Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control
------------------------------------------------------
Registrant is a Maryland corporation for which separate financial
statements are filed. As of June 30, 2000, Aetna Life Insurance and
Annuity Company (Aetna), and its affiliates, owned 98.60% of the
Registrant's outstanding voting securities, through direct ownership or
through one of Aetna's separate accounts.
Aetna is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Inc.
A list of all persons directly or indirectly under common control with
the Registrant and a list which indicates the principal business of each
such company referenced in the diagram are incorporated herein by
reference to Item 26 of the Registration Statement on Form N-14 (File No.
333-37448), as filed electronically with the SEC on May 19, 2000.
Item 25. Indemnification
------------------------
Article 8, Section (d) of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation,
which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (a.1) of this
Post-Effective Amendment, provides for indemnification of directors and
officers. In addition, the Registrant's officers and directors are
currently covered under a directors and officers errors and omissions
liability insurance policy issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company which
expires on October 1, 2002.
Section XI.B of the Administrative Services Agreement, incorporated
herein by reference to Exhibit (h.1) of this Post-Effective Amendment,
provides for indemnification of Aeltus, the Administrator.
Reference is also made to Section 2-418 of the Corporations and
Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland which provides
generally that (1) a corporation may (but is not required to) indemnify
its directors for judgments, fines and expenses in proceedings in which
the director is named a party solely by reason of being a director,
provided the director has not acted in bad faith, dishonestly or
unlawfully, and provided further that the director has not received any
"improper personal benefit"; and (2) that a corporation must (unless
otherwise provided in the corporation's charter or articles of
incorporation) indemnify a director who is successful on the merits in
defending a suit against him by reason of being a director for
"reasonable expenses." The statutory provisions are not exclusive; i.e.,
a corporation may provide greater indemnification rights than those
provided by statute.
