PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

During the year ended February 28, 2026, the Fund's Class A shares distributed total dividends of $0.79, which were characterized as $0.01 per share return of capital and $0.78 per share net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate⁽¹⁾of 7.27%. The Fund's Class C shares distributed total dividends of $0.74, which were characterized as $0.01 per share return of capital and $0.73 per share net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate⁽¹⁾ of 6.77%. The Fund's Class I shares, distributed total dividends of $0.81, which were characterized as $0.01 per share return of capital and $0.80 per share net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate⁽¹⁾ of 7.51%. The Fund's Class W shares, distributed total dividends of $0.82, which were characterized as $0.01 per share return of capital and $0.81 per share net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate⁽¹⁾ of 7.52%.

The Fund’s total return for the year ended February 28, 2026, excluding sales charges and based on full reinvestment of dividends, for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class W was 4.98%, 4.45%, 5.34%, and 5.35% respectively.⁽²⁾For the same period, the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”)⁽³⁾had a total return of 3.93%.

Portfolio Specifics: Looking back on the fiscal period ended February 28, 2026, we believe, financial markets were resilient despite a growing list of challenges. Some notable headlines included tariff and policy uncertainty, heightened geopolitical conflicts, and a record-long U.S. government shutdown that limited the availability of important economic indicators. Early in the period, uncertainty built around the timing and scope of trade policy, peaking on “Liberation Day” in early April. The unexpected announcement of reciprocal tariffs triggered a sharp spike in volatility, prompting a rapid selloff in risk assets, a widening of credit spreads, and a temporary lull in primary issuance as, in our view, investors reassessed growth, inflation, and policy risks. In the weeks that followed, markets mounted a gradual recovery as fears of a sustained trade shock receded, supported by a pause in tariffs and de-escalation in trade tensions with China and other major partners. The momentum continued through the summer, but volatility re-emerged towards the end of 2025 and in early 2026 following political gridlock in Washington and rising geopolitical tensions. Meanwhile, credit markets navigated their own turbulence. First, a handful of high-profile bankruptcies raised concerns about looser lending standards and systemic risk (though reaction proved to be contained as tail risk metrics stabilized). Later, worries grew over an artificial intelligence (“AI”) valuation bubble and disruption risk, elevated technology multiples, and the scale of debt issuance required to fund data center investments. While these concerns dominated headlines and resulted in periodic volatility, markets were largely on solid footing for most of the fiscal timeframe and delivered positive returns across both fixed income and equities. A supportive monetary and fiscal backdrop, stable consumer spending, and AI-driven capital expenditure underpinned performance.

⁽¹⁾The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the dividends and distributions declared during the last month of the period (i.e., divide the current month’s dividend by the number of days in the related month and multiply by the number of days in the fiscal year) and then dividing the resulting figure by the reporting period-end NAV. The distribution rate is based solely on the actual dividends and distributions, which are made at the discretion of management. The distribution rate includes distributions from net investment income and return of capital, but does not include capital gains or losses.

⁽²⁾Total returns shown include, if applicable, the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by Voya Investments, LLC. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

⁽³⁾ The Index is an unmanaged total return index that captures accrued interest, repayments, and market value changes. It represents a broad cross section of leveraged loans syndicated in the United States, including dollar-denominated loans to overseas issuers. Morningstar and the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (“LSTA”) conceived the Index to establish a performance benchmark for the syndicated leveraged loan industry. The Index is not subject to any fees or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Voya Credit Income Fund

Portfolio Managers’ Report

The underperformance of senior loans reflects the move lower in base rates and continued compression in nominal spreads due to loan repricings, along with developing sectoral themes related to software which came under pressure in early 2026 due to AI disruption risks. Meanwhile, the high yield (“HY”) market was boosted by declining Treasury yields and was relatively insulated from the weakness in the software sector given its relatively modest exposure. On a credit quality basis, there was a clear preference towards higher quality credits within both markets, although this dynamic was far more pronounced within loans. BB, B, and CCC rated loans returned 5.62%, 3.80% and – 4.63%, respectively, while BB, B, and CCC rated bonds delivered respective returns of 8.01%, 6.64%, and 6.05%. CCC rated loans were under sustained pressure for much of the period, and despite the overall solid performance from the right tail within HY, single-name risk coupled with secular industry challenges resulted in elevated dispersion across industries and individual credits.

Security selection impact was positive as the portfolio benefited from selection within technology where it maintained an underweight position and cautious stance within software issuers. Other positive but more modest contributors included selection in packaging and HY bond issuers within cable and satellite and midstream. Asset allocation impact detracted as the fund was overweight to loans throughout the year. Meanwhile, the Fund’s modest collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) holdings detracted from results, as floating products generally underperformed fixed-rate bonds.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our view, the medium-term setup for leveraged credit markets remains constructive. On the whole, we believe the market is supported by supportive technical factors, stable fundamental factors, below historical average payment defaults, and still-elevated yields that will continue to attract investors. However, the risk of AI disruption will likely continue to negatively affect investor sentiment in certain segments of the market and heighten volatility in the near term. We will continue to pay close attention to the increased possibility of policy error, price discovery challenges related to AI developments, and ongoing geopolitical events that could shift inflation and monetary policy expectations, as the conflict in Iran has injected increased uncertainty into global markets. The prevailing view so far is that a prolonged conflict could drive oil prices higher, reinforcing global inflationary pressures and potentially limiting the U.S. Federal Reserve’s ability to cut rates. Importantly, we remain highly disciplined in our credit selection while executing opportunistic and proactive trading to capitalize on potential market dislocations as volatility and drawdowns continue.

In terms of asset allocation, we remain overweight to loans, which continue to have a carry advantage over HY. By ratings, we are underweight the “right tail” of the market and maintain a single-B average credit profile, while staying focused on name-specific risk given the increased bifurcation in performance among borrowers. With policy uncertainty and tight spreads remaining a key theme in the market, we maintain our preference for more defensive business models and balance sheets, such as capital goods, and select areas of healthcare and financials. We maintain our cautious stance within software, consumer cyclicals, chemicals and structurally challenged media and telecom business models. Within energy, we favor midstream over exploration and production and natural gas over oil.

	Ratings Distribution as of February 28, 2026
	BB or above			28.32%
	B			63.94%
	CCC or below			1.03%
	Not rated^*			6.71%
	Loan ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself. Ratings distribution shows the percentage of the Fund’s loan commitments (excluding cash and foreign cash) that are rated in each ratings category, based upon the categories provided by Standard & Poor. Ratings distribution is based on Standard & Poor’s senior secured facility ratings. The Standard & Poor’s rating scale is as follows, from excellent (high grade) to poor (including default): AAA to D, with intermediate ratings offered at each level between AA and CCC. Anything lower than a BBB-rating is considered a non-investment grade or junk bond. Any security that is not rated by Standard & Poor’s is placed in the NR (Not Rated) category. Ratings can change from time to time, and current ratings may not fully reflect the actual credit condition or risks posed by a loan.
	* Not rated includes loans to non-U.S. borrowers (which are typically unrated) and loans for which the rating has been withdrawn.

The views expressed in this commentary are informed opinions. They should not be considered promises or advice. The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio managers’ views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. Fund holdings are subject to change daily. The outlook for this Fund may differ from that presented for other Voya mutual funds. This report contains statements that may be “forward-looking” statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the “forward-looking” statements. The Fund’s performance returns shown reflect applicable fee waivers and/or expense limits in effect during this period. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class. An index has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

⁽¹⁾

Yield is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net investment income per share for the most recent thirty days by the net asset value. Yield calculations do not include any commissions or sales charges, and are compounded for six months and annualized for a twelve-month period to derive the Fund’s yield consistent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) standardized yield formula.

