RELIASTAR COMMON STOCK VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM
RELIASTAR SUCCESS SHARING PLAN AND ESOP
I hereby instruct The Northern Trust Company, the Trustee of the ReliaStar
Success Sharing Plan and ESOP ("Plan"), to vote my interest in the shares of
ReliaStar common stock held in the Plan as of the close of business on June 16,
2000, at the Special Meeting of ReliaStar Financial Corp. to be held on July 27,
2000, and any adjournment thereof, in the manner directed by telephone, by
internet or on this form with respect to the proposals described in the
accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
I understand that my instructions by telephone, Internet or as marked on this
form must be received by the Trustee by 5 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on July
25, 2000. I also acknowledge receipt of the proxy materials for the Special
Meeting.
I understand that if no instruction is indicated by telephone, internet or on
this voting instruction form, the Trustee will vote the shares of ReliaStar
common stock allocated to my account under the Plan held in the ReliaStar common
stock fund (the "Company Stock Investment Fund") on the proposal shown on this
instruction form proportionally in accordance with instructions received from
other Plan participants with respect to shares of ReliaStar common stock held in
the Company Stock Investment Fund unless to do so would be inconsistent with the
Trustee's duties under applicable law. In addition to the foregoing, I also
understand that all unallocated shares of ReliaStar common stock held in the
Company Stock Investment Fund under the Plan shall be voted by the Trustee
proportionately in the same manner as it votes shares of ReliaStar common stock
as to which the Trustee has received voting instructions from participants under
the Plan unless to do so would be inconsistent with the Trustee's duties under
applicable law.
See reverse for voting instructions.
