REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

Board Considerations and Benefits of the Reorganization

(pg.6 through pg. 7 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus)

The Board of Directors of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (“Board”) considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

· The Reorganization should provide greater opportunity to improve net flows and provide to shareholders a better opportunity to benefit from economies of scale.

· The New Index Fund and the Index Fund have the same investment objective, investment strategy and investment limitations.

· Hartford Investment Management currently serves as sub-adviser to the Index Fund. Hartford Investment Management will serve as the investment manager to the New Index Fund. Accordingly, there will be no change to the individuals providing day-to-day management of the New Index Fund’s portfolio as a result of the Reorganization.

· The New Index Fund will have the same contractual management fee schedule as the Index Fund. In addition, expenses paid by shareholders of the New Index Fund will be capped through April 30, 2016 to match the Index Fund’s 2013 total annual fund operating expenses.

· The share class structure of the New Index Fund is identical to that of the Index Fund.

· The share purchase and redemption provisions for the New Index Fund and the Index Fund are the same. For additional information on purchase and redemption provisions, see “General Information About HIMCO VIT Index Fund” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

· Shareholders of the New Index Fund will receive the same level of services provided pursuant to the New Index Fund’s investment management agreement with Hartford Investment Management as they currently receive pursuant to the Index Fund’s investment management agreement with Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC.

· The New Index Fund will assume the performance history of the Index Fund.

· The New Index Fund will have different service providers than the Index Fund, and an unaffiliated service provider will provide administrative, transfer agency and fund accounting services. The expenses related to certain service providers are expected to increase as a result of the Reorganization. The Board considered this fact to be an adverse factor, but noted that due to the expense cap described above, the change in service providers is not expected to impact fund expenses through April 30, 2016.

· The Reorganization provided a better option for shareholders than possible alternatives, such as the liquidation of the Index Fund, which could potentially be less beneficial to shareholders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY STATEMENT/ PROSPECTUS

General Information About the Reorganization

Please inform shareholders of the following:

The Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information you should know before voting on the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Plan”). You should read the entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including the appendix, carefully.

Q. 1. Why am I receiving the Proxy Statement/Prospectus?

A. 1. The combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus is being furnished to shareholders of Hartford Index HLS Fund (the “Index Fund”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the offices of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, 5 Radnor Corporate Center, Suite 300, 100 Matsonford Road, Radnor, Pennsylvania, on September 15, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time).

The purpose of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is to obtain shareholder approval to reorganize the Index Fund into HIMCO VIT Index Fund (the “New Index Fund”), a series of HIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), a newly-organized open-end management investment company.

Q. 2. Why did the Board recommend the Reorganization?

A. 2. In recommending the Reorganization, the Board considered, among other things, the potential impact of the Reorganization on the Index Fund’s shareholders and a variety of related factors, including, among others, (1) that the Reorganization should provide greater opportunity to improve net flows and benefit from economies of scale; (2) that the Index Fund and the New Index Fund share the same investment objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions; (3) the fact that the management fee schedule of the New Index Fund is the same as the management fee schedule of the Index Fund; (4) the fact that, although expenses are expected to increase as a result of the Reorganization, shareholders are not expected to experience any increase in expenses through at least April 30, 2016 due to an expense limitation arrangement, and the greater opportunity to improve net flows may in the future reduce the impact of the increase in expenses; (5) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Plan, including provisions intended to avoid any dilution of shareholder interests; (6) the costs to the Index Fund of the Reorganization; (7) the fact that the Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under federal tax laws; and (8) possible alternatives to the Reorganization, including liquidation.

After careful consideration, the Board determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Index Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Index Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Q. 3. How does the New Index Fund differ from the Index Fund?

A. 3. Whereas the Index Fund is a series of the Company, a Maryland corporation, the New Index Fund is a series of the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The members of the New Index Fund’s Board of Trustees differ from the members of the Index Fund’s Board of Directors, and the New Index Fund also has a different investment adviser. However, the investment adviser for the New Index Fund is Hartford Investment Management Company, which currently serves as sub-adviser to the Index Fund, and there will be no change in the personnel providing portfolio management services. Effective July 31, 2014, the Index Fund has two portfolio managers, Edward Caputo and Paul Bukowski, which replaced Deane Gyllenhaal, and HIMCO VIT Index Fund will have the same two portfolio managers. Both the Index Fund and the New Index Fund are registered as open-end management investment companies, and there will be no difference in the investment management fees borne by shareholders of the New Index Fund from those currently borne by shareholders of the Index Fund.

Q. 4. Will the New Index Fund have the same service providers?

A. 4. No. In addition to the change in investment adviser described above, the New Index Fund will have different service providers, including a different custodian, a different underwriter, a different auditor, and a different entity providing administrative, transfer agency and fund accounting services. Although the expenses related to certain service providers are expected to increase as a result of the Reorganization, shareholders are not expected to experience any increase in expenses through at least April 30, 2016 due to an expense limitation arrangement.

Please see the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for more information.

Q. 5. How does the Board suggest that I vote?

A. 5. After careful consideration, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Reorganization.

Q. 6. Who is eligible to vote?

A. 6. Shareholders of record of the Index Fund on the Record Date are receiving the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and are eligible to vote on the Reorganization.

Q. 7. Who would bear the costs of the Reorganization?

A. 7. The costs relating to the Reorganization will be borne solely by Hartford Investment Management Company, the investment adviser to the New Index Fund, or its affiliates. No such

costs shall be borne by the Index Fund or the New Index Fund, except for any brokerage fees and brokerage-related expenses that may be incurred in connection with the Reorganization.

