contained in the Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and Contract
Prospectus Summaries and replaces the Supplement dated August 21, 2000. You

Effective November 17, 2000, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company's
("ALIAC") broker-dealer subsidiary, Aetna Investment Services, Inc. (which was
subsequently converted to Aetna Investment Services, LLC) ("AIS"), became the
principal underwriter for the securities sold under the prospectus. AIS, a
Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. AIS is also a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation. AIS' principal office is located at 151 Farmington Avenue,
Hartford, Connecticut 06156. ALIAC is no longer a registered broker-dealer.

On December 13, 2000, ALIAC and Aetna Insurance Company of America ("AICA")
became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). ING is a
global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and
asset management. The terms of your contract will not be affected by this change
in ownership. In the future, you may begin to see the use of the ING lion logo
on our printed materials.

ITEM 26.  PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR
          REGISTRANT

     Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 of Post-Effective Amendment
No. 44 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 (File No. 33-34370), as
filed on December 13, 2000.

ITEM 27.  NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

     As of October 31, 2000, there were 583,777 individuals holding interests
in variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C.

ITEM 28.  INDEMNIFICATION

Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") provides that a
corporation may provide indemnification of or advance expenses to a director,
officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections 33-770 to 33-778,
inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the
CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS
regarding indemnification of officers, employees and agents of Connecticut
corporations. These statutes provide in general that Connecticut corporations
incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their
certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their
directors, officers, employees and agents against "liability" (defined as the
obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise
tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses
incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made
pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking

<PAGE>

indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771
or (2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to
Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the
authorization for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested
directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c) by
the shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent
or employee of the corporation, by the general counsel of the corporation or
such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. Also, Section
33-772 provides that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who was
wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to which he was a party
because he was a director of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d),
in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or with
respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was
adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he
was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the
individual was named a party.

The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, Aetna Inc. has procured
insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States and
international excess insurers for its directors and officers and the directors
and officers of its subsidiaries, including the Depositor.

ITEM 30.  LOCATION OF ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS

     All accounts, books and other documents required to be maintained by
Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules under it relating to the securities
described in and issued under this Registration Statement are located at the
home office of the Depositor as follows:

                     Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
                     151 Farmington Avenue
                     Hartford, Connecticut 06156

ITEM 31.  MANAGEMENT SERVICES

     Not applicable

ITEM 32.  UNDERTAKINGS

     Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration
         statement on Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the
         audited financial statements in the registration statement are never
         more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable
         annuity contracts may be accepted;

     (b) to include as part of any application to purchase a
         contract offered by a prospectus which is part of this registration
         statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a
         Statement of Additional Information; and

     (c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any
         financial statements required to be made available under this Form N-4
         promptly upon written or oral request.

<PAGE>

     (d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and
         complies with the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC
         Staff's No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to
         language concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans
         established pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
         See American Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No- Action Letter, [1988 WL
         1235221 *13 (S.E.C.)].

     (e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the
         Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
         controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
         opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
         is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
         is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
         connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
         unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
         controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
         the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public
         policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
         adjudication of such issue.

     (f) Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that
         the fees and charges deducted under the contracts covered by this
         registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to
         the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the
         risks assumed by the insurance company.