⁽²⁾

The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the dividends declared during the last month of the period (i.e., divide the current month’s dividend by the number of days in the related month and multiply by the number of days in the fiscal year) and then dividing the resulting figure by the reporting period-end NAV. The distribution rate is based solely on the actual dividends and distributions, which are made at the discretion of management. The distribution rate includes distributions from net investment income and return of capital, but does not include capital gains or losses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Voya Credit Income Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Voya Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of February 28, 2026, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the seven years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at February 28, 2026, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the seven years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period ended February 28, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated April 26, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Voya Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a continuously-offered, diversified, closed-end, management investment company. Effective April 2, 2001, the Fund commenced the offering of Class A and Class C shares to the public. Effective April 15, 2008, the Fund commenced the offering of Class I and Class W shares to the public.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: A, C, I and W. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 2.50%. Effective June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 are not subject to a sales charge but are subject to an Early Withdrawal Charge (“EWC”) of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase. Prior to June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 were not subject to a sales charge but were subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within six months of purchase. Class C shares are subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase.

Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund, after a holding period of 8 years from date of purchase.

To maintain a measure of liquidity, the Fund will offer to repurchase not less than 5% of its outstanding Common Shares on a monthly basis. This is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may not offer to repurchase more than 25% of its outstanding Common Shares in any calendar quarter. Other than these monthly repurchases, no market for the Fund’s Common Shares is expected to exist. The separate classes of shares differ principally in their distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in the per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the share classes, if any.

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”),

a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A. Senior Loan and Other Security Valuation. The Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of the Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and the Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Fund assets, the asset is priced at its fair

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or the Fund’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund.

The Fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date.

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are

not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions and senior loans are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis at the then-current loan rate. The accrual of interest on loans is partially or fully discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. If determined to be uncollectible, unpaid accrued interest is also written off. Cash collections on non-accrual senior loans are generally applied as a reduction to the recorded investment of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

loan. Senior loans are generally returned to accrual status only after all past due amounts have been received and the borrower has demonstrated sustained performance. Premium amortization and discount accretion are deferred and recognized over the lives of the respective loans. Arrangement fees received on revolving credit facilities, which represent non-refundable fees or purchase discounts associated with the acquisition of loans, are deferred and recognized using the effective yield method over the shorter of four years or the actual term of the loan. No such fees are recognized on loans which have been placed on non-accrual status. Arrangement fees associated with all other loans, except revolving credit facilities, are treated as discounts and are accreted as described above. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Amendment fees and other fees earned are reported as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)

Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.

(2)

Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar

equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a currency forward foreign contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented within the respective Portfolio of Investments.

The Fund did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts for the year ended February 28, 2026.

E. When-Issued Delayed-Delivery. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward purchase commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. Due to the nature of the Senior Loan market, the actual settlement date may not be certain at the time of the purchase or sale for some of the Senior Loans. Interest income on such Senior Loans is not accrued until settlement date.

F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a U.S. federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Fund’s tax positions taken on U.S. federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

The Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

G. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund declares and goes ex-dividend daily and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Fund may make additional distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The character and amounts of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.

H. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

I. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the year ended February 28, 2026, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from principal repayment and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, totaled $72,366,696 and $95,202,925, respectively. At February 28, 2026, the Fund held senior loans valued at $69,507,694 representing 55.22% of its total investments. The fair value of these assets is established as set forth in Note 2.

The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower, and are typically acquired through an assignment of another lender’s interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors the collateral securing the loan. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

Warrants and shares of common stock held in the portfolio were acquired in conjunction with loans held by the Fund. Certain of these shares and warrants are restricted and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act, or without an exemption under the 1933 Act. In some cases, these restrictions expire after a designated period of time after the issuance of the shares or warrants.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Fund, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. For purposes of the Management Agreement, managed assets (“Managed Assets”) are defined as the Fund’s average daily gross asset value, minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued and unpaid dividends on any outstanding Preferred Shares and accrued liabilities (other than liabilities for the principal amount of any borrowings incurred, commercial paper or notes issued by the Fund and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Shares).

The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Fund and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily Managed Assets of the Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

Class A and Class C shares of the Fund have adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, is compensated by the Fund for expenses incurred in the distribution of the Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for actual expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 plans, each class of shares of the Fund pays the Distributor a combined Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

	Class A				Class C
	0.25%				0.75%

The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares, and the EWC paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions/repurchases for Class A shares and Class C shares. For the year ended February 28, 2026, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

	Class A
Initial Sales Charges:	$	287
EWC’s:	$	—

NOTE 6 — EXPENSE LIMITATIONS

The Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business, expenses of any counsel or other persons or services retained by the Fund’s Board members who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, and acquired fund fees and expenses, to the following:

Class A — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.45% of average daily net assets

Class C — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.95% of average daily net assets

Class I — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

Class W — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

Pursuant to a side letter agreement through July 1, 2026, the Investment Adviser has further lowered the expense limits to the following. Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.

Class A — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.45% of average daily net assets

Class C — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.95% of average daily net assets

Class I — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

Class W — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

Unless otherwise specified above, the Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Fund for fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees and any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of February 28, 2026, there are no amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser.

The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through July 1, 2026. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS

Effective June 28, 2025, the Fund has entered into a 364-day revolving credit agreement, collateralized by assets of the Fund, to borrow up to $40 million maturing June 27, 2026. Borrowing rates under this agreement are based on a fixed spread over SOFR, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion. Prior to June 28, 2025, the predecessor credit agreement was for $40 million maturing June 27, 2025. There was $30.2 million of borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2026. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at February 28, 2026 was 4.80%, excluding fees related to the unused portion of the facilities, and other fees. The amount of borrowings represented 23.20% of total assets as of February 28, 2026. Prepaid arrangement fees are amortized over the term of the agreement and are included in other assets of the statement of assets and liabilities. Average borrowings for the year ended February 28, 2026

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS (continued)

were $28,793,682 and the average annualized interest rate was 5.61%.

NOTE 8 — SENIOR LOAN COMMITMENTS

As of February 28, 2026, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments pursuant to the terms of the following loan agreements:

Loan	Unfunded Loan Commitment
Chicago US Midco III LP Delayed Draw Term Loan	$	25,216

USALCO LLC 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loan		22,885
	$	201,528

NOTE 9 — TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from

NOTE 11 — CAPITAL SHARES

Transactions in capital shares and dollars were as follows:

the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Fund purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

During the year ended February 28, 2026, Credit Income incurred $39,800 of proxy and solicitation costs associated with an investment strategy and change.

NOTE 10 — SUBORDINATED LOANS AND UNSECURED LOANS

The primary risk arising from investing in subordinated loans or in unsecured loans is the potential loss in the event of default by the issuer of the loans. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets, measured at the time of investment, in subordinated loans, unsecured debt instruments and other investments, as directed by the Prospectus. As of February 28, 2026, the Fund held no subordinated loans or unsecured loans.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their U.S. federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of paydowns. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

Year Ended February 28, 2026				Year Ended February 28, 2025
Ordinary Income		Return of Capital		Ordinary Income
$	8,151,022	$	75,884	$	9,652,120

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of February 28, 2026, were:

Unrealized Appreciation/			Capital Loss Carryforwards							Total Distributable
(Depreciation)			Amount			Character	Other			Earnings/(Loss)
$	(1,120,248	)	$	(14,206,740	)	Short-term	$	(330,767	)	$	(125,321,666	)
				(109,663,911	)	Long-term
			$	(123,870,651	)

The Fund’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.

As of February 28, 2026, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.

NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK

The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, trade disputes, tariffs and other restrictions on trade or economic sanctions, rapid technological developments (such as artificial intelligence technologies), and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines

in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Military action by Russia in Ukraine, the prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, the Iranian conflict that commenced in February 2026, and political upheaval in Venezuela have resulted, and may continue to result, in sanctions, market disruptions, declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets, and disruptions to energy production or transportation, including through key shipping routes, any of which could adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of February 28, 2026 (continued)

NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK (continued)

Fund’s direct exposure to issuers in the affected regions. The escalation or expansion of hostilities including the involvement of additional nations, could introduce further uncertainty and volatility in global energy, commodity, and financial markets. The extent and duration of these conflicts, related sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict but could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers. Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence (“AI”), may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of AI. As AI is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which AI operates continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENT REPORTING

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about segment expenses. Adoption of ASU 2023-07, impacts financial statement disclosure only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or operating results.

