The following information should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K/A Annual Report of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company filed on April 7, 2006.
As previously reported, like many financial services companies, certain U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), including ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company”) 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. In connection with one such investigation, the Company and its affiliate, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, have been named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation concerning ING’s administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan. ING is cooperating with this regulator to resolve the matter. Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s business.
