schedule, is the amount you choose to pay over a stated time period. This amount may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You may receive premium reminder notices for the scheduled premium on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You are not required to pay the scheduled premium.

    You can change the amount of your scheduled premium within our minimum and maximum limits at any time. If you fail to pay your scheduled premium or if you change the amount of your scheduled premium, your policy performance will be affected.

    If you have an optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider, your scheduled premium should not be less than the guarantee period annual premium shown in your policy. See Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders, page 42.

    ING VUL-CV
    24


    Unscheduled Premium Payments. Generally speaking, you may make unscheduled premium payments at any time, however:

    • We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.00;
    • You cannot pay additional premiums after age 121 (except amounts required to keep the policy from lapsing);
    • We may refuse to accept or limit the amount of an unscheduled premium payment if it would result in an increase in the amount of the Base Death Benefit required by the federal income tax law definition of life insurance.
      We may require satisfactory evidence that the insured person is insurableaccording to our normal underwriting rules for the applicable risk class andrating at the time that you make the unscheduled premium payment if theBase Death Benefit is increased due to an unscheduled premiumpayment;
    • We may require satisfactory evidence that the insured person is insurable according to our normal underwriting rules for the applicable risk class and rating at the time that you make the unscheduled premium payment if an unscheduled premium payment will cause the net amount at risk to increase;
    • We will return premium payments that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract, unless you have acknowledged in writing the new modified endowment contract status for your policy; and
    • Our acceptance of an unscheduled premium payment may be subject to certain issue limitations and conditioned on the availability of reinsurance coverage.

    Satisfactory evidence of insurability may include receipt of an application and required medical information.

    Target Premium. Target premium is not based on your scheduled premium. Target premium is actuarially determined based on the age and gender of the insured person. The target premium is used to determine your premium expense charge and the sales compensation we pay. It may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You are not required to pay the target premium and there is no penalty for paying more or less. The target premium for your policy and additional Segments is listed in your policy schedule pages.

    Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. Unless you have an optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider, your coverage lasts only as long as you have a positive Net Account Value that is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges due each month. If you do not meet this requirement, your policy will enter a 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to keep your policy from lapsing. See Lapse, page 68.

    If you have an optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider, we guarantee that your policy will not lapse during the guarantee period provided your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest are at least equal to the guarantee period annual premium and your Net Account Value meets certain diversification requirements. See Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders, page 42.

    ING VUL-CV
    25


    Allocation of Net Premium. Until your initial Net Premium is allocated as described below, we hold premiums in a general suspense account. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest.

    We apply the initial Net Premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

    • We receive the required initial premium;
    • All issue requirements have been received by our Customer Service Center; and
    • We approve your policy for issue.

    Amounts you designate for the Guaranteed Interest Division will be allocated to that division on the investment date. If your state requires return of your premium if you return your policy during the free look period, we initially invest amounts you have designated for the Subaccounts of the Separate Account in the Subaccount that invests in the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio. We later transfer these amounts from this Subaccount to the available Subaccounts that you have selected based on your most recent premium allocation instructions. This transfer occurs five days after the date we mailed your policy to you plus the length of your state’s free look period.

    If your state provides for return of your Account Value if you return your policy during the free look period (or provides no free look period), we allocate amounts you designated for the Subaccounts of the Separate Account directly into those Subaccounts.

    All Net Premiums we receive after the applicable period are allocated to your policy on the Valuation Date of their receipt in good order. We will allocate Net Premiums to the available Subaccounts using your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in percentages stated to the nearest tenth and totaling 100.00% . If your most recent premium allocation instructions includes a fund that corresponds to a Subaccount that is closed to new investment (we will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a Subaccount) or is otherwise unavailable, Net Premium received that would have been allocated to the Subaccount corresponding to the closed or otherwise unavailable fund may be automatically allocated among the other available Subaccounts according to your most recent allocation instructions. If your most recent allocation instructions do not include any available funds, you must provide us with alternative allocation instructions or the premium payment will be returned to you. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting our Customer Service Center. Your failure to provide us with alternative allocation instructions before we return your premium payment(s) may result in your policy entering the 61 day grace period and/or your policy lapsing without value. See Lapse, page 68, for more information about how to keep your policy from lapsing. See also Reinstatement, page 69, for more information about how to put your policy back in force if it has lapsed.

    ING VUL-CV

    Free Look Period

    You have the right to examine your policy and return it to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period and starts on the date you receive your policy. If you request a free look refund or return your policy to us within the free look period, we cancel it as of your Policy Date.

    If you cancel your policy during the free look period, you will receive a refund as determined by state law. Generally, there are two types of free look refunds:

    • Refund of all premium we have received from you; or
    • Refund of your Account Value plus a refund of all charges deducted.

    The type of refund that applies in your state will be specified in your policy. The type of free look refund will affect when premium received before the end of the free look period is allocated to the Subaccounts. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 26.

    Temporary Insurance

    If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to the amount of insurance coverage for which you applied, up to $1,000,000.00, which includes other in-force coverage you have with us.

    Temporary insurance coverage begins when all of the following events have occurred:

    • You have completed and signed our temporary insurance coverage form;
    • We have received and accepted a premium payment of at least your scheduled premium (selected on your application); and
    • The necessary parts of the application are complete.

    Unless otherwise provided by state law, temporary insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:

    • Five days after we mail the premium refund to the address on your application;
    • Five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your application;
    • Your Policy Date;
    • The date we refuse to issue a policy based on your application; or
    • 90 days after you sign our temporary life insurance coverage form.

    There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance coverage if any of the following events occur:

    • There is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the temporary insurance coverage form;
    • There is a material misrepresentation in statements on your application;
    • The person or persons intended to be insured die by suicide or self-inflicted injury; or
    • The bank does not honor your premium check or authorized withdrawal.

    ING VUL-CV
    27


    During the period of temporary insurance coverage your premium payments are held by us in a general suspense account until underwriting is completed and the policy is issued or the temporary insurance coverage otherwise ends. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest and they are not allocated to the investment options available under the policy until a policy is issued. If a policy is not issued and temporary coverage ends, any premium received will be returned without interest. See Allocation of Net Premium, page 26.

    Fees and Charges

    We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:

    • Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits);
    • Administering the policy;
    • Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and
    • Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.

    The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payment of sales expenses.

    Transaction Fees and Charges

    We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your Account Value each time you make certain transactions.

    Premium Expense Charge. We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment we receive.

        Premium Expense 
      Premium Expense  Charge for Amounts 
      Charge for Amounts  in Excess of 
    Segment Year  up to Target Premium  Target Premium 

                 1  9.00%  6.00% 
               2 +  4.50%  3.00% 

    This charge helps offset:

    • The expenses we incur in selling the policy;
    • The costs of various state and local taxes. We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state; and
    • The cost associated with the federal income tax treatment of our deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.

    ING VUL-CV
     28


    Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is $10.00. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your Guaranteed Interest Division and Separate Account values that remain after the partial withdrawal.

    This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.

    Surrender Charge. We deduct a surrender charge during the first ten Segment years when you:

    • Surrender your policy;
    • Allow your policy to lapse;
    • Decrease your base insurance coverage; or
    • Take a partial withdrawal that decreases the amount of your base insurance coverage.

    The amount of the surrender charge depends on the amount of base insurance coverage surrendered or decreased and the surrender charge rates.

    When you purchase a policy or increase your base insurance coverage, we set surrender charge rates based on the gender and age of the insured person. Surrender charges apply for the first ten years of each Segment of base insurance coverage. Surrender charge rates generally decline beginning in the fourth Segment year and reach zero beginning in the eleventh Segment year. Each coverage Segment will have its own set of surrender charge rates which will apply only to that Segment. See Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 36. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table beginning on page 8 for the minimum and maximum surrender charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    For full surrenders, you will receive the Surrender Value of your policy. For decreases in the amount of base insurance coverage, the surrender charge will reduce your Account Value. If there are multiple Segments of base insurance coverage, the coverage decreases and surrender charges assessed will be processed on a pro rata basis.

    In the early policy years the surrender charge may exceed the Account Value because the surrender charge may be more than the cumulative premiums paid minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

    The surrender charge helps offset the expenses we incur in issuing and distributing the policy.

    ING VUL-CV
    29


    Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $25.00 for each illustration of your Account Values that you request after the first each policy year.

    This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.

    Redemption Fees. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as a result of partial withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your Account Value.

    Periodic Fees and Charges

    We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your Account Value on the Monthly Processing Date. The Monthly Processing Date is the same date each month as your Policy Date. If that date is not a Valuation Date, then the Monthly Processing Date is the next Valuation Date.

    At any time you may choose one investment option from which we will deduct your periodic fees and charges. If you do not choose the investment option or the amount in your chosen investment option is not enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, then your periodic fees and charges are taken from the Subaccounts and Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your value in each has to your Net Account Value.

    Cost of Insurance. Each month we deduct a cost of insurance charge equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each Segment of your base insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each Monthly Processing Date equals the difference between:

    • Your current Base Death Benefit, discounted to take into account one month’s interest earnings at an assumed 3.00% annual interest rate; and
    • Your Account Value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

    Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person’s age at issue and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a “Segment date”), gender, underwriting type, risk class and Segment year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes policies issued in the state of Montana and policies issued to employers or employee organizations in connection with employment related insurance or benefit programs. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table beginning on page 9 for the maximum guaranteed cost of insurance rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each Segment of your base insurance coverage. The maximum rates for the initial Segment and each new Segment of your base insurance coverage will be printed in your policy schedule pages.

    The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in your death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. The net amount at risk is affected by the same factors that affect your Account Value, namely:

    • The Net Premium applied to your policy;
    • The fees and charges we deduct;
    • Any partial withdrawals you take;
    • Interest earnings on the amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division;
    • Interest earned on amounts held in the Loan Division; and
    • The investment performance of the funds underlying the Subaccounts of the Separate Account.

    We calculate the net amount at risk separately for each Segment of your base insurance coverage. We allocate the net amount at risk to Segments of the Base Death Benefit in the same proportion that each Segment has to the total Base Death Benefit for all insurance coverage as of the Monthly Processing Date.

    There are no cost of insurance charges during the continuation of coverage period.

    The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying Death Benefit Proceeds that may be more than your Account Value.

    Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each month we may deduct from your Account Value a mortality and expense risk charge based on the amount invested in the Separate Account according to the following rates:

    Percentage of the Amount Invested in the Separate Account

      Current  Guaranteed 
      0.00%  0.025% 
        (0.30% on an annual basis) 

    This charge, if assessed, will help compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is the risk that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is the risk that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the Subaccounts of the Separate Account are greater than we estimated.

    Policy Charge. Each month we deduct a policy charge. This charge varies based on underwriting type, duration and the amount of base insurance coverage. The current policy charge each month for policies with at least $100,000.00 in base insurance coverage is as follows:

      Fully  Regular  Select 
    Policy  Underwritten  Guaranteed Issue  Guaranteed Issue 
     
    Years  Current  Current  Current 

    1-5  $30.00  $30.00  $30.00 

    6-10  $15.00  $30.00  $15.00 

    11-20  $10.00  $20.00  $15.00 

    21+  $8.00  $20.00  $15.00 


    ING VUL-CV
    31


    The guaranteed policy charge for all policies with at least $100,000.00 in base coverage and the current and guaranteed policy charge for all policies with less than $100,000.00 in base insurance coverage is $30.00 per month in all policy years.

    This charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with:

    • Processing applications;
    • Conducting medical examinations;
    • Establishing policy records; and
    • Underwriting.

    Administrative Charge. Each month we deduct an administrative charge equal to our current monthly administrative charge rates multiplied by the amount of your base insurance coverage divided by 1,000. The rates vary based on the insured person’s age, gender, underwriting type and risk class and generally decrease after the fifth and tenth Segment years. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table beginning on page 9 for the minimum and maximum administrative charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    This charge helps offset the costs we incur in administering the policy, including costs associated with:

    • Billing and collecting premiums;
    • Processing claims and policy transactions;
    • Keeping records;
    • Reporting and communicating with policy owners; and
    • Our overhead and other expenses.

    Optional Rider Fees and Charges

    There are separate transaction charges if you choose to exercise any of the automatic rider benefits that come with your policy. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table beginning on page 8 and the Automatic Rider Benefits section on page 52 for more information about the transaction charges associated with the automatic rider benefits.

    There are separate fees and charges for optional rider benefits. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10, and the Optional Rider Benefits section on page 43 for more information about the optional rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges.

    ING VUL-CV

    Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

    We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

    • Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, employees of our affiliates, our appointed sales agents and certain family members of each of these groups of individuals);
    • Corporate or business policy owners/purchasers (including sales related to a corporate or business policy owner’s election to substitute one insured person who is an employee for another); or
    • Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies.

    Any variation in fees and charges will be based on differences in costs or services and our rules in effect at the time. We may change our rules from time to time, but we will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction.

    Fund Fees and Expenses

    As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the Fund Fees and Expenses table on page 13 of this prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.

    The company or its U.S. affiliates receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the policy. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining the policy fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our policies. Fund revenue is important to the company’s profitability, and it is generally more profitable to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

    In terms of total dollar amounts received, the greatest amount of revenue generally comes from assets allocated to funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate. Assets allocated to funds managed by a company affiliate but subadvised by unaffiliated third parties generally generate the next greatest amount of revenue. Finally, assets allocated to unaffiliated funds generate the least amount of revenue. The company expects to make a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

    ING VUL-CV
    33


    Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. Affiliated funds are (a) funds managed by Directed Services LLC or other company affiliates, which funds may or may not also be subadvised by another company affiliate; and (b) funds managed by a company affiliate but that are subadvised by unaffiliated third parties.

    Revenues received by the company from affiliated funds may include:

    • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets;
    • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets;
    • For certain share classes, the company or its affiliates may also receive compensation paid out of 12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
    • Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees.

    These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fees has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company.

    Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant. Revenues received by the company from unaffiliated funds and/or their affiliates may include:

    • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
    • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the policy.

    These revenues are received as cash payments, and if the three unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the policy were individually ranked according to the total amount they paid to the company or its affiliates in 2008, that ranking would be as follows:

    • American Funds Insurance Series;
    • Fidelity® Variable Insurance Product Portfolios; and
    • Neuberger Berman AMT Portfolios® .

    The amounts received from the American Funds may be offset by amounts we pay to the American Funds for marketing assistance, education and training related to the American Funds.

    ING VUL-CV
    34


    If the revenues received from affiliated funds were included in this list, payments from Directed Services LLC and other company affiliates would be at the top of the list.

    In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may make fixed dollar payments to help expense offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to, co-branded marketing materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for sales personnel and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

    Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds.” These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated funds as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. The “fund of funds” available through the policy are identified in the list of funds available through the Separate Account on page 18.

    Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the company or its affiliates may receive a portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. See Distribution of the Policy, page 84.

    Death Benefits In the
    policy the
    amount of base
    insurance
    coverage you
    select is
    referred to as
    the “Stated
    Death Benefit”
    and the amount
    of total

    coverage is
    referred to as
    the “Target

    You decide the amount of life insurance protection
    you need, now and in the future. The amount of your base
    insurance coverage in effect on the Policy Date is your
    initial coverage Segment. Generally, we require a
    minimum of $50,000.00 of total insurance coverage to
    issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for
    certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers.  
     
    It may be to your economic advantage to include part of
    your insurance coverage under the Adjustable Term
    Insurance Rider. See Important Information About the
    Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 23.

    ING VUL-CV
    35


    Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage

    Subject to certain limitations, generally you may change the amount of your insurance coverage after the first policy year (first Monthly Processing Date for an increase). The change will be effective on the next Monthly Processing Date after we approve your written request, however changes scheduled for the future will be effective on the applicable policy anniversary.

    There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. If we approve your requested change we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we may do this for you.

    Changes in the amount of your insurance coverage must be for at least $1,000.00.

    You may request an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, subject to the following:

    • Increases after age 90 (age 75 for guaranteed issue and simplified issue policies) are not allowed; and
    • Increases are subject to underwriting approval and such approval may be conditioned on certain issue limitations and availability of reinsurance coverage.

    See also, Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 45.

    A requested increase in base insurance coverage will cause a new coverage Segment to be created. A Segment is a block of insurance coverage. Once we create a new Segment, it is permanent unless law requires differently.

    Each new Segment will have:

    • A new premium expense charge;
    • New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;
    • New administrative charges;
    • A new incontestability period;
    • A new suicide exclusion period;
    • A new target premium; and
    • A new surrender charge.

    If a death benefit option change causes the amount of base insurance coverage to increase or decrease, no new Segment is created. Instead, the size of each existing Segment is changed.

    In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage Segment we allocate the net amount at risk among the base coverage Segments in the same proportion that each Segment bears to the total amount of base insurance coverage.

    ING VUL-CV
    36


    Refusal of a scheduled increase or your request to change the amount of your insurance coverage will terminate all future scheduled increases. Certain requests to increase the amount of your insurance coverage may also cancel all future scheduled increases.

    You may decrease the amount of your insurance coverage, however, decreases below the minimum we require to issue you a policy are not allowed.

    Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

    • Surrender charges on the amount of the decrease;
    • Reduced target premium amounts; and
    • Reduced cost of insurance charges.

    Decreases in the amount of insurance coverage will first reduce the amount of your total insurance coverage. We decrease your base insurance coverage amount only after your Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage is reduced to zero. If you have more than one Segment, we divide decreases in base coverage among your coverage Segments pro rata unless the law requires differently.

    We reserve the right not to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may refuse to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgment accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 72.

    Continuation of Coverage

    The continuation of coverage feature automatically continues your insurance coverage in force beyond the policy anniversary nearest the insured person’s 121st birthday (the “continuation of coverage period”), unless prohibited by state law. If you do not surrender your policy before this date, on this date:

    • The amount of your total insurance coverage becomes your base insurance coverage amount;
    • Death Benefit Options 2 and 3 are converted to Death Benefit Option 1, if applicable;
    • All riders are terminated;
    • Your Net Account Value is transferred into the Guaranteed Interest Division and subsequent transfers into the Subaccounts are not allowed; and
    • Dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs are terminated.

    ING VUL-CV
    37


    Your insurance coverage continues in force until the death of the insured person, unless the policy lapses or is surrendered. However:

    • We accept no further premium payments (excepts amounts required to keep the policy from lapsing); and
    • We deduct no further fees and charges except transaction fees and charges, if applicable.

    Partial withdrawals and loans are allowed during the continuation of coverage period. If you have an outstanding loan, interest continues to accrue. If you fail to make sufficient loan or loan interest payments, it is possible that the outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest may become greater than your Account Value and cause your policy to lapse. To avoid lapse, you may repay the loan and loan interest during the continuation of coverage period.

    If you wish to stop coverage during the continuation of coverage period, you may surrender your policy and receive the Net Account Value. There is no surrender charge during this period. All other normal consequences of surrender apply. See Surrender, page 68.

    The continuation of coverage feature is not available in all states. If a state has approved this feature, it is automatic under your policy. In certain states the death benefit during the continuation of coverage period is the Net Account Value. Contact your agent/registered representative or our Customer Service Center to find out if this feature is available in your state and which type of death benefit applies in your state.

    The tax consequences of coverage continuing beyond the insured person’s 100th birthday are uncertain. You should consult a qualified tax adviser as to those consequences. See Continuation of a Policy, page 75.

    Death Benefit Qualification Tests

    The Death Benefit Proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test.

    When you apply for a policy you must choose either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test to make sure your policy complies with the Internal Revenue Code’s definition of “life insurance.” You cannot change this choice once the policy is issued.

    Guideline Premium Test. The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your Account Value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to Account Value. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

    ING VUL-CV
     38


    Certain changes to a policy that uses the guideline premium test may allow the payment of premium in excess of the statutory limits in order to keep the policy from lapsing. In this circumstance, any such excess premium will be allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division in order for the policy to continue to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

    Cash Value Accumulation Test. The cash value accumulation test requires a policy’s Account Value not to exceed at any time the net single premium necessary to fund the policy’s future benefits. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is generally no limit to the amount that may be paid in premiums as long as there is enough death benefit in relation to Account Value at all times. The death benefit at all times must be at least equal to an actuarially determined factor, depending on the insured person’s age and gender at any point in time, multiplied by the Account Value. A description of how the cash value accumulation test factors are determined can be found in Appendix A to this prospectus.

    Which Death Benefit Qualification Test to Choose. The guideline premium test limits the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you do not want to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations, you should consider the guideline premium test.

    The cash value accumulation test does not limit the amount of premium that may be paid into a policy. If you desire to pay premiums in excess of the guideline premium test limitations you should elect the cash value accumulation test. However, any premium that would increase the net amount at risk is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. Required increases in the death benefit due to growth in Account Value will generally be greater under the cash value accumulation test than under the guideline premium test. Required increases in the death benefit will increase the cost of insurance under the policy, thereby reducing the Account Value. We may limit the amount of coverage we will issue on the life of the insured person when the cash value accumulation test has been chosen.

    Death Benefit Options

    There are three death benefit options available under the policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy. You may change that choice after your first Monthly Processing Date and before age 121.

    Death Benefit Option 1. Under Death Benefit Option 1, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of base insurance coverage; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    Under this option your Base Death Benefit will remain level unless your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of base insurance coverage. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the Account Value varies.

    ING VUL-CV
     39


    With Death Benefit Option 1, positive investment performance generally reduces your net amount at risk, which lowers your policy’s cost of insurance charge. Option 1 also offers insurance coverage at a set amount with potentially lower cost of insurance charges over time.

    Death Benefit Option 2. Under death benefit Option 2, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of base insurance coverage plus your Account Value; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    Under this option your Base Death Benefit will vary as the Account Value varies, and investment performance will be reflected in your insurance coverage.

    Death Benefit Option 2 is not available after age 121. If Death Benefit Option 2 is in effect at age 121, it automatically converts to Death Benefit Option 1. See Continuation of Coverage, page 37.

    Death Benefit Option 3. Under Death Benefit Option 3, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of base insurance coverage plus premiums received minus partial withdrawals taken and partial withdrawal fees; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    Under this option your Base Death Benefit will vary as you pay premiums and take partial withdrawals or if your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the amount of base insurance coverage plus premiums received minus partial withdrawals taken.

    Death Benefit Option 3 is not available after age 121. If Death Benefit Option 3 is in effect at age 121, it automatically converts to Death Benefit Option 1. See Continuation of Coverage, page 37.

    Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your base insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the Account Value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose Death Benefit Option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose Death Benefit Option 2. If you require a specific death benefit that would include a return of the premium paid, Death Benefit Option 3 may best meet your needs.

    Changing Death Benefit Options. On or after the first Monthly Processing Date and before age 121 you may change death benefit options as described below. We may require evidence of insurability under our normal rules of underwriting for some death benefit option changes.

    ING VUL-CV
     40


    Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your base and total insurance coverage amounts but it will not change the amount of your Base Death Benefit or Total Death Benefit. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the total amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. The following death benefit option changes are allowed, and on the effective date of the change the amount of your base insurance coverage will change as follows:

    Change  Change   
    From:  To:  Base Insurance Coverage Following the Change: 

    Death  Death  · Your base insurance coverage before the change 
    Benefit  Benefit      minus your Account Value as of the effective 
    Option 1  Option 2      date of the change. 

    Death  Death  · Your base insurance coverage before the change 
    Benefit  Benefit      plus your Account Value as of the effective date 
    Option 2  Option 1      of the change. 

        · Your base insurance coverage before the change 
    Death  Death      plus the sum of all premium payments we have 
    Benefit  Benefit      received minus all partial withdrawals and 
    Option 3  Option 1      partial withdrawal fees you have taken as of the 
            effective date of the change. 


    Your death benefit option change is effective on your next Monthly Processing Date after we approve it.

    After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our Customer Service Center so that we can make this change for you.

    If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage Segment is created. Instead, the size of each existing Segment is changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance coverage if you have the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. See Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 45.

    We do not impose a surrender charge if a death benefit option change results in a decrease in the amount of your base insurance coverage. Additionally, we do not adjust the target premium when you change your death benefit option. See Surrender Charge, page 29.

    If your death benefit option is changed to Death Benefit Option 1 because you exercised the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider, notwithstanding any other information in this section your insurance coverage following the change will equal your Account Value immediately before the change minus the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider charge with the difference multiplied by the appropriate guideline premium test factor described in Appendix A.

    ING VUL-CV
     41


    Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before making changes.

    Death Benefit Proceeds

    After the insured person’s death, if your policy is in force we pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds from your policy. The Death Benefit Proceeds are equal to:

    • Your Total Death Benefit; plus
    • The amount of any rider benefits other than the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider; minus
    • Any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest; minus
    • Any outstanding accelerated benefit lien including accrued lien interest; minus
    • Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person’s death.

    The death benefit is calculated as of the date of the insured person’s death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.

    We will pay the Death Proceeds within seven days of when we receive due proof of the death claim. Due proof of the death claim means we have received:

    • Due proof of the Insured’s death;
    • Sufficient information to determine the amount of the Death Proceeds and the identity of the legally entitled beneficiary or beneficiaries; and
    • Sufficient evidence that any legal impediments to payment that depend on parties other than us are resolved. Such legal impediments include, but are not limited to, the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships, the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators and our receipt of information required to satisfy state and federal reporting requirements.

    We will pay interest on the Death Proceeds from the date of the Insured's death to the date of payment. Interest will be at a rate we declare, or at a higher rate required by law.

    Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders

    The following optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders may be available and provide that the policy will not lapse even if the Net Account Value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges each month:

    • 20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider; and
    • Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider.

    ING VUL-CV
    42


    If available, these optional rider benefits may be selected only when you apply for the policy. There may be a separate monthly charge for these rider guarantees. See 20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider, page 43 and Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider, page 50.

    Additional Insurance Benefits

    Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of riders:

    • Those that provide optional benefits that you must select before they are effective; and
    • Those that automatically come with the policy.

    The following information does not include all of the terms and conditions of each rider, and you should refer to the rider to fully understand its benefits and limitations. We may offer riders not listed here. Not all riders may be available under your policy. Contact your agent/registered representative for a list of riders and their availability.

    Optional Rider Benefits

    The following optional riders may have an additional cost, but each rider may be cancelled at any time. Adding or canceling riders may have tax consequences. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 72.

    20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider. The 20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider provides a guarantee that your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage will not lapse for the greater of 20 years or to age 65 provided:

  • Your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest are at least equal to the sum of the guarantee period monthly premium to the next Monthly Processing Date; and
     
  • Your Net Account Value meets one of the following diversification requirements:
     
     
  • Your Net Account Value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35.00% invested in any one investment option; or
     
     
  • At least 65.00% of your Net Account Value is allocated to one or more of the ING LifeStyle portfolios.
     

    Each month during the guarantee period we deduct a charge for this rider based on a rate that varies depending on the issue age of the insured person. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10. The amount of this charge will be determined by dividing the amount of guaranteed coverage by 1,000 and multiplying the result by the rate set forth in your policy. The amount of guaranteed coverage equals the amount of your total insurance coverage minus your Account Value.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the 20-Year/Age 65 Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider to your policy:

    • This rider is available for issue ages 25-75;
    • You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy and the guarantee period begins on the Policy Date;
    • The guarantee period annual premium required to keep this rider in effect will be set forth in your policy and will be based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s gender, risk class, age, underwriting type and death benefit option selected;
    • If your policy benefits change, the guarantee period annual premium for this rider will also change;
    • Transfers between investment options that are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers that we may impose (see Transfers, page 60);
    • This rider covers only your base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, if any. If your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are kept in force because of the guarantee under this rider, coverage under all other riders may terminate;
    • This rider may not be available for certain risk classes or underwriting types;
    • This rider cannot be added to a policy with Death Benefit Option 3 or the Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider;
    • You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;
    • A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your outstanding loan amount including accrued interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and
    • Even if this rider terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 68).

    We will notify you if on any Monthly Processing Date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force or your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider benefit and, if applicable, explain the diversification requirement. If we do not receive the required premium payment or you do not adequately diversify your policy within 61 days from the date of our notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

    Additional Insured Rider. This rider provides death benefits upon the death of an insured person’s spouse or child (or the partner or child if required by the civil union/domestic partnership laws of the state in which your policy is delivered). The additional insured person under this rider can be no older than age 85. You may add up to five Additional Insured Riders to your policy. We require proof of insurability for each additional insured person. Minimum coverage for each additional insured person is $10,000.00 for ages 0 to 14 and $50,000.00 for ages 15 and older. Maximum coverage for all additional insured persons is five times your base insurance coverage. There is no defined premium for a given amount of Additional Insured Rider coverage. Instead, we deduct a separate monthly cost of insurance charge from your Account Value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate for the rider coverage(s) multiplied by the Additional Insured Rider death benefit(s) in effect as of the Monthly Processing Date. The cost of insurance rates are determined by us from time to time. They are based on the issue age(s), gender(s) and risk class(es) of the additional insured person(s), as well as the length of time since the rider was added to your policy. Rates for this rider will not exceed the levels in the 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct, Smoker Distinct Mortality Table. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative additional insured person.

    Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. You may increase   
    the amount of your total insurance coverage under the  In the policy 
    policy by adding coverage under the Adjustable Term  “base insurance

    Adjustable Term Insurance Rider.    