Q. 8. When would the Reorganization occur?

A. 8. If approved at the Meeting, the Reorganization is scheduled to occur on or about October 20, 2014, but may occur on such earlier or later date as the parties agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

Q. 9. How would the Reorganization affect me as a shareholder?

A. 9. Upon the Closing Date, shareholders of the Index Fund would become shareholders of the New Index Fund. Specifically, shareholders of Class IA and IB shares, respectively, of the Index Fund would receive shares of the corresponding class of the New Index Fund that are equal in value to the shares in the Index Fund held by the shareholder as of 4:00 p.m. on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Q. 10. What happens if the Reorganization is not approved?

A. 10. If the required approval of shareholders is not obtained, the Meeting may be adjourned to a later date to permit further solicitation of proxies, as more fully described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. If the Reorganization is not approved, you will remain a shareholder of the Index Fund and the Board will take such actions as it deems necessary or appropriate in the best interests of the Index Fund’s shareholders based on the facts and circumstances.

Q. 11. If the Reorganization is approved, can I exchange or redeem my shares before the Reorganization takes place?

A. 11. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus (or other disclosure document) or plan documents for more information on exchange rights and redemption procedures.

In recommending each Reorganization, the Board considered, among other things, the potential impact of the Reorganization on the shareholders of the American Funds HLS Funds and a variety of related factors, including, among others, (1) that each Reorganization should provide greater opportunity to improve net flows and benefit from economies of scale; (2) that each American Funds HLS Fund and its corresponding HIMCO VIT American Fund share the same investment objectives, investment policies and investment restrictions; (3) the fact that the management fee schedule of each HIMCO VIT American Fund is the same as the management fee schedule of the corresponding American Funds HLS Fund; (4) the fact that, although expenses are expected to increase as a result of the Reorganization, shareholders are not expected to experience any increase in expenses until at least April 30, 2016 due to an expense limitation arrangement, and the greater opportunity to improve net flows may in the future reduce the impact of the increase in expenses; (5) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Plan, including provisions intended to avoid any dilution of shareholder interests; (6) the costs to the American Funds HLS Funds of each Reorganization; (7) the fact that each Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under federal tax laws; and (8) possible alternatives to each Reorganization, including liquidation.

After careful consideration, the Board determined that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of the American Funds HLS Funds and their shareholders and that the interests of existing shareholders of the American Funds HLS Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.

Q. 3. How do the HIMCO VIT American Funds differ from the American Funds HLS Funds?

A. 3. Whereas each of the American Funds HLS Funds is a series of the Company, a Maryland corporation, each HIMCO VIT American Fund is a series of the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The members of the Trust’s Board of Trustees differ from the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the HIMCO VIT American Funds also have a different investment adviser. However, each of the HIMCO VIT American Funds will continue to invest all of its assets in the same series of American Funds Insurance Series® as part of a master-feeder structure, so there will be no change in the personnel providing portfolio management services. Each of the American Funds HLS Funds and the HIMCO VIT American Funds are registered as open-end management investment companies, and there will be no difference in the investment management fees borne by shareholders of each HIMCO VIT American Fund from those currently borne by shareholders of the corresponding American Funds HLS Fund.

Q. 4. Will the HIMCO VIT American Funds have the same service providers?

A. 4. No. In addition to the change in investment adviser described above, the HIMCO VIT American Funds will have different service providers, including a different custodian, a different underwriter, a different auditor, and a different entity providing administrative, transfer agency and fund accounting services. Although the expenses related to certain service providers are expected to increase as a result of the Reorganizations, shareholders are not expected to experience any increase in expenses through at least April 30, 2016 due to an expense limitation arrangement. Please see the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for more information.

Q. 5. How does the Board suggest that I vote?

A. 5. After careful consideration, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Reorganization.

Q. 6. Who is eligible to vote?

A. 6. Shareholders of record of the American Funds HLS Funds on the Record Date are receiving the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and are eligible to vote on those proposals relating to those American Funds HLS Funds for which each shareholder holds shares.

Q. 7. Who would bear the costs of the Reorganizations?

A. 7. The costs relating to the Reorganizations will be borne solely by Hartford Investment Management Company, the investment adviser to the HIMCO VIT American Funds, or its affiliates. No such costs shall be borne by the American Funds HLS Funds or the HIMCO VIT American Funds, except for any brokerage fees and brokerage-related expenses that may be incurred in connection with the Reorganizations.

Q. 8. When would the Reorganizations occur?

A. 8. If approved at the Meeting, the Reorganizations are scheduled to occur on or about October 20, 2014, but may occur on such earlier or later date as the parties agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

Q. 9. How would the Reorganizations affect me as a shareholder?

A. 9. Upon the Closing Date, each shareholder of an American Funds HLS Fund would become a shareholder of the corresponding HIMCO VIT American Fund. Specifically, shareholders of Class IB shares of each American Funds HLS Fund would receive Class IB shares of the corresponding HIMCO VIT American Fund that are equal in value to the shares of the American Funds HLS Fund held by the shareholder as of 4:00 p.m. on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Q. 10. What happens if the Reorganizations are not approved?

A. 10. The completion of the Reorganization relating to an American Funds HLS Fund is not contingent upon the completion of the Reorganization relating to any other Fund. If the

required approval of shareholders is not obtained, the Meeting may be adjourned to a later date to permit further solicitation of proxies, as more fully described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. If the Reorganization is not approved, you will remain a shareholder of the applicable American Funds HLS Fund(s) and the Board will take such actions as it deems necessary or appropriate in the best interests of the American Funds HLS Funds’ shareholders based on the facts and circumstances.

Q. 11. If the Reorganization is approved, can I exchange or redeem my shares before the Reorganization takes place?

A. 11. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus (or other disclosure document) for more information on exchange rights and redemption procedures.
