LINCOLN VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST

Board of Trustees Meeting

October 23, 2025

Resolution No. 2

Approval of Fidelity Bond Coverage

WHEREAS, Management has recommended that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”), approve for the Trust and its series Funds (the “Funds”) the coverage under a fidelity bond issued by Great American Insurance Group (the “Bond”) for the twelve-month period from October 31, 2025 through October 31, 2026; and

WHEREAS, The Board, in evaluating the Bond and each Fund’s premium allocation, has considered relevant factors, including without limitation:

(a)    the value of the aggregate assets of the Funds,

(b)    the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of such assets,

(c)    the nature of the securities and other assets in the Funds’ respective portfolios,

(d)    the number of other parties named as insureds,

(e)    the nature of the business activities of such other parties,

(f)  the amount of the Bond,

(g)    the amount of the premium for the Bond,

(h)    the ratable allocation of the premium among all parties named as insureds, and

(i)  the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to each Fund is less than the premium which such Fund would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the Trust and each Fund to participate in the coverage under the Bond and that the proposed premium allocation to the Trust and each Fund is fair and reasonable based upon relevant factors;

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Board, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of such term as set forth

in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), hereby approves the amount, type, form, and coverage of the Bond and the portion of the premium to be paid by the Trust and each Fund, effective October 31, 2025;

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the officers of the Trust be and hereby are authorized and directed to cause such Trust and its Funds to participate, effective October 31, 2025, in the Bond in the aggregate amount of $3,500,000; and

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the officers of the Trust are hereby authorized and directed to sign the agreement, to make the filings, and to give the notices, required of such Trust by Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.