    On the date coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider begins (the “rider effective date”) the insured person generally can be no more than age 85 (70 for guaranteed issue policies). You specify your amount of total insurance coverage when you apply for this rider. The amount of total insurance coverage can be level for the life of your policy or can be scheduled to change at the beginning of selected policy years. If you schedule increases in your total insurance coverage, each increase must occur within five years of the rider effective date or the most recent previous increase. Scheduled increases generally must occur before age 85 (70 for guaranteed issue policies).

    ING VUL-CV

    The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider benefit is the difference between the amount of your Total Death Benefit and your Base Death Benefit, but not less than zero. The rider’s benefit automatically adjusts daily as the amount of your Base Death Benefit changes. Your Death Benefit Proceeds depend on which death benefit option is in effect.

    Under Death Benefit Option 1, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of your total insurance coverage; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    Under Death Benefit Option 2, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of your total insurance coverage plus your Account Value; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    Under Death Benefit Option 3, the Total Death Benefit is the greater of:

    • The amount of your total insurance coverage plus the sum of the premium payments we have received minus partial withdrawals you have taken and partial withdrawal fees; or
    • Your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A.

    For example, under Death Benefit Option 1, assume your Base Death Benefit changes as a result of a change in your Account Value. The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider adjusts to provide Death Benefit Proceeds equal to your Total Death Benefit in each year:

      Total  Adjustable Term 
    Base Death Benefit  Insurance Coverage  Insurance Benefit 
    $201,500.00  $250,000.00  $48,500.00 
    $202,500.00  $250,000.00  $47,500.00 
    $202,250.00  $250,000.00  $47,750.00 

    It is possible that the amount of your adjustable term insurance benefit may be zero if your Base Death Benefit increases enough. Using the same example, if the Base Death Benefit under your policy grew to $250,000.00 or more, the adjustable term insurance benefit would be zero.

    Even when the adjustable term insurance benefit is reduced to zero, your rider remains in effect until you remove it from your policy. Therefore, if the Base Death Benefit later drops below the amount of your total insurance coverage, the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage reappears to maintain the amount of your total insurance coverage.

    ING VUL-CV

    Subject to the requirements outlined in the Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage section on page 36, once each policy year you may change the amount of your Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage (and thereby your total insurance coverage) provided:

    • The minimum incremental increase in rider coverage generally must be at least 2.00% of your initial total insurance coverage;
    • The maximum incremental increase in rider coverage may not exceed the lesser of 25.00% of the amount of your initial total insurance coverage or 200.00% of the most recent increase in rider coverage; and
    • All increases in rider coverage, in total, may not exceed the lesser of four times the amount of your initial base insurance coverage or $20,000,000.00.

    There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change in your Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage.

    In certain circumstances we may choose to waive one or more of the issue requirements for and/or limitations on changes in Adjustable Term Insurance Rider Coverage, including those in which the policy is issued in relation to certain deferred compensation arrangements and other company approved advanced sales concepts. We will not unfairly discriminate in any such waiver.

    Unless you request and we approve a new schedule of changes in the amount of your total insurance coverage, any request to change the amount of your total insurance coverage will automatically terminate all changes that were previously scheduled and after the change the amount of your total insurance coverage will remain level and be equal to the amount in effect immediately following the change.

    Partial withdrawals, changes from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2, and decreases in the amount of your base insurance coverage may reduce the amount of your total insurance coverage. See Partial Withdrawals, page 66; and Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage, page 36.

    There is no defined premium for a given amount of adjustable term insurance benefit. Instead, we deduct separate monthly cost of insurance and administrative charges from your Account Value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate for the rider benefit multiplied by the amount of adjustable term insurance benefit in effect at the Monthly Processing Date. The cost of insurance rates are determined by us from time to time. They are based on the issue age, gender, underwriting type and risk class of the insured person, as well as the length of time since your rider effective date. a general rule, the current cost of insurance rates for a rider based on simplified issue or guaranteed issue underwriting are higher than those for a rider which is fully underwritten. This means that a healthy individual could pay higher cost of insurance rates for this rider than they would pay for a substantially similar rider if they use simplified issue or guaranteed issue underwriting methods. See Underwriting, page 22.

    ING VUL-CV
    47


    Each month we deduct an administrative charge for this rider equal to our current monthly administrative charge rates multiplied by the difference between the amount of your total insurance coverage and your base insurance coverage divided by 1,000. The rates vary based on the insured person’s gender, underwriting type and risk class and generally decrease after the fifth and tenth Segment years. The rates that apply to you will be set forth in your policy. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10 for the minimum and maximum administrative charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    The total charges that you pay may be more or less if you have some coverage under an Adjustable Term Insurance Rider rather than just base insurance coverage. There are no premium expense charges or surrender charges for this coverage.

    If you increase the total insurance coverage after the rider effective date, we use the same cost of insurance rate schedule for the entire coverage for this rider. These rates are based on the original risk class even though satisfactory new evidence of insurability is required for the increase. Although the maximum cost of insurance rates for this rider are greater than the maximum cost of insurance rates for the base insurance coverage, the current rates for this rider are generally lower than current cost of insurance rates for the base insurance coverage. See Cost of Insurance, page 30.

    Not all policy features may apply to the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. The rider does not contribute to the Account Value or to the Surrender Value. It does not affect investment performance and cannot be used for a loan. The Adjustable Term Insurance Rider provides benefits only at the insured person’s death.

    This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

    • The expiration date of the policy grace period;
    • The date the policy is terminated or surrendered;
    • The next Monthly Processing Date after we receive your written notice to cancel the rider; or
    • The policy anniversary nearest the insured’s 121st birthday.

    Important Information About the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent/registered representative, consider the following when deciding whether to include coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy:

  • Cost of Insurance and Other Fees and Charges. The cost of insurance rates and other fees and charges affect the value of your policy. The lower the cost of insurance and other fees and charges, the greater the Account Value. Accordingly, please be aware that:
     
     
  • The current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are generally less than the current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy;
     
     
  • The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are generally more than the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy; and
     
     
  • Some policy fees and charges that apply to coverage under the base policy may not apply to coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider.
     
  • Features and Benefits. Certain features and benefits are limited or unavailable if you have Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage.
     
  • Compensation. We generally pay more compensation to your agent/registered representative on premiums paid for coverage under the base policy than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. See Distribution of the Policy, page 84.
     

    With these factors in mind, you should discuss with your agent/registered representative how the use of the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider will affect the costs, benefits, features and performance of your policy. You should also review illustrations based on different combinations of base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage so that you can decide what combination best meets your needs. The foregoing discussion does not contain all of the terms and conditions or limitations of coverage under the policy or the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, and you should read them carefully to fully understand their benefits and limitations.

    Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider. The Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider provides a guarantee that at the end of the guarantee period your Account Value will not be less than the minimum accumulation value, provided:

    • Your Net Account Value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35.00% invested in any one investment option; or
    • At least 65.00% of your Net Account Value is allocated to one or more of the ING LifeStyle portfolios.

    The guarantee period is 20 years from the Policy Date. The guaranteed minimum accumulation value is equal to the sum of all premium payments we have received minus all partial withdrawals you have taken and all fees and charges we have deducted from your Account Value (or that may have been waived under the provisions of your policy or another rider), accrued at an annual interest rate that may vary by policy year. That rate is currently 3.00% for all policy years.

    ING VUL-CV
    49


    At the end of the guarantee period we will compare your Account Value with the minimum accumulation value. If the Account Value is greater, then there will be no adjustment to your Account Value and this rider will terminate. If the minimum accumulation value is greater, then we will increase your Account Value by allocating an amount equal to the difference between the Account Value and the minimum accumulation value among the various investment options in which your Account Value is allocated, on a pro rata basis taking into account any outstanding Loan Division Value.

    Each month during the guarantee period we deduct a charge for this rider. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10. The amount of this charge will be determined by multiplying minimum accumulation value by the amount shown in your policy. The current and maximum guaranteed amount of this charge is 0.09583% on a monthly basis (1.15% on an annual basis).

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider to your policy:

    • You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy;
    • There is currently only one guarantee period available: 20 years;
    • The guarantee period is measured from the Policy Date;
    • Transfers between investment options that are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers that we may impose (see Transfers, page 60);
    • This rider may not be available for certain risk classes;
    • You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us; and
    • If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

    We will notify you if on any Monthly Processing Date your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will explain the diversification requirement. If you do not sufficiently diversify your policy within 61 days from the Monthly Processing Date on which your policy was not sufficiently diversified, this rider will terminate.

    Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider. The Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider provides a guarantee that your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider will not lapse during your lifetime provided:

  • Your cumulative premium payments minus any partial withdrawals and any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest are at least equal to the sum of the guarantee period monthly premium to the next Monthly Processing Date; and
     
  • Your Net Account Value meets one of the following diversification requirements:
     
     
  • Your Net Account Value is allocated to at least five investment options with no more than 35.00% invested in any one investment option; or
     
     
  • At least 65.00% of your Net Account Value is allocated to one or more of the ING LifeStyle portfolios.
     

    ING VUL-CV
    50


    Each month during the guarantee period we deduct a charge for this rider based on a rate that varies depending on the issue age of the insured person. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10. The amount of this charge will be determined by dividing the amount of guaranteed coverage by 1,000 and multiplying the result by the rate set forth in your policy. The amount of guaranteed coverage equals the amount of your total insurance coverage minus your Account Value.

    You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Lifetime Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider to your policy:

    • This rider is available for issue ages 25-75;
    • You may add this rider only when you apply for the base policy and the lifetime death benefit guarantee period begins on the Policy Date;
    • The guarantee period annual premium required to keep this rider in effect will be set forth in your policy and will be based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s gender, risk class, age, underwriting type and death benefit option selected;
    • If your policy benefits change, the guarantee period annual premium for this rider will also change;
    • Transfers between investment options that are made in response to our notice to you that your policy is not sufficiently diversified will not count as transfers for purposes of any limits or restrictions on transfers that we may impose (see Transfers, page 60);
    • This rider covers only your base policy and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, if any. If your policy and any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider are kept in force because of this rider, coverage under all other riders may terminate;
    • This rider may not be available for certain risk classes or underwriting types;
    • This rider cannot be added to a policy with Death Benefit Option 3 or the 20- year Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider;
    • You may terminate this rider at any time during the guarantee period upon written notice to us;
    • A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and
    • Even if this rider terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 68).

    ING VUL-CV
    51


    We will notify you if on any Monthly Processing Date you have not paid enough premium to keep this rider in force or your policy is not sufficiently diversified. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this rider guarantee and, if applicable, explain the diversification requirement. If we do not receive the required premium payment or you do not adequately diversify your policy by the second Monthly Processing Date following the notice, this rider will terminate. If this rider terminates, it cannot be reinstated.

    Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that we waive the periodic fees and charges and rider charges during the disability period. The insured person must be no less than age 10 and no more than age 55. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person. The cost of this rider is included as part of the monthly cost of insurance charge.

    If you add this rider to your policy, you may not add the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. This rider is not available if your policy is issued based on guaranteed issue underwriting.

    Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. If the insured person becomes totally disabled while your policy is in force, this rider provides that after a waiting period, we credit a specified premium amount monthly to your policy during the disability period. Subject to our underwriting, you specify this amount on the application for the policy. The insured person must be no less than age 10 and no more than age 55. The minimum coverage under this rider is $25.00 per month. See the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 10 for the minimum rates, maximum rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

    A policy may contain either the Waiver of Cost of Insurance Rider or the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider, but not both.

    Automatic Rider Benefits

    The following rider benefits may come with your policy automatically.

    Accelerated Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the Accelerated Benefit Rider allows you to accelerate payment of a portion of the eligible death benefit that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person’s death.

    ING VUL-CV
    52


    Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has one or more of the following:

  • A non-correctable illness or physical condition that, with a reasonable degree of medical certainty, will result in the death of the insured person in less than 12 months from the date of receipt of certification by a physician;
     
  • A medical condition that has required or requires extraordinary medical intervention without which the insured person would die. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to:
     
     
  • A major organ transplant; and
     
     
  • Continuous artificial life support.
     
  • A medical condition that usually requires continuous confinement in an eligible institution and in which the insured person is expected to remain for the rest of his or her life; or
     
  • A medical condition that would, in the absence of extensive or extraordinary medical treatment, result in a drastically limited life span.
     
      Such conditions may include, but are not limited to:
     
     
  • Coronary artery disease resulting in an acute infarction or requiring surgery;
     
     
  • Permanent neurological deficit resulting from cerebral vascular accident; or
     
     
  • End stage renal failure.
     

    Before we will pay an accelerated benefit under this rider we will require certification by a licensed physician that the insured person meets one or more of these conditions.

    The maximum accelerated benefit available under this rider is the lesser of 50.00% of the eligible death benefit that would be payable at the death of the insured person or $1,000,000.00. The minimum available accelerated benefit is $10,000.00.

    Consider the following when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

    • Only one accelerated benefit may be paid per policy to which this rider is attached;
    • We assess an administrative charge of up to $300.00 when we pay the accelerated benefit (see Transaction Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 8);
    • The accelerated benefit will first be used to repay any outstanding policy loans and accrued but unpaid loan interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit (less the administrative charge) will be paid to you;
    • Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy nor the cost of insurance or other charges due under the policy;

    ING VUL-CV
    53


  • The accelerated benefit requested plus any amounts we pay to keep the policy in force plus interest as described below will be a lien against the policy and any additional term insurance rider benefits that are part of the eligible death benefit. When there is a lien against your policy:
     
     
  • The amount payable at the death of the insured under your policy and any additional term insurance rider benefits that are part of the eligible death benefit will be reduced by the amount of the lien;
     
     
  • Your access to the value of your policy, if any, through surrender, withdrawal, or loan will be limited to the excess of the value of your policy over the amount of the lien;
     
     
  • You may not make any changes to your policy that would reduce the proceeds payable at death without written permission from us. We reserve the right to require you to repay all or part of the lien before you make any changes to your policy;
     
     
  • Any premiums or other payments required under the terms of the policy will continue to be due and payable and will be based upon the pre- accelerated benefit amount;
     
     
  • Any payments required to keep the policy in force (not including scheduled premiums, minimum monthly premiums, or any other amount the payment of which will insure that the policy will not lapse notwithstanding the fact that the policy’s Net Account Value is zero or less) that are not paid by you will be paid by us, and the amount of any such payments will be added to the amount of the lien; and
     
     
  • Interest on the amount of the lien accrues daily and is added to the amount of the lien. The maximum interest rate used will not be more than the greater of the current yield on 90 day treasury bills or the current maximum statutory adjustable policy loan interest rate.
     
  • There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser for further information. See Accelerated Benefit Rider, page 75.
     