Topic 280 defines an operating segment as a component

of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. The Fund has one operating segment that derives its income from earnings on its investments. The Product Review Committee (the “Committee”) of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates is deemed to be the CODM. The Committee is comprised of executive leaders and it reviews the operating results of the Fund holistically. The CODM considers changes in net assets from operations, expense ratios, total returns and fund composition to make resource allocation decisions. Detailed financial information regarding the Fund is disclosed within these financial statements with total assets and liabilities disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, investments held on the Portfolio of Investments, results of operations on the Statement of Operations and other information about the Fund’s performance, including total return, portfolio turnover and expense ratios within the Financial Highlights.

NOTE 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

The Fund has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances income tax disclosures, including providing specific categories in rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Upon evaluation, the adoption of the new accounting standard does not materially impact the financial statement amounts or disclosures.

A special meeting of shareholders is scheduled for May 19, 2026. The Board also approved, effective on or about June 26, 2026 (the “Effective Date”): (i) changing the Fund’s principal investment strategies, including changes to investments included within the scope of the Fund’s policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its assets in investments in accordance with the investment focus that its name suggests (the “80% Investment Policy”), principal risks, and portfolio managers and (ii) eliminating the Fund’s performance benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The approved changes allow for substantial investments in private credit. On the Effective Date, for purposes of the 80% Investment Policy, credit sectors include, without limitation, private credit (including direct lending and asset-backed lending), asset-based finance, securitized credit (including collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and mortgage derivatives), public credit, commercial mortgage loans, emerging market debt, corporate debt instruments, loans, and high-yield debt instruments.

The Fund has evaluated events occurring after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Trust under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the Independent Trustee or otherwise comply under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer required (as determined by a vote of a majority of the other Independent Trustees).

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT

At a meeting held on November 13, 2025, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contract (the “Management Contract”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Fund, and the sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contract, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2026.

In addition to the Board meeting on November 13, 2025, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 16, 2025 and November 11, 2025. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.

The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.

The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually

recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the registered fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for the Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on the Fund’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process.

The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was not deemed to be material to the Board’s considerations.

Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund as set forth in the Management Contract, including oversight of the Fund’s operations and risk management and the oversight of its various other service providers.

The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Fund under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser. The Board also noted that the Manager actively monitors any discount from net asset value per share at which the Fund’s common stock trades and, when it deems it appropriate to do so, evaluates potential ways to mitigate any such discount, including the level of distributions that the Fund pays.

Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for the Fund are complied with on a consistent basis.

The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund and the level of resources committed to the Fund (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Fund.

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.

Fund Performance

In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of the Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”) category (Morningstar is an independent provider of registered fund data) and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of the Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment

return information, from the Fund’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.

The Board also recognized the limitations inherent in comparing the Fund’s performance to a benchmark index due to the Fund’s pursuit of an investment strategy that is not tied directly to an index. The Board also recognized the inherent limitations in comparing performance of peer funds utilizing leverage in light of, among other things, the impacts due to the level and type of leverage utilized and when peer funds entered into their leverage arrangements (which can impact pricing and, therefore, cost and performance).

Economies of Scale

When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedule, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser if and when the Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. The Board considered that, while the Fund does not have management fee breakpoints, it has fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager could be shared with the Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions.

Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients

The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from the Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.

Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by the Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for the Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered the fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

by the Fund, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. The Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.

The Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to the Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing the Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Fund and any revenue sharing payments made by, or other distribution-related expenses incurred by, the Manager.

Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Fund’s operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a registered fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks. The Board also considered that, in comparison to certain other products managed by the Manager, including open-end funds, there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing closed-end funds, such as the Fund, including those associated with less liquid holdings.

The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Fund. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association

with the Fund. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Fund and the Manager’s and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.

Fund Analysis

Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 16, 2025, November 11, 2025, and/or November 13, 2025 meetings in relation to approving the Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2025. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 16, 2025, November 11, 2025, and/or November 13, 2025 meetings certain additional data regarding the Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. The Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.

In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for the Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2025: (1) the Fund is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, the third quintile for the one-year period, and the fifth quintile for the three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods; and (2) the Fund underperformed its performance benchmark for all periods presented.

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Fund’s performance during certain periods.

In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the Fund’s net management fee rate is ranked in the first quintile; (b) the Fund’s contractual management fee rate is ranked in the first quintile; and (c) the Fund’s net expense ratio is ranked in the first quintile.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

Board Conclusions

After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information

provided and management's related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to the Fund’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, each Board member may have accorded different weight to various factors in reaching his or her conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2026.

(e)(1)	Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Appendix A

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

Statement of Principles

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the Voya funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.

For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.

The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.

II.

Audit Services

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval. Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide. They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing). The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.

The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A. The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.

III.

Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors. The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR.

The Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services listed on Appendix B. The Committee must specifically approve all audit-related services not listed on Appendix B.

IV.

Tax Services

The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence. Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommend a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult

outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.

The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C. The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.

Other Services

The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund. The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.

The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D. The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.

VI.

Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts

The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval. The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services. The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).

VII.

Procedures

Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management. If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee. Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on a quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided for the previous calendar quarter on a cumulative basis by the auditors during the Pre-Approval Period.

VIII.

Delegation

The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.

IX.

Additional Requirements

The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent withPCAOB Rule 3526, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

PROXY VOTING Policy

VOYA FUNDS

VOYA iNVESTMENTS, LLC

Date Last Revised: February 5, 2025

Introduction

This document sets forth the proxy voting procedures (“Procedures”) and guidelines (“Guidelines”), collectively the “Proxy Voting Policy”, that Voya Investments, LLC (“Adviser”) shall follow when voting proxies on behalf of the Voya funds for which it serves as investment adviser (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees (“Board”) have approved the Proxy Voting Policy.

The Board may determine to delegate proxy voting to a sub-adviser of one or more Funds (rather than to the Adviser) in which case the sub-adviser’s proxy policies and procedures for implementation on behalf of such Fund (a “Sub-Adviser-Voted Fund”) shall be subject to Board approval. Sub-Adviser-Voted Funds are not covered under the Proxy Voting Policy except as described in the Reporting and Record Retention section below relating to vote reporting requirements. Sub-Adviser-Voted Funds are governed by the applicable sub-adviser’s respective proxy policies provided that the Board has approved such policies.

The Proxy Voting Policy incorporates principles and guidance set forth in relevant pronouncements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its staff regarding the Adviser’s fiduciary duty to ensure that proxies are voted in a timely manner and that voting decisions are always in the Funds’ best interest.

Pursuant to the Policy, the Adviser’s Active Ownership team (“AO Team”) is delegated the responsibility to vote the Funds’ proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy on the Funds’ behalf.

The engagement of a Proxy Advisory Firm (as defined in the Proxy Advisory Firm section below) shall be subject to the Board’s initial approval and annual Board review and approval thereafter. The AO Team is responsible for Proxy Advisory Firm oversight and shall direct the Proxy Advisory Firm to vote proxies in accordance with the Guidelines.

The Board’s Compliance Committee (“Compliance Committee”) shall review the Proxy Voting Policy not less than annually and these documents shall be updated as appropriate. No material changes to the Proxy Voting Policy shall become effective without Board approval. The Compliance Committee may approve non-material amendments for immediate implementation subject to full Board ratification at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Adviser’s Roles and Responsibilities

Active Ownership Team

The AO Team shall direct the Proxy Advisory Firm to vote proxies on the Funds’ and Adviser’s behalf in connection with annual and special shareholder meetings (except those regarding bankruptcy matters and/or related plans of reorganization).

The AO Team is responsible for overseeing the Proxy Advisory Firm and voting the Funds’ proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy on the Funds’ and the Adviser’s behalf.

The AO Team is authorized to direct the Proxy Advisory Firm to vote Fund proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy. Responsibilities assigned to the AO Team or activities in support thereof may be performed by such members of the Proxy Committee (as defined in the Proxy Committee section below) or employees of the Adviser’s affiliates as the Proxy Committee deems appropriate.

