Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

In connection with a proposed registered offering of common stock of ING U.S., Inc. (the “Company”) by ING Group N.V., on October 21, 2013, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”).

The Registration Statement contains the following statements with respect to the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013:

“We currently are in the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Subject to the conduct and completion of our financial closing procedures, we anticipate that our operating earnings before income taxes will be higher, in the aggregate, than the results we reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and that our ongoing business adjusted operating earnings before income taxes will be generally consistent, in the aggregate, with the results we reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures, and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance, with respect to our anticipated third quarter financial results. Our actual results may differ materially from our current expectations due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments, including subsequent events, if any, that may arise between now and the time that the consolidated financial statements for this period are issued. The foregoing information is qualified by, and should be read together with, ‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition’ and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes” included in the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this Item 2.02 is furnished and not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act.