    Certain conditions, limitations, and restrictions on your receipt of an accelerated benefit payment under this rider are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

    Overloan Lapse Protection Rider. The Overloan Lapse Protection Rider is a benefit which guarantees that your policy will not lapse even if your Surrender Value or Net Account Value, as applicable, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due. This rider may help you keep your policy in force and avoid tax consequences resulting from your policy lapsing with a loan outstanding. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 72.

    ING VUL-CV
     54


    You may exercise this rider by written request if all of the following conditions are met:

    • You elected to have your policy meet the requirements of the guideline premium test (see Death Benefit Qualification Tests, page 38);
    • At least 15 years have elapsed since your Policy Date;
    • You are at least age 75;
    • Your outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest is equal to or greater than the amount of your base insurance coverage (or total insurance coverage, if greater);
    • Your outstanding loan amount excluding any unearned loan interest does not exceed your Account Value less the transaction charge for this rider (see Loan Division Value, page 58; see also Loan Interest, page 59);
    • Exercise of this rider does not cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code (see Modified Endowment Contracts, page 72); and
    • Exercise of this rider does not cause your policy to violate the statutory premium limits allowed under the guideline premium test (see Guideline Premium Test, page 38).

    We will notify you if you meet all of these conditions and explain the consequences of choosing to exercise this rider.

    You should consider the following consequences when deciding whether to exercise the Overloan Lapse Protection Rider:

  • On the Monthly Processing Date on or next following the date we receive your request to exercise this rider:
     
     
  • We will assess a one time transaction charge. This charge equals 3.50% of your Account Value (see Transaction Fees and Charges table, beginning on page 8);
     
     
  • If another death benefit option is in effect, the death benefit option will automatically be changed to Death Benefit Option 1 (see Death Benefit Options, page 39);
     
     
  • The amount of insurance coverage after exercise of this rider will equal your Account Value (less the transaction charge) multiplied by the appropriate guideline premium test factor described in Appendix A;
     
     
  • Amounts allocated to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account will be transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Division; and
     
     
  • All other benefit riders will be terminated.
     
  • Insurance coverage under your policy will continue in force, subject to the following limitations and restrictions:
     
     
  • We will continue to deduct monthly periodic fees and charges (other than the Mortality and Expense Risk charge which will no longer apply);
     
     
  • You may not make any further premium payments;
     
     
  • Any unpaid loan interest will be added to your Loan Division Value;
     
     
  • You may not make any future transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Division to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account;
     
     
  • You may not add any additional benefits by rider in the future; and
     
     
  • You may not increase or decrease the amount of insurance coverage, change the death benefit option or make any partial withdrawals.

    This rider may not be available in all states. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state.

    Account Value

    Your Account Value equals the sum of your Guaranteed Interest Division, Separate Account and Loan Division values. Your Account Value reflects:

    • The Net Premium applied to your policy;
    • Any rider benefits applied to your policy;
    • The fees and charges that we deduct;
    • Any partial withdrawals you take;
    • Interest earned on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division;
    • The investment performance of the funds underlying the Subaccounts of the Separate Account; and
    • Interest earned on amounts held in the Loan Division.

    Guaranteed Interest Division Value

    Your Guaranteed Interest Division value equals the Net Premium you allocate to the Guaranteed Interest Division, plus any rider benefits allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your Account Value. See The Guaranteed Interest Division, page 21.

    Separate Account Value

    Your Separate Account Value equals your Account Value attributable to amounts invested in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account.

    Determining Values in the Subaccounts. The value of the amount invested in each Subaccount is measured by Accumulation Units and Accumulation Unit Values. The value of each Subaccount is the Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount multiplied by the number of Accumulation Units you own in that Subaccount. Each Subaccount has a different Accumulation Unit Value.

    The Accumulation Unit Value is the value determined on each Valuation Date. The Accumulation Unit Value of each Subaccount varies with the investment performance of its underlying fund. It reflects:

    • Investment income;
    • Realized and unrealized gains and losses;
    • Fund expenses (including fund redemption fees, if applicable); and
    • Taxes, if any.

    A Valuation Date is a date on which a fund values its shares and the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each Valuation Date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We reserve the right to revise the definition of Valuation Date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

    You purchase Accumulation Units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a Subaccount (including transfers from the Loan Division) and when rider benefits are allocated to a Subaccount.

    We redeem Accumulation Units:

    • When amounts are transferred from a Subaccount (including transfers to the Loan Division);
    • For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your Account Value;
    • For policy transaction fees (including fund redemption fees, if any);
    • When you take a partial withdrawal;
    • If you surrender your policy; and
    • To pay the Death Benefit Proceeds.

    To calculate the number of Accumulation Units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the Accumulation Unit Value for the Subaccount calculated at the close of business on the Valuation Date of the transaction.

    The date of a transaction is the date we receive your premium or transaction request at our Customer Service Center in good order, so long as the date of receipt is a Valuation Date. We use the Accumulation Unit Value that is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of Accumulation Units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.

    We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your Account Value on the Monthly Processing Date. If your Monthly Processing Date is not a Valuation Date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next Valuation Date.

    The value of amounts allocated to the Subaccounts goes up or down depending on investment performance of the corresponding funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account.

    How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount on each Valuation Date.

    We generally set the Accumulation Unit Value for a Subaccount at $10.00 when the Subaccount is first opened. After that, the Accumulation Unit Value on any Valuation Date is:

    • The Accumulation Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date; multiplied by
    • The Subaccount’s accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.

    Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a Valuation Date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next Valuation Date. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation period as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

    ING VUL-CV
    57


    We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each Subaccount every Valuation Date as follows:

    • We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that Valuation Date;
    • We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period;
    • We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and
    • We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous Valuation Date.

    Loan Division Value

    When you take a loan from your policy we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the Loan Division as collateral for your loan. The Loan Division is part of our general account and we credit interest to the amount held in the Loan Division. Your Loan Division Value on any Valuation Date is equal to:

    • The Loan Division Value on the prior Valuation Date; plus
    • Any loan interest credited to the Loan Division during the valuation period; plus
    • The amount of any new loan taken during the valuation period; minus
    • Any loan repayments, including the repayment of loan interest; plus
    • The amount of accrued and unpaid loan interest if the Valuation Date is a policy anniversary; minus
    • The amount of loan interest credited to the Loan Division during the prior policy year if the Valuation Date is a policy anniversary. See Loans, page 58.

    Special Features and Benefits

    Loans

    You may borrow money from us at any time after the first policy month, by using your policy as collateral for the loan. Unless state law requires otherwise, a new loan amount must be at least $100.00 and the maximum amount you may borrow is limited to the Surrender Value of your policy minus the monthly periodic fees and charges to your next policy anniversary or the monthly periodic fees and charges for the next thirteen months if you take a loan within thirty days before your next policy anniversary.

    Your loan request must be directed to our Customer Service Center. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan collateral will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan collateral will be taken proportionately from each investment option in which your Net Account Value is allocated, including the Guaranteed Interest Division.

    If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

    ING VUL-CV
     58


    Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the Loan Division with interest at an annual rate of 3.00% . Interest that we credit to the Loan Division becomes part of your Loan Division Value until the next policy anniversary when it is transferred to the investment options according to your most recent allocation instructions.

    We also charge interest on loans you take. The annual interest rate charged is 3.75% in policy years one through five and currently 3.00% in all years thereafter (guaranteed not to exceed 3.15%) . Loans with this reduced interest rate are called preferred loans. Interest accrues daily but is due in arrears on each policy anniversary. If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your outstanding loan amount.

    Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time. We assume that payments you make, other than scheduled premium payments, are loan repayments. You must tell us if you want unscheduled payments to be premium payments.

    When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment from the Loan Division to the Subaccounts and Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.

    Effects of a Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will affect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a loan:

    • If you do not make loan repayments your policy could lapse if your outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest is greater than your Account Value, less any surrender charges;
    • A loan may cause the termination of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders because we deduct your outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the Guaranteed Death Benefit Riders in effect;
    • Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the Subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the Guaranteed Interest Division;
    • Accruing loan interest will change your Account Value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;
    • Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your Account Value;
    • If you use the continuation of coverage feature and you have a loan, loan interest continues to accrue and could cause your policy to lapse;
    • If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest from amounts payable under the policy; and
    • Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 72.

    ING VUL-CV
     59


    Transfers

    You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your Separate Account Value between the Subaccounts and to the Guaranteed Interest Division. Transfers are subject to any conditions, limits or charges (including redemption fees) that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

    • If your state requires a refund of premium during the free look period, you may not make transfers until after your free look period ends;
    • The minimum amount you may transfer is $100.00;
    • If the amount remaining in the investment option after a transfer will be less than $100.00, we will transfer the entire amount; and
    • We may limit the number of transfers or restrict or refuse transfers because of frequent or disruptive transfers, as described below.

    Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers between the Subaccounts or to the Guaranteed Interest Division will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on policy owners or third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services, who violate our excessive trading policy. See Limits on Frequent and Disruptive Transfers, page 62.

    One transfer from the Guaranteed Interest Division to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account may be made only within 30 days after each policy anniversary. This transfer is limited to the greater of:

    • 25.00% of your Guaranteed Interest Division value at the time of the first such transfer;
    • The sum of the amounts transferred and partially withdrawn from the Guaranteed Interest Division during the prior policy year; or
    • $100.00.

    We reserve the right to liberalize these restrictions on transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Division, depending on market conditions. Any such liberalization will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different restrictions on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

    We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the Valuation Date we receive your request in good order, except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

    Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime you have at least $10,000.00 invested in a Subaccount that invests in the ING Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio or the ING Liquid Assets Portfolio (the “source Subaccount”), you may elect dollar cost averaging. There is no charge for this feature.

    ING VUL-CV
    60


    Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount or percentage of Subaccount value from the source Subaccount to one or more of the other Subaccounts. We do not permit transfers to the Guaranteed Interest Division or the Loan Division under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

    This systematic plan of transferring Account Values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund’s shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund’s shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the Subaccounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

    You may add dollar cost averaging to your policy at any time. The first dollar cost averaging date must be at least one day after we receive your dollar cost averaging request. If your state requires a refund of all premium received during the free look period, dollar cost averaging begins after the end of your free look period.

    You may have both dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing at the same time. However, your dollar cost averaging source Subaccount cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program.

    Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

    You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate on:

    • The date you specify;
    • The date your balance in the source Subaccount reaches a dollar amount you set;
    • The date your balance in the source Subaccount is equal to or less than the amount to be transferred. In this situation we will transfer the entire balance of the source Subaccount to the other Subaccounts you have selected; or
    • Any date when dollar cost averaging transfers are scheduled and the policy is in the grace period.

    Automatic Rebalancing. Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your Separate Account and Guaranteed Interest Division values among your chosen investment options. There is no charge for this feature.

    If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

    ING VUL-CV
    61


    Automatic rebalancing may occur on the same day of the month on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. If you do not specify a frequency, automatic rebalancing will occur quarterly.

    The first transfer occurs on the date you select (after your free look period if your state requires return of premium during the free look period). If you do not request a date, processing is on the last Valuation Date of the calendar quarter in which we receive your request in good order.

    You may have both automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging at the same time. However, the source Subaccount for your dollar cost averaging program cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program. You may not include the Loan Division.

    Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

    You may change your allocation percentages for automatic rebalancing at any time. Your allocation change is effective on the Valuation Date that we receive it in good order at our Customer Service Center. If you reduce the amount allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division, it is considered a transfer from that account. You must meet the requirements for the maximum transfer amount and time limitations on transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Division.

    If you have a death benefit guarantee and you ask for an automatic rebalancing allocation that does not meet the death benefit guarantee diversification requirements, we will notify you and ask you for revised instructions. If you have a death benefit guarantee and you terminate automatic rebalancing, you still must meet the diversification requirements for the guarantee period to continue. See Death Benefit Guarantee Riders, page 42.

    You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and automatic rebalancing will automatically terminate if the policy is in the grace period on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled.

    Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

    The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

    • Increased trading and transaction costs;
    • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
    • Lost opportunity costs; and
    • Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.

    ING VUL-CV
    62


    This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the policy.

    Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the ING family of companies that provide multi-fund variable insurance and retirement products have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

    We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and reallocation activity:

    • Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
    • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.

    We currently define Excessive Trading as:

    • More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of Excessive Trading; or
    • Six round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period.

    The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

    • Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, partial withdrawals and loans);
    • Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;
    • Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000.00 or less;
    • Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
    • Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of companies or a fund.

    ING VUL-CV
    63


    If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip involving the same fund, we will send them a letter warning that another sale of that same fund within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit (VRU), telephone calls to the ING Customer Service Center or other electronic trading medium that we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of any warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or the investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity.

    If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those that involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.

    Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

    ING VUL-CV
    64


    We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

    Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

    We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of policy owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all policy owners or, as applicable, to all policy owners investing in the underlying fund.

    Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

    Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a Subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the fund.

    Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the policy. Policy owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the company is required to share information regarding policy owner transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about policy owner transactions, this information may include personal policy owner information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

    ING VUL-CV
    65


    As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a policy owner’s transactions if the fund determines that the policy owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or Account Value to the fund or all funds within the fund family.

    Conversion to a Guaranteed Policy

    During the first two policy years you may permanently convert your policy to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new guaranteed policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account to the Guaranteed Interest Division and allocate all future Net Premium to the Guaranteed Interest Division. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account. We do not charge for this change. Contact our Customer Service Center or your agent/registered representative for information about the conversion rights available in your state.

    Partial Withdrawals

    Beginning in the second policy year (or the first policy year for “in corridor” policies) you may withdraw part of your policy’s Surrender Value. Twelve partial withdrawals are currently allowed each policy year, and a partial withdrawal must be at least $100.00. The maximum partial withdrawal you may take is the amount which leaves $500.00 as your Surrender Value (or for in corridor policies during the first policy year, the amount that would cause your policy to no longer qualify as “in corridor”). If your partial withdrawal request is for more than the maximum, we will require you to surrender your policy or reduce the amount of the partial withdrawal.

    A policy is “in corridor” if:

    • Under Death Benefit Option 1, your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than the amount of your base insurance coverage;
    • Under Death Benefit Option 2, your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your base insurance coverage plus your Account Value; or
    • Under Death Benefit Option 3, your Account Value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A is greater than your base insurance coverage plus the sum of your premium payments minus partial withdrawals.

    We charge a partial withdrawal fee of $10.00 for each partial withdrawal. See Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 29.

    ING VUL-CV
     66


    Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the Guaranteed Interest Division and the Subaccounts of the Separate Account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your Net Account Value immediately before the partial withdrawal. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request. However, amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Interest Division may not exceed the amount of the total partial withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of your Guaranteed Interest Division Value to your Net Account Value immediately before the partial withdrawal.

    Unless you request otherwise, proceeds from a partial withdrawal generally will be paid into an interest bearing account that you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 80.

    Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce your Account Value by the amount of the partial withdrawal plus the partial withdrawal fee. Your Account Value may also be reduced by the amount of a surrender charge if you take a partial withdrawal which decreases your base insurance coverage.

    A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the death benefit guarantee because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the death benefit guarantee.

    The amount of your base insurance coverage is not reduced by the amount of a partial withdrawal when the Base Death Benefit has been increased to qualify your policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code and the amount withdrawn is not greater than that which reduces your Account Value to the level which no longer requires that the Base Death Benefit be increased for Internal Revenue Code purposes. Otherwise, depending upon the death benefit option in effect, a partial withdrawal may reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage.

    Under Death Benefit Option 1, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage by the amount of the partial withdrawal.

    Under Death Benefit Option 2, a partial withdrawal will not reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage.

    Under Death Benefit Option 3, a partial withdrawal will reduce the amount of your base insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal in excess of the total premium we have received from you minus the sum of all your prior partial withdrawals.

    If a partial withdrawal reduces the amount of base insurance coverage, the total amount of insurance coverage will also be reduced for the current year and all future years by an equal amount. Therefore, a partial withdrawal can affect the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy.

    We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of base insurance coverage after the partial withdrawal would be less than $50,000.00.

    ING VUL-CV
    67


    A reduction in the amount of base insurance coverage as a result of a partial withdrawal will be pro-rated among the existing coverage Segments, unless state law requires otherwise.

    A partial withdrawal may have adverse tax consequences depending on the circumstances. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 71.

    Termination of Coverage

    Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.

    Surrender

    You may surrender your policy for its Surrender Value at any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your Surrender Value is your Account Value minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest.

    You may take your Surrender Value in other than one payment.

    We compute your Surrender Value as of the Valuation Date we receive your written surrender request in good order and policy at our Customer Service Center. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive your surrender request and policy.

    Unless you request otherwise, we will deposit your Surrender Value into an interest bearing account that you can access, without penalty, through a checkbook feature. See Transaction Processing, page 80.

    If you surrender your policy we may deduct a surrender charge. See Surrender Charge, page 29. Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences.

    See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 72.

    Lapse

    Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any Monthly Processing Date:

    • A death benefit guarantee is in effect;
    • Your Net Account Value is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due; or
    • During the continuation of coverage period, your Account Value exceeds your outstanding loan amount including accrued but unpaid loan interest.

    Grace Period. If on a Monthly Processing Date you do not meet any of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

    ING VUL-CV
     68


    We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (and a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges, and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments, and then we deduct the overdue amounts from your Account Value.

    If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining Separate Account and Guaranteed Interest Division values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

    If the insured person dies during the grace period we pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your outstanding loan amount, accrued but unpaid loan interest and periodic fees and charges owed.

    During the early policy years your Net Account Value may not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month, and you may need to pay sufficient premium to keep the death benefit guarantee in force. See Premium Payments, page 24.

    If your policy lapses, any distribution of Account Value may be subject to current taxation. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 72.

    Reinstatement

    Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy and its riders (other than a Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider or the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Rider) by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed and before the insured person reaches age 121. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

    To reinstate the policy and available riders, you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force during the grace period and for at least two months after reinstatement. When we reinstate your policy, we reinstate the surrender charges for the amount and time remaining as if your coverage had not lapsed. If you had a loan existing when coverage lapsed, unless directed otherwise we will reinstate it with accrued but unpaid loan interest to the date of lapse.

    When a policy is reinstated, unless otherwise directed by you we will allocate the Net Premium received to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division according to the premium allocation instructions in effect at the start of the grace period. Your Account Value on the reinstatement date will equal:

    • The Account Value at the end of the grace period; plus
    • The Net Premium paid on reinstatement; minus
    • Any unpaid fees and charges through the end of the grace period.

    ING VUL-CV
    69


    A policy that lapses and is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether reinstating a lapsed policy will cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 72.

    TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications, state and local taxes or other tax situations. We have written this discussion to support the promotion and marketing of our products and we do not intend it as tax advice. This summary is not intended to and cannot be used to avoid any tax penalties that may be imposed upon you. Counsel or other qualified tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).

    The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

    Tax Status of the Company

    We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Separate Account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the company. We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the Separate Account to increase reserves under the policy. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to us. In addition, any foreign tax credits or deductions attributable to the Separate Account will first be used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the Separate Account before being used by the company.

    In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Separate Account and we do not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. However, if changes in the federal tax laws or their interpretation result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the Separate Account, then we may impose a charge against the Separate Account (with respect to some or all of the policies) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes.

    Tax Status of the Policy

    This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner that is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements that are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of either the cash value accumulation test or the guideline premium test. See Death Benefit Qualification Tests, page 38. If your variable life policy does not satisfy one of these two alternate tests, it will not be treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applied, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so. See Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 72. If we return premium in order to bring your policy into compliance with the requirements of Section 7702, it will be refunded on a last-in, first-out basis and may be taken from the investment options in which your Account Value is allocated based on your premium allocation in effect.

    Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

    In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 tests, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires investments within a separate account, such as our Separate Account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations that set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification, and the Internal Revenue Service has published various revenue rulings and private letter rulings addressing diversification issues. To be adequately diversified, each Subaccount and its corresponding fund must meet certain tests. If these tests are not met your variable life policy will not be adequately diversified and not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each Subaccount’s corresponding fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy. Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the diversification requirements have been satisfied. If it is determined, however, that your variable life policy does not satisfy the applicable diversification regulations and rulings because a Subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring your policy into compliance with such regulations and rulings and we reserve the right to modify your policy as necessary in order to do so.

    In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies, due to their ability to exercise investment control over such assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and your Account Values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata share of the Separate Account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the Separate Account assets, or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

    Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

    The death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, ownership and beneficiary designations, including change of either, may have consequences under federal, state and local income, estate, inheritance, gift, generation-skipping and other tax laws. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, of those taxes and you should consult a qualified tax adviser.

    Distributions Other than Death Benefits

    Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the Account Value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a “modified endowment contract.”

    Modified Endowment Contracts

    Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as “modified endowment contracts” and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction or increase in benefits, policy reinstatement or substitution of the insured person, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract or increase the period during which the policy must be tested. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

    ING VUL-CV
    72


    If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract as described below. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

    Additionally, all modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

    Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two years:

    • All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and partial withdrawals, from a modified endowment contract will be treated first as distributions of gain, if any, and are taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy’s value, determined without regard to any surrender charges, and the investment in the policy;
    • Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract, and also assignments or pledges of such a policy (or agreements to assign or pledge such a policy), are treated first as distributions of gain, if any, and are taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and
    • A 10.00% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to a policy owned by an individual where the distributions are (a) made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59½; (b) attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or (c) part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.

    If we discover that your policy has inadvertently become a modified endowment contract, unless you have indicated otherwise, we will assume that you do not want it to be classified as a modified endowment contract and attempt to fix this by refunding any excess premium with related interest. The excess gross premium will be refunded on a last-in, first-out basis and may be taken from the investment options in which your Account Value is allocated based on your premium allocation in effect.

    ING VUL-CV
    73


    Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

    Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first 15 policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Consult a qualified tax adviser to determine whether or not any distributions made in connection with a reduction in policy benefits will be subject to tax.

    Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10.00% additional income tax penalty.

    Investment in the Policy

    Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

    Other Tax Matters

    Policy Loans

    In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid in connection with certain “key person” insurance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before taking out a loan to determine whether you qualify under this exception.

    Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan (loans where the interest rate charged is less than or equal to the interest rate credited) available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a qualified tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

    If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy, other than a modified endowment contract, is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly. If your policy has large outstanding policy loans, you may have to choose between paying high premiums to keep the policy from lapsing and paying significant income tax if you allow the policy to lapse.

    Accelerated Benefit Rider

    The benefit payments under the Accelerated Benefit Rider are intended to be fully excludable from the gross income of the recipient if the recipient is the insured under the policy, or is an individual who has no business or financial connection with the insured. (See Accelerated Benefit Rider, page 52, for more information about this rider.) However, you should consult a qualified tax adviser about the consequences of adding this rider to a policy or requesting payment under this rider.

    Continuation of a Policy

    The tax consequences of continuing the policy after an insured person reaches age 100 are unclear. For example, in certain situations it is possible that after an insured person reaches age 100 the IRS could treat you as being in constructive receipt of the Account Value if the Account Value becomes equal to the death benefit. If this happens, an amount equal to the excess of the Account Value over the investment in the policy would be includible in your income at that time. Because we believe the policy will continue to constitute life insurance at that time and the IRS has not issued any guidance on this issue, we do not intend to tax report any earnings due to the possibility of constructive receipt in this circumstance. You should consult a qualified tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force after an insured person reaches age 100.

    Section 1035 Exchanges

    Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy solely for another life insurance policy or an endowment, annuity or qualified long term care contract. We accept Section 1035 exchanges with outstanding loans. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your qualified tax adviser.

    Tax-exempt Policy Owners

    Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated business income tax.

    Tax Law Changes

    Although the likelihood of legislative action is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change may be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

    ING VUL-CV
    75


    Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

    So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to return or refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may reject any policy request, including a partial withdrawal request if it would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance or would cause us to return premium to you. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or make distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes. Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

    Policy Use in Various Plans and Arrangements

    Policy owners may use the policy in various arrangements, including:

    • Certain qualified plans;
    • Non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;
    • Split dollar insurance arrangements;
    • Executive bonus plans;
    • Retiree medical benefit plans; and
    • Other plans or arrangements.

    The tax consequences of these plans and arrangements may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use your policy with any of these various arrangements, you should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.

    Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

    Congress has enacted rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. For example, in the case of a policy issued to a nonnatural taxpayer, or held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer’s otherwise deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. (An exception to this rule is provided for certain life insurance contracts that cover the life of an individual who is a 20.00% owner, or an officer, director, or employee of a trade or business.) In addition, in certain instances, a portion of the death benefit payable under an employer-owned policy may be taxable. As another example, special rules apply if a business is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a qualified tax adviser.

    Income Tax Withholding

    The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. However, if you reside in the U.S., we generally do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you will have to pay additional income taxes and possibly penalties later. We will also report to the IRS the amount of any taxable distributions.

    ING VUL-CV
    76


    Life Insurance Purchases by Non-Resident Aliens

    If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, you will generally be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance policies at a 30.00% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, you may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes imposed by your country of citizenship or residence. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before purchasing a policy.

    Ownership and Beneficiary Designations

    Ownership and beneficiary designations, including change of either, may have consequences under federal, state and local income, estate, inheritance, gift, generation-skipping and other tax laws. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, of these taxes and you should consult a qualified tax adviser.

    Fair Value of Your Policy

    It is sometimes necessary for tax and other reasons to determine the “value” of your policy. The value can be measured differently for different purposes. It is not necessarily the same as the Account Value or the Net Account Value. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser for guidance as to the appropriate methodology for determining the fair market value of your policy.

    You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    General Policy Provisions

    Your Policy

    The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

    • Your policy;
    • A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;
    • Your riders;
    • Your endorsements;
    • Your policy schedule pages; and
    • Your reinstatement applications.

    If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

    ING VUL-CV
     77


    Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

    A president or other officer of our company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

    Age

    We issue your policy at the insured person’s age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the nearest birthday to the Policy Date. On the Policy Date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 85 (age 70 for guaranteed issue policies).

    We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person’s age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

    Ownership

    The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay Death Benefit Proceeds.

    As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

    You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our Customer Service Center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

    Beneficiaries

    You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the Death Benefit Proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive Death Benefit Proceeds only if there are no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the Death Benefit Proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner. If a beneficiary is a minor, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be held in an interest bearing account until that beneficiary attains the age of majority.

    ING VUL-CV
    78


    You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person’s lifetime. We pay Death Benefit Proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 74.

    Collateral Assignment

    You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries’ rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 74.

    Incontestability

    After your policy has been in force during the lifetime of the insured person for two years from your Policy Date, we will not contest it except for nonpayment of premium. Likewise, after your policy has been in force during the lifetime of the insured person for two years from the effective date of any new coverage segment or benefit or from the date of reinstatement, we will not contest it except for nonpayment of premium.

    Misstatements of Age or Gender

    Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person’s age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount that would have been purchased for the insured person’s correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your Account Value on the last Monthly Processing Date before the insured person’s death, or as otherwise required by law.

    If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

    Suicide

    If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of your Policy Date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit Death Benefit Proceeds to:

    • The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus
    • Any outstanding loan amount, including accrued but unpaid loan interest; minus
    • Partial withdrawals taken.

    ING VUL-CV
    79


    We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage Segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane), within two years of the effective date of a new coverage Segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance and periodic fees and charges which that deducted for the increase.

    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. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources.

    Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons 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 premium payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000.00, 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 to you and your policy either entering the 61-day grace period or lapsing. See Lapse, page 68. See also Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage, page 25.

    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 applicable in laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

    Transaction Processing

    Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

    • Death Benefit Proceeds;
    • Surrender Value;
    • Partial withdrawals; and
    • Loan proceeds.

    ING VUL-CV
    80


    We may delay processing these transactions if:

    • The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading;
    • Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC;
    • There is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell securities in the Subaccounts or to determine the value of a Subaccount’s assets; and
    • A governmental body with jurisdiction over the Separate Account allows suspension by its order.

    SEC rules and regulations generally determine whether or not these conditions exist.

    We execute transfers among the Subaccounts as of the Valuation Date of our receipt of your request at our Customer Service Center.

    We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person’s death. The Death Benefit Proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the Subaccounts.

    We may delay payment from our Guaranteed Interest Division for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, partial withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

    Unless you request otherwise, we generally pay Death Benefit Proceeds, Surrender Value and partial withdrawals into an interest bearing account that may be accessed by you or the beneficiary, as applicable, through a checkbook feature. This interest bearing account is backed by our general account, and the checkbook feature may be used to access the payment at any time without penalty. Interest credited under this account may be less than under other settlement options, and we seek to make a profit on this account.

    Notification and Claims Procedures

    Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

    You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for changes to your policy or if you surrender it.

    If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person’s death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person’s age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

    The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person’s next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

    Telephone Privileges

    Telephone privileges are automatically provided to you and your agent/registered representative, unless you decline it on the application or contact our Customer Service Center. Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative to call our Customer Service Center to:

    • Make transfers;
    • Change premium allocations;
    • Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs; and
    • Request a loan.

    Our Customer Service Center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

    • Requiring some form of personal identification;
    • Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and
    • Tape recording telephone calls.

    By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue this privilege at any time. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 62.

    Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider’s or your agent/agent representative’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your transfer request by written request.

    Non-participation

    Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company.

    Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

    We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

    • Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;
    • Indices or rankings of investment securities; and
    • Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

    We may use information regarding the past performance of the Subaccounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the Subaccounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

    ING VUL-CV
    82


    We may feature certain Subaccounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends and investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

    Settlement Options

    You may elect to take the Surrender Value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the Death Benefit Proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person’s lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person’s death.

    The investment performance of the Subaccounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. The declared interest rate will never be less than 3.00%, and any declared interest rate will be in effect for at least 12 months. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $20.00 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,000.00.

    The following settlement options are available:

    • Settlement Option 1 – The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;
    • Settlement Option 2 – The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee;
    • Settlement Option 3 – The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;
    • Settlement Option 4 – The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid; and
    • Settlement Option 5 – Other options we offer at the time we pay the benefit.

    If none of these settlement options have been elected, your Surrender Value or the Death Benefit Proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment.

    Unless you request otherwise, Death Benefit Proceeds generally will be paid into an interest bearing account that is backed by our general account and can be accessed by the beneficiary through a checkbook feature. The beneficiary may access the Death Benefit Proceeds at any time without penalty. Interest deducted on this account may be less than interest paid under other settlement options, and we seek to make a profit on this account. See Transaction Processing, page 80.

    Reports

    Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each policy year showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy’s death benefit, Account and Surrender Values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

    We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

    We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as transfers between investment options, partial withdrawals and loans. You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation notices to verify that the transactions are being made as requested.

    Illustrations. To help you better understand how your Account Values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, planned premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. We may assess a charge not to exceed $25.00 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Excess Illustration Fee, page 30. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average rather than an arithmetic average of fund expenses.

    Distribution of the Policy

    We sell the policy through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. All broker/dealers who sell the policy have entered into selling agreements with ING America Equities, Inc., our affiliate and the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy. ING America Equities, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Its principal office is located at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

    ING America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the aggregate amount of underwriting commissions we paid to ING America Equities, Inc. was $38,268,742.00, $34,635,694.00 and $30,168,287.00, respectively.

    ING America Equities, Inc. does not retain any commissions or other amounts paid to it by us for sales of the policy. Rather, it pays all the amounts received from us to the broker/dealers for selling the policy, and part of that payment goes to your agent/registered representative.

    The following is a list of broker-dealers affiliated with the company which have selling agreements with ING America Equities, Inc. for our variable life products:

    • Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc.
    • Financial Network Investment Corporation
    • Guaranty Brokerage Services, Inc.
    • ING Financial Advisers, LLC
    • ING Financial Partners, Inc.
    • Multi-Financial Securities Corporation
    • PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc.

    The amounts that we pay for the sale of the policy can generally be categorized as either commissions or other amounts. The commissions we pay can be further categorized as base commissions which may include a portion for wholesaling or supplemental commissions. However categorized, commissions paid will not exceed the total of the percentages shown below.

    Base commissions consist of a percentage of premium we receive for the policy up to the target premium amount and a percentage of premium we receive for the policy in excess of the target premium amount. We pay up to 90.00% of premium received up to target premium and 3.00% of premium received in excess of target premium received in the first policy year and 3.00% of premium received in renewal years two through ten. These percentages may decrease thereafter.

    Supplemental or wholesaling commissions are paid based on a percentage of target premiums we receive for the policy and certain other designated insurance products sold during a calendar year. The percentages of such commissions that we pay may increase as the aggregate amount of premiums received for all products issued by the company and/or its affiliates during the calendar year increases. The maximum percentage of supplemental commissions that we may pay is 44.40% .

    Generally, the commissions paid on premiums for base coverage under the policy are greater than those paid on premiums for coverage under the Adjustable Term Insurance Rider. Be aware of this and discuss with your agent/registered representative the right blend of base coverage and Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage for you.

    In addition to the sales compensation described above, ING America Equities, Inc. or the company, as appropriate, may also pay broker/dealers additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling the policy 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, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;
    • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;
    • Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their agents/registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;
    • Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of the policy; and
    • Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre- approved training and education seminars and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

    We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the policy.

    The following is a list of the top 25 broker/dealers that, during 2008, received the most, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of registered variable life insurance policies issued by us, ranked by total dollars received:

    This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our variable life insurance policies. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume or sales-based compensation to a broker/dealer or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our policies over those of another company and may also provide a financial incentive to promote the policy offered by this prospectus over one of our other policies.

    Legal Proceedings

    We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that involve the Separate Account as a party.

    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 America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, 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 America Equities, Inc. is not involved in any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the policy.

    Cash Value Accumulation Test Factors

    The cash value accumulation test factors vary depending on the age and gender of the insured person.

    Generally, the cash value accumulation test requires that a policy’s death benefit must be sufficient so that the Account Value does not at any time exceed the net single premium required to fund the policy’s future benefits. The net single premium for a policy is calculated using the greater of 4.00% or the rates of interest guaranteed in the Guaranteed Interest Division of the policy and the 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and will vary according to the age and gender of the insured person. The factors for the cash value accumulation test are then equal to 1 divided by the net single premium per dollar of paid up whole life insurance for the applicable age and gender.

    GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the “company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) issues the policy described in the prospectus and is responsible for providing each policy’s insurance benefits. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1929 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado 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. ING is headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are engaged in the business of issuing insurance policies. Our headquarters is at 1290 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80203-5699.

    We established the Security Life Separate Account L1 (the “variable account”) on November 3, 1993, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Colorado for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available subaccounts of the variable account. Each subaccount invests in shares of a corresponding fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

    Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the funds or affiliates of the funds available through the policies. See “Fees and Charges” in the prospectus.

    The company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the funds or distribution. The funds in whose shares the assets of the subaccounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective fund prospectuses.

    PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

    Information regarding the past, or historical, performance of the subaccounts of the variable account and the funds available for investment through the subaccounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. SUCH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE SUBACCOUNTS WILL REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF ALL FUND FEES AND CHARGES, INCLUDING INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES, DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES BUT WILL NOT REFLECT DEDUCTIONS FOR ANY POLICY FEES AND CHARGES. IF THE POLICY’S TAX, SALES, COST OF INSURANCE, MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK, POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION, PERIODIC OR OPTIONAL BENEFITS FEES AND CHARGES WERE DEDUCTED, THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

    With respect to performance reporting it is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and actual investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

    2


    Performance history of the subaccounts of the variable account and the corresponding funds is measured by comparing the value at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period. Performance is usually calculated for periods of one month, three months, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, ten years (if the fund has been in existence for these periods) and since the inception date of the fund (if the fund has been in existence for less than ten years). We may provide performance information showing average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a subaccount commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts. Performance information will be specific to the class of fund shares offered through the policy, however, for periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations, performance information may be based on a different class of shares of the same fund. In this case, performance for the periods prior to the date a class of fund shares commenced operations will be adjusted by the fund fees and expenses associated with the class of fund shares offered through the policy.

    We may compare performance of the subaccounts and/or the funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the subaccounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (“Lipper”) and Morningstar. Inc. (“Morningstar”) or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron’s, Kiplinger’s and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services that monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

    Lipper’s and Morningstar’s rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor’s Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any “deduction” for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

    To help you better understand how your policy’s death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the funds of 0.00% and other percentages not to exceed 12.00% or on the actual historical experience of the funds as if the subaccounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting our Customer Service Center at P.O. Box 5065, Minot, ND 58702-5065 or by calling 1-877-253-5050.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Security Life Separate Account L1 at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    Notes to Financial Statements

    1.      Organization
     
      Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Security Life Separate Account L1 (the “Account”) was established on November 3, 1993, by Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (“SLD” or the “Company”) to support the operations of variable universal life policies (“Policies”). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.
     
      The Account supports the operations of the FirstLine Variable Universal Life, FirstLine II Variable Universal Life, Strategic Advantage Variable Universal Life, Variable Survivorship Universal Life, Corporate Benefits Variable Universal Life, Strategic Investor Variable Universal Life, Asset Portfolio Manager Variable Universal Life, Estate Designer Variable Universal Life, Asset Accumulator Variable Universal Life, ING Corporate Advantage Variable Universal Life, ING Corporate Variable Universal Life, ING VUL-CV, ING VUL-ECV, and ING SVUL-ECV policies (collectively, “Policies”) offered by the Company.
     
      The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. SLD provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Policies by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the SLD fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account, as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business SLD may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of SLD. The assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of SLD.
     
      At December 31, 2008, the Account had 80 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 13 of which invest in an independently managed mutual fund portfolio and 67 of which invest in a mutual fund portfolio managed by an affiliate, either Directed Services LLC (“DSL”), formerly Directed Services, Inc., or ING Investments, LLC (“IIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated Fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (the “Trusts”).

    2.      Significant Accounting Policies
     
      The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:
     
      Use of Estimates
     
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.
     
      Investments
     
      Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund are recorded on the date the order to buy or sell is confirmed. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Fund are recognized on the ex- distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
     
      Federal Income Taxes
     
      Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of SLD, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of SLD.
     
      Contractowner Reserves
     
      Contractowner reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contractowners exceed their account values, SLD will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to SLD.

    3.      Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
     
      Fair Value Measurements
     
      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS No. 157”). FAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
     
      Under FAS No. 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, FAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. FAS No. 157 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data.
     
      The adoption of FAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the Account’s net assets or results of operations. New disclosures are included in the Financial Instruments footnote.
     
    4.      Financial Instruments
     
      The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the custodian and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.
     
      The Account’s financial assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2008, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2008.

    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY

    Notes to Financial Statements

    The FAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

    §      Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
     
    §      Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
     
      Level 2 inputs include the following:
     
      a)      Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
     
      b)      Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
     
      c)      Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and
     
      d)      Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
     
    §      Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.
     
    5.      Charges and Fees
     
      Under the terms of the Policies, certain charges are allocated to the Policies to cover SLD’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Policies. Following is a summary of these charges:
     
      Premium Expense Charge
     
      SLD deducts a premium charge for certain Policies ranging from 4.00% to 9.50% of each premium payment as defined in the Policies.
     
      Mortality, Expense Risk, and Other Charges
     
      For FirstLine, FirstLine II, Strategic Advantage, Variable Survivorship, Estate Designer Policies, and Strategic Investor (Class A Policies), charges are made directly against the assets of the Account Divisions and are reflected daily in the computation of the unit values of the Divisions. A daily deduction, at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account, is charged to cover these risks, as specified in the Policies.

    Notes to Financial Statements

    For the Corporate Benefits, ING Corporate Advantage, Asset Portfolio Manager, Asset accumulator, ING Corporate Policies (Class B Policies), ING VUL-CV, ING VUL-ECV and ING SVUL-CV, mortality and expense charges result in the redemption of units rather than a deduction in the daily computation of unit values.

    • For Corporate Benefits Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.20% of the contractowner account value, is charged.
    • For ING Corporate Advantage Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the contractowner account value, is charged.
    • For Asset Portfolio Manager Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.90% and 0.45% of the contractowner account value, is charged during policy years 1 through 10 and 11 through 20, respectively. There is no mortality and expense charge after year 20 for Asset Portfolio Manager Policies.
    • For Asset Accumulator Policies, a monthly deduction, at an annual rate of 0.45% and 0.30% of the contractowner account value, is charged during policy years 1 through 5 and 6 through 10, respectively. There is no mortality and expense charge after year 10 for Asset Accumulator Policies.
    • For ING Corporate Policies, a monthly deduction is charged to the contractowner account value at an annual rate ranging from 0.55% to 0.60% for policy years 1 through 10, 0.35% to 0.60% for policy years 11 through 20, and 0.20% to 0.60% for policy years after year 20.
    • For ING VUL-CV and ING SVUL-CV policies, a monthly deduction at an annual rate of 0.30% of the contractowner account value is charged.
    • For ING VUL-ECV policies, a monthly deduction at an annual rate of 0.45% of the contractowner account value is charged.

    The monthly cost of insurance charge varies based on the insured’s sex, issue age, policy year, rate class, and the face amount of policies.

    The monthly administrative charge is based on an established amount per $1,000 of base insurance coverage or an established per month charge, as defined in the Policies.

    The monthly amount charged for optional insurance benefits varies based on a number of factors and is defined in the Policies.

    Other Policy Deductions

    The Variable Universal Life Policies provide for certain deductions for sales and tax loads from premium payments received from the contractowners and for surrender charges and taxes from amounts paid to contractowners. Such deductions are taken after the redemption of units in the Account and are not included in the Account financial statements.

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    Board of Directors and Stockholder
    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company

    We have audited the accompanying statutory basis balance sheets of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the “Company,” a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Insurance of the Department of Regulatory Agencies of the State of Colorado (“Colorado Division of Insurance”), which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

    In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company at December 31, 2008 and 2007, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.


    However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

    Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the “Company”) is domiciled in Colorado and is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), a Delaware domiciled non-insurance holding company. The Company’s ultimate parent is ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services company based in the Netherlands.

    The Company focuses on two markets: the advanced market and the investment products market. The life insurance products offered for the advanced market include wealth transfer and estate planning, executive benefits, charitable giving and corporate owned life insurance. These products include traditional life, interest sensitive life, universal life, and variable life. The Company also offers guaranteed investment contracts and funding agreements, collectively referred to as "GICs," marketed by direct sale by home office personnel or through specialty insurance brokers. Operations are conducted almost entirely on the general agency basis and the Company is presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico (approved for reinsurance only). In the investment products market, the Company offers guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements, and trust notes to institutional buyers.

    Basis of Presentation: The preparation of the financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

    The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance, which practices differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

    Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at purchase as held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Held to maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income in stockholder’s equity for those designated as available for sale.

    The Company invests in structured securities including mortgage backed securities/ collateralized mortgage obligations, asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage backed securities. For these structured securities, management compares the undiscounted projected future cash flows to the carrying

    value. An other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred when the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value.

    For GAAP, assets are re-evaluated based on the discounted projected future cash flows using a current market rate. Impairments are recognized when the fair value is less than book value and there has been an adverse change in projected future cash flows. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the individual security is written down to fair value.

    Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 31, Derivative Instruments applies to derivative transactions entered into prior to January 1, 2003. The Company also follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. Under SSAP 86, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately. An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of shareholder’s equity rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

    Valuation Reserves: The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is intended to establish a reserve to offset potential credit related investment losses on most invested asset categories. AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus.

    Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The net deferral or interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) is reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

    Realized gains and losses on investments are reported in the Statements of Operations net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pretax basis in the period that the asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold. Realized losses due to impairment are

    recorded when there has been a decline in value deemed to be other than temporary, in which case the provision for such declines is charged to income.

    Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

    The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such allowances are included as a component of earnings.

    Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

    Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

    Under GAAP, premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist primarily of whole life insurance policies, are recognized as revenue when due. Group insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate. Revenues for universal life, annuities and guaranteed interest contracts consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender charges assessed during the period.

    Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium and Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation methods (“CRVM”) using statutory rates for mortality and interest. GAAP requires that policy reserves for traditional products be based upon the net level premium method utilizing reasonably conservative estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest sensitive products, the GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an

    10

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

    Reinsurance: For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Statutory income recognized on certain reinsurance treaties representing financing arrangements is not recognized on a GAAP basis.

    Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under GAAP.

    Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

    Gains and losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the business for GAAP purposes. For statutory, losses are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus.

    Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally disallowed deferred federal income tax assets, disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non operating software, past due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC

    Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the Balance Sheets.

    Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated. Certain affiliated investments for which audited GAAP statements are not available or expected to be available are nonadmitted. Under GAAP, the accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are consolidated. All affiliated investments are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Employee Benefits: For purposes of calculating the Company’s postretirement benefit obligation, only vested participants and current retirees are included in the valuation. Under GAAP, active participants not currently vested are also included.

    Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits

    11

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

    Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared. Under GAAP, dividends are recognized over the term of the related policies.

    Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula. This formula considers the amount of differences that will reverse in the subsequent year, taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, surplus limits, and the amount of deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted. Deferred taxes do not include any amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future years and a valuation allowance is established for the portion that is not realizable.

    Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as a component of surplus. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance. Under GAAP, surplus notes are reported as liabilities and the related interest is reported as a charge to earnings over the term of the notes.

    Statements of Cash Flows: Cash and short term investments in the Statements of Cash Flows represent cash balances, demand deposits, and short-term fixed maturity investments with initial maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Other invested assets include cash loaned through the Company’s reciprocal loan program.

    Reconciliation to GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

    Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

    Investments: Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

    Bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

    Single class and multi class mortgage backed/asset backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the effective interest method including anticipated prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities except for higher risk asset backed

    12


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    securities, which are valued using the prospective method. The Company has elected to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective method to securities purchased prior to that date where historical cash flows are not readily available.

    Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or market value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at market value or the lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (“SVO”).

    Common stocks are reported at market value as determined by the SVO and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with adjustment for federal income taxes.

    The Company analyzes the general account investments to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, future economic conditions and market forecasts, and the Company's intent and ability to not sell the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in market value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected, an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The Company also considers the negative market impact of the interest rate changes, in addition to credit related items, when performing other than temporary impairment testing. As part of this testing, the Company determines whether or not it has the intent to sell investments. If a decision to sell has been made, an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.

    The Company uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors, futures, forwards and options as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on instruments are included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold.

    Credit default swaps and total return swaps are utilized to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. Replicated (synthetic) assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The replication practices

    13


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    are in accordance with SSAP No. 86 permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments.

    Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

    Interest rate swap contracts are used to convert the interest rate characteristics (fixed or variable) of certain investments to match those of the related insurance liabilities that the investments are supporting. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

    Interest rate caps and floors are used to limit the effects of changing interest rates on yields of variable rate or short term assets or liabilities. The initial cost of any such agreement is amortized to net investment income over the life of the agreement. Periodic payments that are received as a result of the agreements are accrued as an adjustment of interest income or benefits from the hedged items.

    Options are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains or losses from the options are reported as unrealized gains or losses in surplus.

    SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (“SSAP 97”), applies to the Company’s subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated entities (“SCA”). The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory basis net assets plus the admitted portion of goodwill, and the Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries are reported at the GAAP basis of their net assets. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The remaining net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. SCA entities for which audited US GAAP statements are not available or expected to be available are nonadmitted.

    Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less writedown for impairments.

    Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

    Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost, and other real estate is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

    For reverse repurchase agreements, Company policies require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in short term investments and the offsetting collateral liability is included in miscellaneous liabilities.

    14

    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Reverse dollar repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateral borrowings, where the amount borrowed is equal to the sales price of the underlying securities.

    The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic bonds from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Collateral, primarily cash, which is in excess of the market value of the loaned securities, is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent to generate additional income for the Company. The Company does not have access to the collateral. The Company’s policy requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned to be maintained as collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value fluctuates.

    Short term investments are reported at amortized cost which approximates market value. Short term investments include investments with maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition.

    Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee. Changes in surplus from distributions are reported in investment income.

    Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the Balance Sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

    Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the first in first out method.

    Cash on hand includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short term investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less.

    Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts: Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 1.5% to 11.3% .

    The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues.

    The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

    15


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid Up Limited Pay contracts.

    For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

    For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

    The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Colorado Division of Insurance, is $13.3 billion and $11.0 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross premiums are less than the net premiums is $302.8 and $287.7 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

    The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance classified as group Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: current year reserves, plus payments, less prior year reserves, less funds added.

    Reinsurance: Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations.

    Electronic Data Processing Equipment: Electronic data processing equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of such assets is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

    Participating Insurance: Participating business approximates less than 1% of the Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and less than 1% of premium income. The amount of dividends to be paid to participating policyholders is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on

    published dividend projections or expected dividend scales. Dividends expense of $2.6, $3.3 and $9.5 was incurred in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Benefit Plans: The Company provides noncontributory retirement plans for substantially all employees and certain agents. Pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are made to the plans. The Company also provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees.

    Nonadmitted Assets: Nonadmitted assets are summarized as follows:

      December 31
      2008  2007 
     
      (In Thousands)
    Other invested assets  $ 25,800  $ 1

    Receivables from parent, subsidiaries and affiliates  81    90 
    Other  11,134    12,905 
     
    Total nonadmitted assets  $ 335,849  $ 275,623 
     

    Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in unassigned surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

    Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses: Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2008. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2008.

    Guaranteed Benefits: For the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”), Actuarial Guideline 34 (“AG34”) is followed. All the methodology and assumptions (mortality and interest) are contained in the guideline. AG34 interprets the standards for applying CARVM to GMDBs in variable annuity contracts where GMDBs are integrated with other benefits such as surrenders and annuitizations. This guideline requires that GMDBs be projected assuming an immediate drop in the value of the assets supporting the variable annuity contract, followed by a subsequent recovery at a net assumed return. The immediate drops and assumed returns used in the projections are provided in AG34 and vary by five asset classes in order to reflect the risk/return differential inherent in each class. Contract specific asset based charges are deducted to obtain the net assumed returns. This guideline interprets mortality standards to be applied to projected GMDBs in the reserve calculation. In addition, this guideline clarifies standards for reinsurance transactions involving GMDBs with integrated benefit streams modified to reflect both

    the payment of future reinsurance premiums and the recovery of future reinsured death benefits.

    Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the Company’s statutory basis financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications reflect presentational differences on both the Balance Sheets and Statement of Operations. There were no changes to total capital and surplus or net income. A reconciliation of the material presentational differences for 2007 balances is as follows:

    Separate Accounts: Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value and are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company.

    Certain other separate accounts relate to experience rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is reestablished each year based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than zero. The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at book value.

    Reserves related to the Company’s mortality risk associated with these policies are included in life and annuity reserves. These reserves include reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (before reinsurance) that totaled $14.8 and $21.9 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

    2. Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

    The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance. The Colorado Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Colorado Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Colorado. The Colorado Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

    The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Colorado Division of Insurance. As of December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

    The Company had loaned securities, which are reflected as invested assets on the balance sheets, with a market value of approximately $55.2 and $156.5 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    Proceeds from sales of investments in bonds and other fixed maturity interest securities were $2.2 billion, $3.4 billion and $4.2 billion in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross gains of $40.6, $31.5, and $55.6 and gross losses of $122.6, $43.3, and $71.3 during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were realized on those sales. A portion of the gains and losses realized in 2008, 2007, and 2006 has been deferred to future periods in the IMR.

    Realized capital (losses) gains are reported net of federal income taxes and amounts transferred to the IMR as follows:

    Net realized capital (losses) gains  $ (183,629)  $ (7,101)  $ 5,341 
     

    Realized capital losses include losses of $186.6, $27.5, and $33.2 related to securities that have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

    Management regularly reviews the value of the Company’s investments. If the value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary decline in value. To make this determination for each security, the following are some of the factors considered:

    • The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost.
    • The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential.
    • Management’s intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its value.

    Based on the analysis, management makes a judgment as to whether the loss is other-than-temporary. If the loss is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded within net realized investment gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made.

    The Company entered into reverse dollar repurchase transactions to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Reverse dollar repurchases involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold. The reverse dollar repurchases are accounted for as short term collateralized financing and the repurchase obligation is reported in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation totaled $258.0 and $250.3 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage backed securities with a book value of $254.6 and $254.8 and fair value of $260.9 and $254.3 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The securities had a weighted average coupon rate of 5.6% with various maturity dates ending in December 2038. The primary risk associated with short term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty may be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short term investments, which was not material at December 31, 2008. The Company believes that the counterparties to the reverse dollar repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that counterparty risk is minimal.

    The Company participates in reverse repurchase transactions. Such transactions include the sale of corporate securities to a major securities dealer and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security in the near term. The proceeds are invested in new securities of intermediate durations. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the amount outstanding on these agreements was $381.4 and $515.6, respectively, and was included in borrowed money on the balance sheets. The securities underlying these agreements are mortgage backed securities with a book value of $434.0 and $547.2 and fair value of

    $441.3 and $545.3 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 4.9% with various maturity dates ending in July 2043.

    The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLB”). As a member of the FHLB, the Company has issued nonputable funding agreements with the FHLB. Assets with a book value of $5.5 billion and $4.0 billion collateralize these agreements and reserves on these agreements were $2.8 billion and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    The maximum and minimum lending rates for long term mortgage loans during 2008 were 6.6% and 3.6% . Fire insurance is required on all properties covered by mortgage loans and must at least equal the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be permitted by law on the land without the buildings. Generally all risk coverage at replacement cost is required for a property securing real estate finance investments.

    The maximum percentage of any loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, was 70.0% on commercial properties. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company held no mortgages with interest more than 180 days overdue. Minimal interest was past due as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

    The Company had no impaired mortgage loans for 2008 or 2007.

    In the course of the Company’s asset management, securities are sold and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date to enhance the Company’s return on the investment portfolio or to manage interest rate risk. The table below summarizes the number of transactions, book value, and gain/loss of the Company’s financial instruments with securities sold and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date:

    There were no encumbrances on real estate at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    Since the third quarter of 2007, credit markets have become more turbulent amid concerns about subprime and Alt-A mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”). This in turn has resulted in a general widening of credit spreads, reduced price

    transparency, reduced liquidity, increased rating agency downgrades and increased volatility across certain markets.

    The Company does not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A whole-loan mortgages. The Company does have exposure to Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Subprime lending is the origination of loans to customers with weaker credit profiles. The Company defines Alt-A Loans to include residential mortgage loans to customers who have strong credit profiles but lack some element(s), such as documentation to substantiate income. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company expanded its definition of Alt-A loans to include residential mortgage loans to borrowers that would otherwise be classified as prime but whose loan structure provides repayment options to the borrower that increase the risk of default. Further, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the industry coalesced around classifying any securities backed by residential mortgage collateral not clearly identifiable as prime or subprime into the Alt-A category, and the Company is following that lead. The following summarizes the Company’s exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

    Trading activity for the Company’s RMBS, particularly subprime and Alt-A RMBS, has been declining during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets. During 2008, the Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A RMBS did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008. As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS was inactive. The Company did not change its valuation procedures as a result of determining that the market was inactive.

    The following table summarizes the Company’s exposure to subprime mortgage backed holdings and Alt-A mortgage backed securities through other investments as of December 31, 2008:

    The Company did not have underwriting exposure to subprime mortgage risk through investments in subprime mortgage loans, Mortgage Guaranty or Financial Guaranty insurance coverage as of December 31, 2008.

    4. Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

    The Company utilizes derivatives such as options, futures, caps, floors, forwards and interest rate swaps to reduce and manage risks, which include the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, exchange rates or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to, assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. Hedge accounting practices are followed in accordance with requirements set forth in SSAP No. 86 for those derivatives that are deemed highly effective. The Company also enters into credit default swaps and total return swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. Replicated (synthetic) assets filed with the NAIC SVO result in both the derivative and cash instrument being carried at amortized cost. The replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86.

    The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

    Currency swap agreements generally involve the exchange of local and foreign currency payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

    Interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements owned entitle the Company to receive payments to the extent reference interest rates exceed or fall below strike levels in the contracts based on the notional amounts.

    Options are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains or losses from the options are reported as unrealized gain or loss in surplus.

    Premiums paid for the purchase of interest rate contracts are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the contracts or in a manner consistent with the financial instruments being hedged.

    Amounts paid or received, if any, from such contracts are included in interest expense or income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or other invested assets. Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations of interest rate contracts are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the items being hedged to the extent the hedge is considered to be effective; otherwise, they are recognized upon termination.

    Derivatives that are designated as being in an effective hedging relationship are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in surplus.

    The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on certain derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

    Under the terms of the Company’s Over the Counter Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”), the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA Agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received or receive interest on any cash delivered equal to the Federal Funds rate. The Company delivered $137.7 and $109.1 of collateral in the form of cash, for years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The portfolio is well diversified, covering many different types of income producing properties on which the Company has first mortgage liens. The maximum mortgage outstanding on any individual property is $100.0.

      7. Employee Benefit Plans

    Defined Benefit Plan: ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees.

    The Retirement Plan is a tax qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan (except for certain specified employees) earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $2.3, $2.6 and $3.2 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Defined Contribution Plans: ING North America sponsors the ING Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Savings Plan is a tax qualified profit sharing and stock bonus plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pretax basis. ING North America matches such pretax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4 year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5 year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Amounts allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $2.0, $2.2 and $2.2 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Other Benefit Plans: In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to eligible employees and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and other eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan includes a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan, and a nonqualified defined contribution plan, which means all benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company. The postretirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

    Assumptions used in determining the accounting for the defined benefit plans and other benefit plan as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

      2008 2007 2006
     
    Weighted average discount rate       6.0%       6.5%       5.9% 
    Rate of increase in compensation level       4.0%       4.2%       4.0% 

    The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e. health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 9.0%, decreasing gradually to 6.5% over five years. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2008 by $0.1. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 2008 by $0.1.

    The Company expects to pay the following benefits:

    Year ending   
    December 31,  Benefits 

      (In Thousands) 
    2009  $ 1,691 
    2010                                     1,701

    Thereafter                                     8,016 

    The Company’s 2009 future expected contribution is $1.7.

    The measurement date used for postretirement benefits is December 31, 2008.

    On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Impairment and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare, as well as a federal subsidiary to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare. The 2009 expected benefit reduction in the net postretirement benefit cost for the subsidy related to benefits attributed to former employees is less than $0.1. There is no effect of the subsidy on the measurement of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the current period.