The AO Team is also responsible for identifying potential conflicts between the proxy issuer and the Proxy Advisory Firm, the Adviser, the Funds’ principal underwriters, or an affiliated person of the Funds. The AO Team shall identify such potential conflicts of interest based on information the Proxy Advisory Firm periodically provides; analyses of Voya’s clients, distributors, broker-dealers, and vendors; and information derived from other sources including but not limited to public filings.

Proxy Committee

The Proxy Committee shall ensure that the Funds vote proxies consistent with the Proxy Voting Policy. The Proxy Committee accordingly reviews and evaluates this Policy, oversees the development and implementation thereof, and resolves ad hoc issues that may arise from time to time. The Proxy Committee is comprised of senior leaders of Voya Investment Management, including fundamental research, ESG

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

research, active ownership, compliance, legal, finance, and operations of the Adviser. The Proxy Committee membership may be amended at the Adviser’s discretion from time to time. The Board will be informed of any membership changes quarterly at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

Investment Professionals

The Funds’ sub-advisers and/or portfolio managers are each referred to herein as an “Investment Professional” and collectively, “Investment Professionals”. Investment Professionals are encouraged to submit recommendations to the AO Team regarding any proxy voting-related proposals relating to the portfolio securities over which they have daily portfolio management responsibility including proxy contests, proposals relating to issuers with dual class shares with superior voting rights, and/or mergers and acquisitions.

Proxy Advisory Firm

The Proxy Advisory Firm is required to coordinate with the Funds’ custodians to ensure that those firms process all proxy materials they receive relating to portfolio securities in a timely manner. To the extent applicable the Proxy Advisory Firm is required to provide research, analysis, and vote recommendations under its Proxy Voting guidelines. The Proxy Advisory Firm is required to produce custom vote recommendations in accordance with the Guidelines and their vote recommendations.

PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES

Vote Classification

Within-Guidelines Votes: Votes in Accordance with these Guidelines

A vote cast in accordance with these Guidelines is considered Within-Guidelines.

Out-of-Guidelines Votes: Votes Contrary to these Guidelines

A vote that is contrary to these Guidelines may be cast when the AO team and/or Proxy Committee determine that application of these Guidelines is inappropriate under the circumstances. A vote is considered contrary to these Guidelines when such vote contradicts the approach outlined in the Policy.

A vote would not be considered contrary to these Guidelines for cases in which these Guidelines stipulate a Case-by-Case consideration, or an Investment Professional provides a written rationale for such vote.

Matters Requiring Case-by-Case Consideration

The Proxy Advisory Firm shall refer proxy proposals to the AO Team for consideration when the Procedures and Guidelines indicate a “Case-by-Case” consideration. Additionally, the Proxy Advisory Firm shall refer a proxy proposal under circumstances in which the application of the Procedures and Guidelines is uncertain, appears to involve unusual or controversial issues, or is silent regarding the proposal.

Upon receipt of a referral from the Proxy Advisory Firm, the AO Team may solicit additional research or clarification from the Proxy Advisory Firm, Investment Professional(s), or other sources.

The AO Team shall review matters requiring Case-by-Case consideration to determine whether such proposals require an Investment Professional and/or Proxy Committee input and a vote determination.

Non-Votes: Votes in which No Action is Taken

The AO Team shall make reasonable efforts to secure and vote all Fund proxies. Nevertheless, a Fund may refrain from voting under certain circumstances including, but not limited to:

●	The economic effect on shareholder interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant (e.g., proxies in connection with fractional shares), securities no longer held in a Fund, or a proxy is being considered for a Fund no longer in existence.

●	The cost of voting a proxy outweighs the benefits (e.g., certain international proxies, particularly in cases in which share-blocking practices may impose trading restrictions on the relevant portfolio security).

Conflicts of Interest

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

The Adviser shall act in the Funds’ best interests and strive to avoid conflicts of interest.

Conflicts of interest may arise in situations in which, but not limited to:

●	The issuer is a vendor whose products or services are material to the Funds, the Adviser, or their affiliates;

●	The issuer is an entity participating to a material extent in the Funds’ distribution;

●	The issuer is a significant executing broker-dealer for the Funds and/or the Adviser;

●	Any individual who participates in the voting process for the Funds, including:

Investment Professionals;

Members of the Proxy Committee;

Employees of the Adviser;

Board Directors/Trustees; and

Individuals who serve as a director or officer of the issuer.

●	The issuer is Voya Financial.

Investment Professionals, the Proxy Advisory Firm, the Proxy Committee, and the AO Team shall disclose any potential conflicts of interest and/or confirm they do not have conflicts of interest relating to their participation in the voting process for portfolio securities.

The AO Team shall call a meeting of the Proxy Committee if a potential conflict exists and a member (or members) of the AO Team wishes to vote contrary to these Guidelines or an Investment Professional provides input regarding a meeting and has confirmed a conflict exists with regard thereto. The Proxy Committee shall then consider the matter and vote on a best course of action.

The AO Team shall use best efforts to convene the Proxy Committee with respect to all matters requiring its consideration. If the Proxy Committee cannot meet its quorum requirements by the voting deadline it shall execute the vote in accordance with these Guidelines.

The Adviser shall maintain records regarding any determinations to vote contrary to these Guidelines including those in which a potential Voya Investment Management Conflict exists. Such records shall include the rationale for the contrary vote.

Potential Conflicts with a Proxy Issuer

The AO Team shall identify potential conflicts with proxy issuers. In addition to obtaining potential conflict of interest information described in the Roles and Responsibilities section above, Proxy Committee members shall disclose to the AO Team any potential conflicts of interests with an issuer prior to discussing the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation.

Proxy Committee members shall advise the AO Team in the event they believe a potential or perceived conflict of interest exists that may preclude them from making a vote determination in the Funds’ best interests. The Proxy Committee member may elect recusal from considering the relevant proxy. Proxy Committee members shall complete a Conflict of Interest Report when they verbally disclose a potential conflict of interest.

Investment Professionals shall also confirm that they do not have any potential conflicts of interest when submitting vote recommendations to the AO Team.

The AO Team gathers and analyzes the information provided by the:

●	Proxy Advisory Firm;

●

Adviser;

●	Funds’ principal underwriters;

●	Fund affiliates;

●	Proxy Committee members;

●	Investment Professionals; and

●	Fund Directors and Officers.

Assessment of the Proxy Advisory Firm

On the Board’s and Adviser’s behalf the AO Team shall assess whether the Proxy Advisory Firm:

●	Is independent from the Adviser;

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

●	Has resources that indicate it can competently provide analysis of proxy issues;

●	Can make recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best interests of the Funds and their beneficial owners; and

●	Has adequate compliance policies and procedures to:

Ensure that its proxy voting recommendations are based on current and accurate information; and

Identify and address conflicts of interest.

The AO Team shall utilize and the Proxy Advisory Firm shall comply with such methods for completing the assessment as the AO Team may deem reasonably appropriate. The Proxy Advisory Firm shall also promptly notify the AO Team in writing of any material changes to information it previously provided to the AO Team in connection with establishing the Proxy Advisory Firm’s independence, competence, or impartiality.

Voting Funds of Funds, Investing Funds and Feeder Funds

Funds that are funds-of-funds¹ (each a “Fund-of-Funds” and collectively, “Funds-of-Funds”) shall “echo” vote their interests in underlying mutual funds, which may include mutual funds other than the Funds indicated on Voya’s website (www.voyainvestments.com). Meaning that if the Fund-of-Funds must vote on a proposal with respect to an underlying investment issuer the Fund-of-Funds shall vote its interest in that underlying fund in the same proportion as all other shareholders in the underlying investment company voted their interests.

However, if the underlying fund has no other shareholders, the Fund-of-Funds shall vote as follows:

●

If the Fund-of-Funds and the underlying fund are solicited to vote on the same proposal (e.g., the election of fund directors/trustees), the Fund-of-Funds shall vote the shares it holds in the underlying fund in the same proportion as all votes received from the holders of the Fund-of-Funds’ shares with respect to that proposal.

