    ING Financial Services LLC 401(k) Savings Plan

    New York, NY

    Opinion on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the ING Financial Services LLC 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2024, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Basis for Opinion

    These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

    Notes to Financial Statements

    December 31, 2024 and 2023

     

    1.

    Description of Plan

    The following description of the ING Financial Services LLC 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

    General

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan, which is sponsored by ING Financial Services LLC (the “Company” or “Employer”), covering substantially all employees of the Company and its participating affiliates and subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

    Eligibility and Participation

    Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Any employee, as defined by the Plan, who regularly works more than 21 hours per week (a “Full-Time” employee), is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month after commencing employment with the Company. Any employee who regularly works less than 21 hours per week (a “Part-Time” employee) is eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first day of the month after completing one year of service. One year of service means the completion of 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month period. Excluded employees include an employee of an affiliated company that is not a participating company, an employee seconded to a participating company by an affiliate company for a temporary period of service, a leased employee, and an individual who was hired for a specified fixed time period and whose employment has not been changed to a permanent status.

    Benefits

    Employees participating in the Plan, or their beneficiaries, are eligible to receive benefit payments upon termination of service or by reason of death, permanent disability, normal retirement at or after age 65 or early retirement. Such benefit payments are based on the participant’s vested interest in the fair value of the net assets of the Plan. Upon such termination of service, participants have the option of receiving the value of their account balance either as a lump sum or in monthly installments over a fixed period of years.

    Contributions

    Eligible employees who elect to participate in the Plan agree to contribute 1% to 100% of their eligible salaries, as defined. The Company’s contributions are equal to 100% of the employees’ participating contributions up to 6% of the eligible compensation. The Plan permits the participants to contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax and/or post-tax basis. In addition, employees who are age 50 or older are permitted to make additional contributions. The Plan also provides a “rollover” provision for employees receiving distributions from a qualified plan of a former employer. The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby all newly eligible and rehired employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Automatically enrolled participants have their deferral rate set at 6% of eligible compensation, and their contributions are invested in a designated fund until changed by the participant and their deferrals are also automatically increased by 1% annually, up to a maximum of 10% of compensation.

    In 2019, the Company added a match true-up amendment to ensure employees get the maximum match available under the Plan. In the event the match as calculated on periodic payroll cycles results in a shortfall of match due to changes in contribution percentages, the Company will calculate and contribute the difference between the Company match contributions for the Plan year and apply such shortfall in Company contribution to the participant’s deferral contributions and compensation for the entire Plan year and the Company contribution funded during the Plan year if the participant is employed as of the last day of the Plan year.

    Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Service (“IRS’) limitations.

    Investments Elections

    A participant may elect to direct the employee and employer contributions to each, or any investment fund specified in multiples of 1%. Changes in the proportion of contributions and transfers between funds are also permissible, subject to certain restrictions as defined in the Plan.

    Table of Contents

    Vesting

    Participants are fully vested in their contributions and earnings thereon. Employees will be 25% vested in the Company match portion of their account with each year of service they complete and fully vested after four years of service.

    Forfeitures

    Forfeitures from non-vested participants’ accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions or to pay for administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $140,855 and $393,308, respectively. During 2024, $138,096 of the forfeitures was used to pay certain administrative expenses and $505,674 was used to reduce Company contributions.

    Revenue Sharing

    The Plan receives revenue credits from the funds managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company quarterly. The revenue credit account can be used to pay plan expenses or can be allocated to eligible plan participants as defined in the agreement. Revenue earned from this agreement is recorded as other income amount in the statement of changes of net assets available for benefits. The Plan received approximately $167,000 of revenue credits during 2024, approximately $143,000 of which were allocated to eligible Plan participants and $23,000 of which were used to pay plan expenses. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately $60,000 and $51,000, respectively, remains in the revenue credit account. Any excess revenue over the Plan expenses during the year will be used to pay future Plan expenses or allocated to eligible plan participants.

    Participant Accounts

    Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and the related Company contributions. Plan earnings and losses are allocated to participant accounts based upon account balances.

    Payment of Benefits

    Prior to termination of service, a portion of a participant’s contributions may be withdrawn under financial hardship upon written notice in such form as prescribed by the Benefits Committee. Upon withdrawing from the Plan, participants generally receive a full disbursement of their vested account balances. Any participant who has not attained the age of 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% penalty and applicable income taxes. Upon termination of employment, a participant may receive a distribution of the value of his/her account. Upon the death of a participant, the value of such participant’s account shall be distributed to his/her beneficiary. Participants with vested account balances of less than $5,000 will be automatically cashed out if terminated. Any distribution greater than $1,000 that is made to a participant without the participant’s consent before the participant’s normal retirement age will be rolled into an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan administrator. The value of any distribution will be determined as of the valuation date coinciding with or immediately following the participant’s termination of employment.