    The Company had $6.6 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008 that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

    The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current federal income taxes and federal income tax expense on the balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $0.2 and $0.2 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

    The Company is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2004 through 2008. It is anticipated that the IRS audit of tax years 2004 through 2008 will be finalized within the next twelve months. Upon finalization of the IRS examination, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $0.8. The timing of the payment of the remaining allowance of $5.8 cannot be reliably estimated.

    10. Investment in and Advances to Subsidiaries

    The Company has two wholly owned insurance subsidiaries at December 31, 2008, Midwestern United Life Insurance Company (“Midwestern”) and Whisperingwind III, LLC (“WWIII”). The Company also has one wholly owned non-insurance subsidiary, ING America Equities, Inc. (“IAE”).

    Asset and liability amounts for WWIII are included in the above table, however the Company’s carrying amount for WWIII is zero.

    The Company did not receive dividends from any of its subsidiaries during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

    Effective March 27, 2008, the Company dissolved its wholly owned subsidiary Draft Funding, LLC, a non-insurance entity. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this transaction.

    Effective August 27, 2008, the Company dissolved its wholly owned subsidiary First Secured Mortgage Deposit Corporation, a non-insurance entity. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this transaction.

    On October 27, 2006, the Company created WWIII, a special purpose financial captive reinsurance company (“SPFC”), under the laws of the State of South Carolina. WWIII was not licensed by the South Carolina Department of Insurance as of December 31, 2006. Consequently, WWIII did not commence writing insurance business until 2007. On June 25, 2007, WWIII received its licensure as a SPFC from the Director of the South Carolina Department of Insurance. As of December 31, 2008, WWIII has no carrying value. The Company contributed capital to WWIII of $0, $37.4 and $2.5 during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. During 2008, the Company ceded premium and ceded reserves to WWIII of $71.2 and $434.5, respectively. The amount of insurance in force ceded to WWIII was $1.7 billion at December 31, 2008. During 2007, the Company ceded premium and ceded reserves to WWIII of $288.4 and $357.8,

    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    respectively. The amount of insurance in force ceded to WWIII was $1.4 billion at December 31, 2007.

    11. Reinsurance

    The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from retrocessionaire insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the retrocessionaire and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

    Assumed premiums amounted to $1.6 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    The Company’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:

      December 31
      2008  2007  2006 
     
      (In Thousands)
    Premiums  $ 1,675,116  $ 1,879,093  $ 1,689,546 
    Benefits paid or provided               1,448,588  1,235,280             1,200,908 
    Policy and contract liabilities at year end               8,142,243  7,516,909             7,159,539 

    The net amount of the reduction in surplus at December 31, 2008, if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled, is $7.0 billion.

    12. Capital and Surplus

    Under Colorado insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $1.5. Additionally, the amount of dividends which can be paid by the Company to its shareholder without prior approval of the Colorado Division of Insurance is limited to the greater of the net gain from operations excluding realized capital gains or 10% of surplus at December 31 of the preceding year.

    On January 1, 2001, Lion Connecticut Holdings, Inc. issued two surplus notes for $65.0 and $100.0. These notes represent the cumulative cash draws on two $100.0 commitments issued by ING AIH through December 31, 2008, less principal payments. The surplus notes bear interest at a variable rate equal to the prevailing rate for 10 year U.S. Treasury bonds plus 0.25%, adjusted annually. The principal sum plus accrued interest shall be repaid in five annual installments beginning April 15, 2017 and continuing through April 15, 2021 (“Repayment Period”). The repayment amount shall be determined and adjusted annually on the last day of December, commencing

    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    December 31, 2016, and shall be an amount calculated to amortize any unpaid principal plus accrued interest over the years remaining in the Repayment Period. Payment of the notes and related accrued interest is subordinate to payments due to policyholders, claimant and beneficiary claims, as well as debts owed to all other classes of debtors, other than surplus note holders, of the Company in the event of (a) the institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation proceedings by or against the Company, or (b) the appointment of a Trustee, receiver or other conservator for a substantial part of the Company’s properties. Any payment of principal and/or interest made is subject to the prior approval of the Colorado Insurance Commissioner. There were no principal or interest payments in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

    On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of Euro 10 billion. On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING AIH, of which $210.0 was contributed to the Company, effective December 31, 2008. The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch government and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING. The Company did not receive a capital contribution during 2007 or 2006. The Company did not pay dividends to ING AIH during 2008. The Company paid an ordinary dividend to ING AIH of $100.0 and $115.0 on December 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Timely notice was given for this dividend payment to the Colorado Insurance Department. The Colorado Insurance Department does not require approval for ordinary dividends.

    Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2008, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

    13. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

    In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

    The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are summarized as follows:

       Payable for securities  284  284  337    337 

    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

    Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

    Bonds and equity securities: The fair values for bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein are based on quoted market prices, where available. For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placement investments, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall within a range between .99% and 14.7% over the total portfolio. Fair values determined on this basis can differ from values published by the SVO. Fair value as determined by the SVO as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 is $13.8 billion and $17.6 billion, respectively.

    Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features

    43


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk. All residential loans are valued at their outstanding principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

    Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models, taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties’ credit standing.

    The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

    Included in various investment related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stock when carried at the lower of cost or market.

    The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

    Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

    The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair

    44


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

    • Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
    • Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
      Level 2 inputs include the following:
              a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; 
              b)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active 
      markets; 
              c)  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and 
              d)  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market 
      data through correlation or other means. 

    • Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

    The following table provides information as of December 31, 2008 about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

      Level 1  Level 2  Level 3(1)             Total

    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Preferred and Common Stock: Fair values of these securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets.

    Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

    Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. Mutual funds, short-term investments and cash are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1. Bond valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services and brokers and are included in Level 2. The valuations obtained from brokers are non-binding. Valuations are validated monthly through comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, and monitoring of trading volumes.

    Derivatives: Derivatives that are carried at fair value (on the Balance Sheets), are determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company’s policy to deal only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company obtains key input into the valuation model for puts, calls, and futures from one third party broker. Because the input is not received from multiple brokers, these fair values are not deemed to be calculated based on market observable inputs, and, therefore, these instruments are classified as Level 3. However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

    14. Commitments and Contingencies

    Guarantee Agreements: The Company guarantees certain contractual policy claims of its subsidiary, Midwestern. In the unlikely event that Midwestern was unable to fulfill its obligations to policyholders, the Company would be obligated to assume the guaranteed policy obligations. Any ultimate contingent losses in connection with such guarantees will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future operations or financial position.

    The Company, effective January 2002, entered into a Guarantee Agreement with two other ING affiliates whereby it is jointly and severally liable for $250.0 obligation of SLDI. The Company’s Board of Directors approved this transaction on April 25, 2002. The other two affiliated life insurers were ReliaStar Life Insurance Company and Security Connecticut Life Insurance Company (subsequently merged into ReliaStar Life Insurance Company on October 1, 2003). The joint and several guarantees of the two

    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    remaining insurers are capped at $250.0. The States of Colorado and Minnesota did not disapprove the guarantee.

    Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has entered into agreements to purchase securities of $34.2 and $145.8 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide additional capital contributions of $351.8 and $417.8 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in partnerships reported in other invested assets not on the balance sheets.

    Operating Leases: As discussed in Footnote 16, the Company is party to certain cost sharing agreements with other affiliated ING United States companies. Included in these cost sharing arrangements is rent expense, which is allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost allocation arrangements. The Company incurred minimal rent expense during years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 under this cost sharing methodology.

    The Company does not have any minimum aggregate rental commitments under the cost sharing arrangements and service agreements. The Company does not have any future minimum lease payment receivables under the cost sharing arrangements and service agreements.

    The Company is not involved in any sale leaseback transactions.

    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.

    Regulatory Matters: As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

    Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matter: Federal and state regulators and self regulatory agencies are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives

    currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

    Investment Product Regulatory Issues: Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

    In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

    The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in reports previously filed by affiliates of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    Action may be taken by regulators with respect to the Company or certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S. based operations, including the Company.

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

    Liquidity: The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, premiums, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities, withdrawals, and surrenders.

    The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s operations, including investment decisions, product development, and determination of crediting rates. As part of the risk management process, different economic scenarios are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet projected liability cash flows. Key variables in the modeling process include interest rates, anticipated contract owner behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contract owners bear the investment risk related to variable annuity products, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates.

    The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the fixed account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the Company to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other relevant factors. The objective of portfolio management is to maximize returns, taking into account interest rate and credit risk, as well as other risks. The Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change. In executing this strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage these risks. The Company’s derivative counterparties are of high credit quality.

    In the first quarter of 2009, the Company has taken certain actions to reduce its exposure to interest rate and market risks. These actions include reducing guaranteed interest rates for new business, reducing credited rates on existing business, curtailing sales of some products, reassessment of the investment strategy with a focus on Treasury and investment grade assets, as well as a short-term program to hedge equity market risk associated with variable fee income. During 2009, the Company will be monitoring these

    initiatives and their impacts on earnings, capital, and liquidity, and will determine whether further actions are necessary.

    15. Financing Agreements

    The Company maintains a revolving loan agreement with Bank of New York, (“BONY"). Under this agreement, the Company can borrow up to $50.0 from BONY. Interest on any borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for BONY for the period applicable for the advance plus 0.4% or (2) a rate quoted by BONY to the Company for the borrowing. Under this agreement, the Company incurred minimal interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, there were no amounts payable to BONY at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

    The Company maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short term cash requirements. Under this agreement, which expires July 1, 2015, the Company and ING AIH can borrow up to 3% of the Company's admitted assets as of December 31 of the preceding year from one another. Interest on any Company borrowing is charged at the rate of ING AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period plus 0.15% . Interest on any ING AIH borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration. Under this agreement, the Company incurred interest expense of $2.3 and $3.7 and received interest income of $3.5 and $2.4 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Interest paid on borrowed money was $2.3, $3.7 and $1.7 during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    The Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $2.8 billion; terms of the letters of credit provide for automatic renewal for the following year at December 31, unless otherwise canceled or terminated by either party to the financing.

    special purpose statutory trust, are offered only to U.S. qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or to foreign buyers pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.

      20. Subsequent Events

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

    53


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    Under the terms of the Back-up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State will be realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas with a book value of $36.0 billion portfolio, including book value of approximately $680 of the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company (with respect to the Company’s portfolio, the “Designated Securities Portfolio”) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”). As a result of the risk transfer, the Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State will take place at a discount of 10% of par value. Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, including the Company will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio. The ING-Dutch State Transaction closed on March 31, 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph to take effect as of January 26, 2009.

    In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, the Company will enter into a participation agreement with its affiliates, ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”) and ING pursuant to which the Company will convey to ING Support Holding an 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio and will receive, as consideration for the participation, an assignment by ING Support Holding of its right to receive payments from the Dutch State under the Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio among, ING, ING Support Holding and the Dutch State (the “Company Back-Up Facility”). Under the Company Back-Up Facility, the Dutch State will be obligated to make certain periodic payments with respect to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, and ING Support Holding will be obligated to make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions it receives with respect to the 80% participation interest in the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio.

    In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s Alt-A RMBS which has a book value of approximately $240 will be sold for cash to an affiliate, Lion II. Immediately thereafter, Lion II will sell to ING Bank, FSB the purchased securities. Contemporaneous with this transaction, ING Bancorp will include such purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State. The Step 1 Cash Transfer closed on March 31, 2009 contemporaneous with the closing of the ING-Dutch Transaction.

    Since the Company had the intent to sell as of December 31, 2008, a portion of its Alt-A RMBS through the 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio or as part of the Step 1 Cash Transfer, the Company evaluated the securities for impairment under INT 06-07: Definition of Phrase “Other Than Temporary” and SSAP 43, Loan-backed and Structured Securities. Per SSAP 43, the book value of the other-than-temporary impaired security must be written down to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In applying SSAP 43, the Company considered the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for the impairment test to be the remaining undiscounted cash flows on

    54


    SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
    Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
    December 31, 2008
    (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

    the security over its expected life. Since the estimated undiscounted future cash flow from these securities exceeds the carrying value of the securities at December 31, 2008, no impairment was recorded. The Company expects to record a realized loss of approximately $60 related to these transactions in the first quarter of 2009.

    Liquidity Facility: Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the ING Supervisory Board of Directors approved a liquidity facility for up to $2.0 billion to support the liquidity requirements in ING’s US Life Insurance operations, including the Company. The exact usage of the facility, if any, has not been determined, as it will be utilized as an alternative source of liquidity.

    Hanover Re acquisition of Scottish Re: On February 20, 2009, Hannover Re acquired the U.S. Individual Reinsurance portfolio from Bermuda-based reinsurer Scottish Re Group Ltd. The net effect of the transaction is a neutral impact to the Company’s balance sheet and income statement as all risks associated with the business are ultimately ceded to Hannover Re.

    New Accounting Pronouncements: Effective reporting periods beginning January 1, 2009, the Company will adopt SSAP No. 98, Treatment of Cash Flows When Qualifying Changes in Valuation and Impairments (“SSAP 98”) (amending paragraphs 14 though 16 of SSAP 43) for Loan-backed and Structured Securities. The amendment requires once an other than temporary impairment occurs, the Company will determine the amount of the impairment comparing the carrying value of the investment to the present value of anticipated future cash flows of the investment. If the present value of future cash flows is less than the carrying value, an asset impairment must be recorded. Credit related impairments will be recorded through the AVR while interest related losses shall be recorded through the IMR. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Company’s financial statements.

     Item 28          Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or the Registrant 
     
     Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 to Registration Statement on Form 
     N-6 for Select*Life Variable Account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (File No. 33-57244), as filed with the 
     Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2009.   
     
     Item 29          Indemnification   


    Under its Bylaws, Sections 1 through 8, Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("Security Life") indemnifies, to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, member of a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, officer, salaried employee, or fiduciary of Security Life or is or was serving at the request of Security Life (whether or not as a representative of Security Life) as a director, officer, employee, or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to in the best interest of the corporation, or at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Security Life pursuant to such provisions of the bylaws or statutes or otherwise, Security Life has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in said Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Security Life of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of Security Life in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of Security Life in connection with the securities being registered, Security Life 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 of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    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 Colorado, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains a Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policy issued by an international insurer. The policy covers 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 the principal underwriter, as well as, the depositor. Additionally, the parent company of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., ING Groep N.V., maintains excess umbrella coverage with limits in excess of €125,000,000. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and fidelity.

    Additionally, Section 13 of the Security Life Distribution Agreement with ING America Equities, Inc. (INGAE) generally provides that each party will indemnify and hold harmless the officers, directors and employees of the other party (and the variable account with respect to indemnity by INGAE) against any expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or based on certain claims or circumstances in connection with the offer or sale of the policies. Under this agreement neither party is entitled to indemnity if the expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, or liabilities resulted from their own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, misconduct or wrongful act.

    Item 30          Principal Underwriters   
    (a)  Other Activity. ING America Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter for the policies, is also the principal