●

If the Fund-of-Funds is solicited to vote on a proposal for an underlying fund (e.g., a new sub-adviser to the underlying fund), and there is no corresponding proposal at the Fund-of-Funds level, the Adviser shall determine the most appropriate method of voting with respect to the underlying fund proposal.

An Investing Fund² (e.g., any Voya fund), while not a Fund-of-Funds shall have the foregoing Fund-of-Funds procedure applied to any Investing Fund that invests in one or more underlying funds. Accordingly:

●	Each Investing Fund shall “echo” vote its interests in an underlying fund if the underlying fund has shareholders other than the Investing Fund;

●

In the event an underlying fund has no other shareholders and the Investing Fund and the underlying fund are solicited to vote on the same proposal, the Investing Fund shall vote its interests in the underlying fund in the same proportion as all votes received from the holders of its own shares on that proposal; and

●	In the event an underlying fund has no other shareholders, and no corresponding proposal exists at the Investing Fund level, the Board shall determine the most appropriate method of voting with respect to the underlying fund proposal.

A fund that is a “Feeder Fund” in a master-feeder structure passes votes requested by the underlying master fund to its shareholders. Meaning that, if the master fund solicits the Feeder Fund, the Feeder Fund shall request instructions from its own shareholders as to how it should vote its interest in an underlying master fund either directly or in the case of an insurance-dedicated Fund through an insurance product or retirement plan.

When a Fund is a feeder in a master-feeder structure, proxies for the master fund’s portfolio securities shall be voted pursuant to the master fund’s proxy voting policies and procedures. As such, Feeder Funds shall not be subject to the Procedures and Guidelines except as described in the Reporting and Record Retention section below.

¹ Invest in underlying funds beyond 12d-1 limits.

² Invest in underlying funds but not beyond 12d-1 limits.

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Securities Lending

Many of the Funds participate in securities lending arrangements that generate additional revenue for the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund is unable to vote securities that are on loan under these arrangements. However, under certain circumstances, for voting issues that may have a significant impact on the investment, members of the Proxy Committee or AO Team may request that the Fund’s securities lending agent recall securities on loan if they determine that the benefit of voting outweighs the costs and lost revenue to the Fund as well as the administrative burden of retrieving the securities.

Investment Professionals may also deem a vote to be “material” in the context of the portfolio(s) they manage. They may therefore request that the Proxy Committee review lending activity on behalf of their portfolio(s) with respect to the relevant security and consider recalling and/or restricting the security. The Proxy Committee shall give primary consideration to relevant Investment Professional input in its determination as to whether a given proxy vote is material and if the associated security should accordingly be restricted from lending. The determination that a vote is material in the context of a Fund’s portfolio shall not mean that such vote is considered material across all Funds voting at that meeting. In order to recall or restrict shares on a timely basis for material voting purposes the AO Team shall use best efforts to consider and, when appropriate, act upon such requests on a timely basis. Any relevant Investment Professional may submit a request to review lending activity in connection with a potentially material vote for the Proxy Committee’s consideration at any time.

Reporting and Record Retention

Reporting by the Funds

Annually, as required, each Fund and each Sub-Adviser-Voted Fund shall post on the Voya Funds’ website its proxy voting record or a link to the prior one-year period ended June 30. The proxy voting record for each Fund and each Sub-Adviser-Voted Fund shall also be available on Form N-PX in the SEC’s EDGAR database on its website. For any Fund that is a feeder within a master-feeder structure, no proxy voting record related to the portfolio securities owned by the master fund shall be posted on the Funds’ website or included in the Fund’s Form N-PX; however, a cross-reference to the master fund’s proxy voting record as filed in the SEC’s EDGAR database shall be included in the Fund’s Form N-PX and posted on the Funds’ website. If an underlying master fund solicited any Feeder Fund for a vote during the reporting period, a record of the votes cast by means of the pass-through process described above shall be included on the Voya funds’ website and in the Feeder Fund’s Form N-PX.

Reporting to the Compliance Committee

At each quarterly Compliance Committee meeting the AO Team shall provide to the Compliance Committee a report outlining each proxy proposal, or a summary of such proposals, that was:

1.	Voted Out-of-Guidelines; and/or

2.	When the Proxy Committee did not agree with an Investment Professional’s recommendation, as assessed when the Investment Professional raises a potential conflict of interest.

The report shall include the name of the issuer, the substance of the proposal, a summary of the Investment Professional’s recommendation as applicable, and the reasons for voting or recommending an Out-of-Guidelines Vote or in the case of (2) above a vote which differed from that recommended by the Investment Professional.

Reporting by the AO Team on behalf of the Adviser

The Adviser shall maintain the records required by Rule 204-2(c)(2), as may be amended from time to time, including the following:

●	A copy of each proxy statement received regarding a Fund’s portfolio securities. Such proxy statements the issuers send are available either in the SEC’s EDGAR database or upon request from the Proxy Advisory Firm;

●	A record of each vote cast on behalf of a Fund;

●	A copy of any Adviser-created document that was material to making a proxy vote decision or that memorializes the basis for that decision;

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

●	A record of all recommendations from Investment Professionals to vote contrary to these Guidelines;

●	All proxy questions/recommendations that have been referred to the Compliance Committee; and

●	All applicable recommendations, analyses, research, Conflict Reports, and vote determinations.

All proxy voting materials and supporting documentation shall be retained for a minimum of six years.

Records Maintained by the Proxy Advisory Firm

The Proxy Advisory Firm shall retain a record of all proxy votes handled by the Proxy Advisory Firm. Such record must reflect all the information required to be disclosed in a Fund’s Form N-PX pursuant to Rule 30b1-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Additionally, the Proxy Advisory Firm shall be responsible for maintaining copies of all proxy statements received by issuers and to promptly provide such materials to the Adviser upon request.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

Introduction

Proxies shall be voted in the Funds’ best interests. These Guidelines summarize the Funds’ positions regarding certain matters of importance to shareholders and provide an indication as to how the Funds’ ballots shall be voted for certain types of proposals. These Guidelines are not exhaustive and do not provide guidance on all potential voting matters. Proposals may be addressed on a CASE-BY-CASE basis rather than according to these Guidelines when assessing the merits of available rationale and disclosure.

These Guidelines generally apply to securities of publicly traded operating issuers and to those of privately held operating issuers if publicly available disclosure permits such application. The Funds will consider matters relating to investment companies that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on a CASE-BY-CASE basis. Additionally, all matters for which such disclosure is not available shall be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

Investment Professionals are encouraged to submit recommendations to the AO Team regarding proxy voting matters relating to the portfolio securities over which they have daily portfolio management responsibility. Investment Professionals may submit recommendations in connection with any proposal and they are likely to receive requests for recommendations relating to proxies for private equity or fixed income securities and/or proposals relating to merger transactions/corporate restructurings, proxy contests, or unusual or controversial issues.

Interpretation and application of these Guidelines is not intended to supersede any law, regulation, binding agreement, or other legal requirement to which an issuer may be or become subject. No proposal shall be supported where implementation would contravene such requirements.

General Policies

The Funds generally support the recommendation of an issuer’s management when the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation also aligns with such recommendation and to vote in accordance with the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation when management has made no recommendation. However, this policy shall not apply to CASE-BY-CASE proposals for which a contrary recommendation from the relevant Investment Professional(s) is utilized.

The rationale and vote recommendation from Investment Professionals shall receive primary consideration with respect to CASE-BY-CASE proposals considered on the relevant Fund’s behalf.

The Fund’s policy is to not support proposals that would negatively impact the existing rights of the Funds’ beneficial owners. Shareholder proposals shall not be supported if they impose excessive costs and/or are overly restrictive or prescriptive. Depending on the relevant market, appropriate opposition may be expressed as an ABSTAIN, AGAINST, or WITHHOLD vote.