    Notes Receivable from Participants

    Participants may request a loan from the Plan up to 50% of their vested account balance, to a maximum of $50,000 with a minimum loan amount of $1,000. Interest is charged to participants based on the prime rate plus 2%, or other such rate as determined by the Plan administrator. A participant may have no more than two loans outstanding at a time. A maximum of 60 months is allowed for all loan repayments with the exception of purchasing a home, when the amortization period can extend to 120 months. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions and repayment begins the first pay period after disbursement of the loan. Loan defaults or non-repayment of loan balances by participants are reported as taxable distributions from the loan fund. Interest rates on loans outstanding at December 31, 2024 ranged from 5.25% to 10.50%.

    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Accounting

    The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

    Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and the disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Risk and Uncertainties

    Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit risk and overall market volatility. Market risks include global events which could impact the value of investment securities, such as a pandemic or international conflict. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and those changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in these financial statements.

     

    -7-


    Table of Contents

    The Plan’s exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of investments across participant-directed fund elections. Additionally, the investments within each participant-directed fund election are further diversified into varied financial instruments, with the exception of the Employer stock fund, which principally invests in a single security.

    At December 31, 2024, approximately 27 percent and 16 percent of the Plan’s investments were invested in the Fidelity 500 Index fund and Harbor Capital Appreciation CIT 2 fund, respectively.

    Investment Valuation and Income (Loss) Recognition

    The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of financial instruments is what would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

    Contributions

    Contributions from participants and the matching contributions from the Employer are recorded in the year in which the employee contributions are withheld from compensation.

    Notes Receivable from Participants

    Notes receivable from participants are stated at their unpaid principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Loans outstanding are reflected as a receivable of the Plan. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced, and a benefit payment is recorded.

    Payment of Benefits

    Benefit are recorded when paid.

    Administrative Expenses

    Plan provisions allow for administrative expenses, including, but not limited to, audit fees, custodial and trustee fees, investment manager fees, and recordkeeping fees to be paid by the Plan and allocated to participant accounts. Any expenses not borne by the Plan are paid by the Company.

    Fair Value Measurements

    GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy provides the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy under GAAP are described as follows:

    Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market asset or liability is a market in which the transaction for the asset or liability occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

    Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as a quoted price for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are active, or model-derived valuation or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full terms of the assets or liabilities.

    Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

    The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

    The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

    Employer Stock Fund: The Employer stock fund is measured using the unit value calculated from the observable market price of the stock plus the cash of the short-term investment fund, which approximates fair value.

     

    -8-


    Table of Contents

    Mutual Funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded (Level 1 measurements).

    Common Collective Trust Funds: The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund and the Harbor Capital Appreciation CIT 2 are common collective trust funds that are valued at the net asset value using NAV as the practical expedient based on the last reported sales price of the underlying investments held. The Plan’s interest in the common collective trusts was based on information reported by the trustee using the audited financial statements of the common collective trusts at year-end. The investment income (loss) was allocated to participants based on their proportionate share of the net assets of the fund.

    The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value at the reporting date.

    The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s investments at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value to the amounts presented in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

    Fair value of investments, other than Level 1, in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent) follows:

    Tax Status

    The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated October 11, 2017, that the Plan and the related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

    GAAP requires plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of such tax positions are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

     

    5.

    Related Party and Party-In-Interest Transactions

    The recordkeeping and custody functions for the underlying investments held by the Plan are performed by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Certain investments of the Plan are shares of mutual funds advised by affiliates of Fidelity Management Trust Company. Another investment in the Plan is an investment fund comprised primarily of shares of common stock (“Employer stock fund”) issued by ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is the ultimate parent of the Company as defined by the Plan. The Plan held 409,479.941 and 493,373.111 shares valued at $6,418,512 and $7,410,464 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, dividends of $492,229 were received by the Plan from the Company and the Plan purchased 55,826.596 shares and sold 139,719.766 shares.

    Additionally, the Plan issues notes to participants, which are secured by the balance in the participants’ accounts. All of these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

     

    6.

    Plan Termination

    While the Company has not expressed any intention to do so, the Plan may be terminated or partially terminated, or contributions under the Plan may be partially or completely terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event of such termination of the Plan, affected participants would become 100% vested and the assets remaining shall be distributed to participants, former participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balance at the date of termination, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

     

    7.

    Subsequent Events

    The Plan has evaluated, for consideration of recognition or disclosure, subsequent events that have occurred through the date of issuance, and has determined that no significant events occurred after December 31, 2024, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements, that would have a material impact on its financial statements.
