April 7, 2014 -ING U.S., Inc. , ING U.S.'s publicly listed holding company, plans to change its name toVoya Financial, Inc. -
May 1, 2014 -ING U.S. Investment Management will rebrand toVoya Investment Management and the Employee Benefits business will begin using the Voya Financial brand. -
September 1, 2014 - all other ING U.S. businesses will begin using the Voya Financial brand and all remaining ING U.S. legal entities that currently have names incorporating the ING brand will change their names to reflect the Voya brand.