In the event competing shareholder and board proposals appear on the same agenda at uncontested proxies, the shareholder proposal shall not be supported, and the management proposal shall be supported when the management proposal meets the factors for support under the relevant topic/policy (e.g.,

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Allocation of Income and Dividends); the competing proposals shall otherwise be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

International Policies

Companies incorporated outside the U.S. are subject to the following U.S. policies if they are listed on a U.S. exchange and treated as a U.S. domestic issuer by the SEC. Where applicable, certain U.S. policies may also be applied to issuers incorporated outside the U.S. (e.g., issuers with a significant base of U.S. operations and employees).

However, given the differing regulatory and legal requirements, market practices, and political and economic systems existing in various international markets, the Funds shall:

●	Vote AGAINST international proposals when the Proxy Advisory Firm recommends voting AGAINST such proposal due to inadequate relevant disclosure by the issuer or time provided for consideration of such disclosure;

●	Consider proposals that are associated with a firm AGAINST vote on a CASE-BY-CASE basis when the Proxy Advisory Firm recommends support when:

●

The issuer or market transitions to better practices (e.g., committing to new regulations or governance codes);

●

The market standard is stricter than the Fund’s Guidelines; and/or

●

It is the more favorable choice when shareholders must choose between alternate proposals.

Proposal Specific Policies

As mentioned above, these Guidelines may be overridden in any case as provided for in the Procedures. Similarly, the Procedures outline the proposals with Guidelines that prescribe a firm voting position that may instead be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis when unusual or controversial circumstances so dictate, in such circumstances the AO Team may deem it appropriate to seek input from the relevant Investment Professional(s).

Proxy Contests:

Votes in contested elections on shall be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis with primary consideration given to input from the relevant Investment Professional(s).

Uncontested Proxies:

1-	The Board of Directors

Overview

The Funds may indicate disagreement with an issuer’s policies or practices by withholding support from the relevant proposal rather than from the director nominee(s) to which the Proxy Advisory Firm assigns fault or assigns an association.

The Funds shall withhold support from director(s) deemed responsible in cases in which the Funds’ disagreement is assigned to the board of directors. Responsibility may be attributed to the entire board, a committee, or an individual, and the Funds shall apply a vote accountability guideline (“Vote Accountability Guideline”) specific to the concerns under review.

The Funds shall typically vote FOR a director in connection with issues the Proxy Advisory Firm raises if the director did not serve on the board or relevant committee during the majority of the time period relevant to the concerns the Proxy Advisory Firm cited.

The Funds shall vote with the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation when more candidates are presented than available seats and no other provisions under these Guidelines apply.

Vote with the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation to withhold support from the legal entity and vote on the individual when a director holds one seat as an individual plus an additional seat as a representative of a legal entity.

Bundled Director Slates

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from directors or slates of directors when they are presented in a manner not aligned with market best practice and/or regulation, irrespective of complying with independence requirements, such as:

●	Bundled slates of directors (e.g., Canada, France, Hong Kong, or Spain);

●	In markets with term lengths capped by regulation or market practice, directors whose terms exceed the caps or are not disclosed; or

●	Directors whose names are not disclosed in advance of the meeting or far enough in advance relative to voting deadlines to make an informed voting decision.

For issuers with multiple slates in Italy, the Funds shall follow the Proxy Advisory Firm’s standards for assessing which slate is best suited to represent shareholder interests.

Independence

Director and Board/Committee Independence

The Funds expect boards and key committees to have an appropriate level of independence and shall accordingly consider the Proxy Advisory Firm’s standards to determine that adequate level of independence. A director would be deemed non-independent if the individual had/has a relationship with the issuer that could potentially influence the individual’s objectivity causing the inability to satisfy fiduciary standards on behalf of shareholders. Audit, compensation/remuneration, and nominating and/or governance committees are considered key committees and should be 100% independent. The Funds shall consider the Proxy Advisory Firm’s standards and generally accepted best practice (collectively “Independence Expectations”) with respect to determining director independence and Board/Committee independence levels. Note: Non-voting directors (e.g., director emeritus or advisory director) shall be excluded from calculations relating to board independence.

The Funds shall consider non-independent directors standing for election on a Case-by-Case basis when the full board or committee does not meet Independence Expectations. Additionally, the Funds shall:

●	WITHHOLD support from the board chair, nominating committee chair, nominating committee member(s), or an incumbent director(s) if the board chair is non-independent and the board does not have a lead independent director;

●	WITHHOLD support from slates of directors if the board’s independence cannot be ascertained due to inadequate disclosure or when the board’s independence does not meet Independence Expectations;

●	WITHHOLD support from key committee slates if they contain non-independent directors; and/or

●	WITHHOLD support from non-independent nominating committee chair, board chair, and/or directors if the full board serves or appears to serve as a key committee, the board has not established a key committee, or the board and/or a key committee(s) does not meet Independence Expectations.

Self-Nominated/Shareholder-Nominated Director Candidates

The Funds shall consider self-nominated or shareholder-nominated director candidates on a CASE-BY-CASE basis and shall WITHHOLD support from the candidate when:

●	Adequate disclosure has not been provided (e.g., rationale for candidacy and candidate’s qualifications relative to the issuer);

●	The candidate’s agenda is not in line with the long-term best interests of the issuer; or

●	Multiple self-nominated candidates are considered to constitute a proxy contest if similar issues are raised (e.g., potential change in control).

Management Proposals Seeking Non-Board Member Service on Key Committees

The Funds shall vote AGAINST proposals that permit non-board members to serve on a key committee, provided that bundled slates may be supported if no slate nominee serves on relevant committee(s) except in cases in which best market practice otherwise dictates.

The Funds shall consider other concerns regarding committee members on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

Board Member Roles and Responsibilities

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Attendance

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from a director who, during the prior year attended less than 75 percent of the board and committee meetings with no valid reason for the absences, excluding directors who have not completed a full year on the board.

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from nominating committee members according to the Vote Accountability Guideline if a director has two or more years of poor attendance without a valid reason for their absences.

The Funds shall apply a one-year attendance policy relating to statutory auditors at Japanese issuer meetings.

Over-boarding

The Funds shall vote AGAINST directors who serve on:

●	More than two public issuer boards and are named executive officers at any public issuer, and shall WITHHOLD support only at their outside board(s);

●	Five or more public issuer boards; or

●	Four or more public issuer boards and is Board Chair at two or more public issuers and shall WITHHOLD support on boards for which such director does not serve as chair.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST shareholder proposals limiting the number of public issuer boards on which a director may serve.

Tenure

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from the nominating committee chair and/or members of the nominating committee when the average board tenure exceeds 15 years.

Combined Chair / CEO Role

The Funds shall vote FOR directors without regard to recommendations that the position of chair should be separate from that of CEO or should otherwise require independence unless other concerns requiring Case-by-Case consideration arise (e.g., a former CEO proposed as board chair).

The Funds shall consider shareholder proposals that require that the positions of chair and CEO be held separately on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

Cumulative/Net Voting Markets

When cumulative or net voting applies, the Funds shall follow the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendation to vote FOR nominees, such as when the issuer assesses that such nominees are independent, irrespective of key committee membership, even if independence disclosure or criteria fall short of the Proxy Advisory Firm’s standards.

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Board Accountability

The Funds shall vote AGAINST directors according to the Vote Accountability Guideline when the relevant country’s corporate governance code contains a minimally acceptable threshold for racial/ethnic diversity and the board does not appear to meet this expectation.

Return on Equity

The Funds shall vote FOR the most senior executive at an issuer in Japan if the only reason the Proxy Advisory Firm withholds its recommendation results from the issuer underperforming in terms of capital efficiency or issuer performance (e.g., net losses or low return on equity (ROE)).

Compensation Practices

The Funds may WITHHOLD support from compensation committee members whose actions or disclosure do not appear to support compensation practices aligned with the best interests of the issuer and its shareholders.

“Say on Pay” Responsiveness. The Funds shall consider compensation committee members on a CASE-BY-CASE basis for failure to sufficiently address compensation concerns prompting significant opposition to the most recent advisory vote on executive officers’ compensation, “Say on Pay”, or continuing to maintain problematic pay practices, considering such factors as the level of shareholder opposition, subsequent actions taken by the compensation committee, and level of responsiveness disclosure, among others.

“Say on Pay Frequency”. The Funds shall WITHHOLD support according to the Vote Accountability Guideline if the Proxy Advisory Firm opposes directors due to the issuer’s failure to include a “Say on Pay” proposal and/or a “Say on Pay Frequency” proposal when required pursuant to SEC or market regulatory provisions; or implemented a “Say on Pay Frequency” schedule that is less frequent than the frequency most recently preferred by not less than a plurality of shareholders; or is an externally-managed issuer (EMI) or externally-managed REIT (EMR) and has failed to include a “Say on Pay” proposal or adequate disclosure of the compensation structure.

Commitments. The Funds shall vote FOR compensation committee members receiving an adverse recommendation from the Proxy Advisory Firm due to problematic pay practices or thresholds (e.g., burn rate) if the issuer makes a public commitment (e.g., via a Form 8-K filing) to rectify the practice on a going-forward basis. However, the Funds shall WITHHOLD support on compensation committee members according to the Vote Accountability Guideline if the issuer does not rectify the practice prior to the issuer’s next annual general meeting.

The Funds shall consider directors according to the Vote Accountability Guideline, the issuer’s CEO or CFO if nominated as directors, or external auditors on a CASE-BY-CASE basis if:

●	Issuer has not yet had a full year to remediate the concerns since the time such issues were identified; and/or

●	Issuer has taken adequate steps to remediate the concerns cited that would typically include removing or replacing the responsible executives and the concerning issues do not recur.

The Funds shall vote FOR audit committee members, or the issuer’s CEO or CFO when nominated as directors, who did not serve on the committee or did not have responsibility over the relevant financial function during the majority of the time period relevant to the concerns cited.

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support on audit committee members according to the Vote Accountability Guideline if the issuer has failed to disclose audit fees and has not provided an auditor ratification or remuneration proposal for shareholder vote.

Problematic Actions

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support on directors according to the Vote Accountability Guideline when the Proxy Advisory Firm cites them for problematic actions including a lack of due diligence in relation to a major transaction (e.g., a merger or an acquisition), material failures, inadequate oversight, scandals, malfeasance, or negligent internal controls at the issuer or that of an affiliate, factoring in the merits of the director’s performance, rationale, and disclosure when:

●	Culpability can be attributed to the director (e.g., director manages or is responsible for the relevant function); or

●	The director has been directly implicated resulting in arrest, criminal charge, or regulatory sanction.

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support on members of the nominating committee, board chair, or lead independent director when an issuer nominates a director who is subject to any of the above concerns to serve on its board.

The Funds shall also WITHHOLD support on the pledgor, if a director, where the pledged amount and unwinding time are deemed significant and therefore an unnecessary risk to the issuer.

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from all incumbent directors if the issuer has implemented a multi-class capital structure in which the classes have unequal voting rights and does not have a reasonable sunset provision (e.g., fewer than seven (7) years).

The Funds shall WITHHOLD support from directors according to the Vote Accountability Guideline when the Proxy Advisory Firm recommends withholding support due to the board (a) unilaterally adopting by-law amendments that have a negative impact on existing shareholder rights or function as a diminution of shareholder rights or (b) failing to remove or subject to a reasonable sunset provision in its by-laws.

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Board Structure

The Funds shall vote FOR management proposals to adopt or amend board structures unless the resulting change(s) would mean the board would not meet Independence Expectations.

Adjustments to Par Value of Common Stock

The Funds shall vote FOR management proposals to reduce the par value of common stock unless doing so raises other concerns not otherwise supported under these Guidelines.

The Funds shall consider on a CASE-BY-CASE basis proposals to increase the number of shares of “blank check” preferred shares or preferred stock authorized for issuance. This approach incorporates both qualitative and quantitative measures including a review of:

●	Past performance (e.g., board governance, shareholder returns, and historical share usage); and

●	The current request (e.g., rationale, whether shares are “blank check” and “declawed”, and dilutive impact as determined through the Proxy Advisory Firm’s model for assessing appropriate thresholds).

The Funds shall vote AGAINST proposals authorizing issuance of preferred stock or creation of new classes of preferred stock having unspecified voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights (“blank check” preferred stock).

The Funds shall vote FOR proposals to issue or create “blank check” preferred stock in cases in which the issuer expressly states that the stock shall not be used as a takeover defense or not utilize a disparate voting rights structure.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST in cases in which the issuer expressly states that, or fails to disclose whether, the stock may be used as a takeover defense.

The Funds shall vote FOR proposals to authorize or issue preferred stock in cases in which the issuer specifies the voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights of such stock and the terms of the preferred stock appear reasonable.

Preferred Stock (International)

Fund voting decisions should generally be based on the Proxy Advisory Firm’s approach, and the Funds shall:

●	Vote FOR the creation of a new class of preferred stock or issuances of preferred stock up to 50 percent of issued capital unless the terms of the preferred stock would adversely affect the rights of existing shareholders;

●	Vote FOR the creation/issuance of convertible preferred stock so long as the maximum number of common shares that could be issued upon conversion meets the Proxy Advisory Firm’s guidelines on equity issuance requests; and

●	Vote AGAINST the creation of:

(1) A new class of preference shares that would carry superior voting rights to common shares; or

(2) “Blank check” preferred stock unless the board states that the authorization shall not be used to thwart a takeover bid.

Stock Distributions: Splits and Dividends

The Funds shall vote FOR management proposals to increase common share authorization for a stock split provided that the increase in authorized shares falls within the Proxy Advisory Firm’s allowable thresholds.

Reverse Stock Splits

The Funds shall consider management proposals to implement a reverse stock split on a CASE-BY-CASE considering management’s rationale and/or disclosure if the split constitutes a capital increase that effectively exceeds the Proxy Advisory Firm’s permissible threshold due to the lack of a proportionate reduction in the number of shares authorized.

Allocation of Income and Dividends

With respect to Japanese and South Korean issuers, the Funds shall consider management proposals concerning income allocation and the dividend distribution, including adjustments to reserves to make capital available for such purposes, on a CASE-BY-CASE basis voting with the Proxy Advisory Firm’s recommendations to oppose such proposals for cases in which:

●	The dividend payout ratio has been consistently below 30 percent without adequate explanation; or

●	The payout is excessive given the issuer’s financial position.

The Funds shall vote FOR such issuer management proposals in other markets.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST proposals in which issuers seek to establish or maintain disparate dividend distributions between stockholders of the same share class (e.g., long-term stockholders receiving a higher dividend ratio (“Loyalty Dividends”)).

In any market, in the event multiple proposals regarding dividends are on the same agenda the Funds shall vote FOR the management proposal if the proposal meets the support conditions described above and shall vote AGAINST the shareholder proposal; otherwise, the Funds shall consider such proposals on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

Stock (Scrip) Dividend Alternatives

The Funds shall vote FOR most stock (scrip) dividend proposals but vote AGAINST proposals that do not allow for a cash option unless management demonstrates that the cash option is harmful to shareholder value.

The Funds shall consider the creation of tracking stock on a CASE-BY-CASE basis giving primary consideration to the input from relevant Investment Professional(s).

Waiver on Tender-Bid Requirement

Related Party Transactions

The Funds shall vote FOR approval of such transactions, unless the agreement requests a strategic move outside the issuer’s charter, contains unfavorable or high-risk terms (e.g., deposits without security interest or guaranty), or is deemed likely to have a negative impact on director or related party independence.

6-	Environmental and Social Issues

Environmental and Social Proposals

Institutional shareholders now routinely scrutinize shareholder proposals regarding environmental and social matters. Accordingly, in addition to governance risks and opportunities, issuers should also assess their environmental and social risks and opportunities as they pertain to stakeholders including their employees, shareholders, communities, suppliers, and customers.

Issuers should adequately disclose how they evaluate and mitigate such material risks in order to allow shareholders to assess how well the issuers mitigate and leverage their social and environmental risks and opportunities. Issuers should adopt disclosure methodologies considering recommendations from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), or Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) to foster uniform disclosure and to allow shareholders to assess risks across issuers.

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Accordingly, the Funds shall vote FOR proposals related to environmental, sustainability and corporate social responsibility if the issuer’s disclosure and/or its management of the issue(s) appears inadequate relative to its peers and if the proposal:

●	applies to the issuer’s business,

●	enhances long-term shareholder value,

●	requests more transparency and commitment to improve the issuer’s environmental and/or social risks,

●	aims to benefit the issuer’s stakeholders,

●	is reasonable and not unduly onerous or costly, or

●	is not requesting data that is primarily duplicative to data the issuer already publicly provides.

Environmental

The Funds shall vote FOR proposals relating to environmental impact that reasonably:

●	aim to reduce negative environmental impact, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other contributing factors to global climate change; and/or

●	request disclosure relating to how the issuer addresses its climate impact.

Social

The Funds shall vote FOR proposals relating to corporate social responsibility that request disclosure of how the issuer manages its:

●	employee and board diversity; and/or

●	human capital management, human rights, and supply chain risks.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST such proposals if concerns exist regarding inadequate disclosure, remuneration arrangements (including severance/termination payments exceeding local standards for multiples of annual compensation), or consulting agreements with non-executive directors.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST such proposals if concerns exist regarding the issuer’s financial accounts and reporting, including related party transactions.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST board-issued reports receiving a negative recommendation from the Proxy Advisory Firm resulting from concerns regarding board independence or inclusion of non-independent directors on the audit committee.

●	Each proposal would otherwise be supported under these Guidelines.

The Funds shall vote AGAINST any proposals that would otherwise be opposed under these Guidelines.

Bundled Proposals

The Funds shall vote FOR such proposals if all of the bundled items are supported under these Guidelines.

The Funds shall consider such proposals on a CASE-BY-CASE basis if one or more items are not supported under these Guidelines and/or the Proxy Advisory Firm deems the negative impact, on balance, to outweigh any positive impact.

Moot Proposals

This instruction pertains to items for which support has become moot (e.g., a director for whom support has become moot since the time the individual was nominated (e.g., due to death, disqualification, or determination not to accept appointment)); the Funds shall WITHHOLD support if the Proxy Advisory Firm recommends that course of action.

8-	Investment Companies Registered Under the Investment Company Act of 1940

Accordingly, the Funds shall consider matters related to Investment Companies on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

Revision Date: February 5, 2025

Item 13. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

(a)(1) Portfolio Management. The following individuals share responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

Mohamed Basma, is a managing director, head of leveraged credit at Voya Investment Management. Mohamed also chairs the leveraged credit investment committee. Prior at Voya, Mohamed was managing director, head of senior loans and global CLOs for leveraged credit, responsible for all aspects of the team’s senior loan and global CLO business and the team’s CLO investing strategies. Prior to joining Voya, Mohamed was a senior auditor and consultant in the audit and business advisory group with Arthur Andersen, LLP, responsible for executing corporate audits and financial consulting engagements. Mohamed earned a BBA from American University of Beirut, Lebanon and an MBA from Arizona State University. He is a CFA^® Charterholder.

(a)(2V-iii) Other Accounts Managed

The following table show the number of accounts and total assets in the accounts managed by the portfolio managers of the Sub-Adviser as of February 28, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.

Voya Credit Income Fund (CIF)

	Mutual Funds Registered Investment Companies				Other Pool Investment Vehicles				Other Accounts
Portfolio Managers	Number of Accounts		Total Assets		Number of Accounts		Total Assets		Number of Accounts		Total Assets
Mohamed Basma		4	$	654,932,456		0	$	0		2	$	424,887,240

(a)(2)(iv) Conflicts of Interest

A portfolio manager may be subject to potential conflicts of interest because the portfolio manager is responsible for other accounts in addition to the Portfolio. These other accounts may include, among others, other mutual funds, separately managed advisory accounts, commingled trust accounts, insurance, wrap fee programs and hedge funds. Potential conflicts may arise out of the implementation of differing investment strategies for the portfolio manager’s various accounts, the allocation of investment opportunities among those accounts or differences in the advisory fees paid by the portfolio manager’s accounts.

A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager’s responsibility for multiple accounts with similar investment guidelines. Under these circumstances, a potential investment may be suitable for more than one of the portfolio manager’s accounts, but the quantity of the investment available for purchase is less than the aggregate amount the accounts would ideally devote to the opportunity. Similar conflicts may arise when multiple accounts seek to dispose of the same investment.

A portfolio manager may also manage accounts whose objectives and policies differ from those of the Portfolio. These differences may be such that under certain circumstances, trading activity appropriate for one account managed by the portfolio manager may have adverse consequences for another account managed by the portfolio manager. For example, if an account were to sell a significant position in a security, which could cause the market price of that security to decrease, while the Fund maintained its position in that security.

A potential conflict may arise when a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts that have different advisory fees — the difference in the fees may create an incentive for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another, for example, in terms of access to particularly appealing investment opportunities. This conflict may be heightened where an account is subject to a performance-based fee.

As part of its compliance program, VIM has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to address the potential conflicts of interest described above.

Finally, a potential conflict of interest may arise because the investment mandates for certain other accounts, such as hedge funds, may allow extensive use of short sales which, in theory, could allow them to enter into short positions in securities where other accounts hold long positions. Voya IM has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit and monitor short sales by the other accounts to avoid harm to the Portfolio.

(a)(3) Compensation

Compensation consists of: (i) a fixed base salary; (ii) a bonus, which is based on Voya IM performance, one-, three-, and five-year pre-tax performance of the accounts the portfolio managers are primarily and jointly responsible for relative to account benchmarks, peer universe performance, and revenue growth and net cash flow growth (changes in the accounts’ net assets not attributable to changes in the value of the accounts’ investments) of the accounts they are responsible for; and (iii) long-term equity awards tied to the performance of our parent company, Voya Financial, Inc. and/or a notional investment in a predefined set of Voya IM sub-advised funds.

Portfolio managers are also eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award delivered in some combination of cash and a deferred award in the form of Voya stock. The overall design of the annual incentive plan was developed to tie pay to both performance and cash flows, structured in such a way as to drive performance and promote retention of top talent. As with base salary compensation, individual target awards are determined and set based on external market data and internal comparators. Investment performance is measured on both relative and absolute performance in all areas.

Voya IM has a defined index (50% Bloomberg High Yield Bond – 2% issuer Constrained Composite Index/50% Moring LSTA US Leverage Loan Index ) set performance goals to appropriately reflect requirements for the investment team. The measures for each team re outlined on a "scorecard" that is reviewed on an annual basis. These scorecards measure investment performance versus benchmark and peer groups over one-, three- and five-year periods; year -to-date net cash flow (changes in the accounts' net assets not attributable to changes in the value of the accounts' investments) and revenue growth for all accounts managed by the team. The results for overall Voya IM scorecards are typically calculated on an asset weighted performance basis of the individual team scorecards. Investment professionals' performance measures for bonus determinations are weighted by 25% being attributable to the overall Voya IM performance and 75% attributable to their specific team results (65% investment performance, 5% net cash flow and 5% revenue growth).

Voya IM’s long-term incentive plan is designed to provide ownership-like incentives to reward continued employment and to link long-term compensation to the financial performance of the business. Based on job function, internal comparators and external market data, employees may be granted long-term awards. All senior investment professionals participate in the long-term compensation plan. Participants receive annual awards determined by the management committee based largely on investment performance and contribution to firm performance. Plan awards are based on the current year’s performance as defined by the Voya IM component of the annual incentive plan. Awards typically include a combination of performance shares, which vest ratably over a three-year period, and Voya restricted stock and/or a notional investment in a predefined set of Voya IM sub-advised funds, each subject to a three-year cliff-vesting schedule.

If a portfolio manager’s base salary compensation exceeds a particular threshold, he or she may participate in Voya’s deferred compensation plan. The plan provides an opportunity to invest deferred amounts of compensation in mutual funds, Voya stock or at an annual fixed interest rate. Deferral elections are done on an annual basis and the amount of compensation deferred is irrevocable.
