EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 282 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement of Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust (the “Registrant”) on Form N-1A is being filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, to amend and supplement Amendment No. 280 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 29, 2025 under the 1940 Act (Accession No. 0001193125-25-103470) (“Amendment No. 280”), as pertaining to Part B of the NVIT U.S. 130/30 Equity Fund, NVIT GS Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund, NVIT GS International Equity Insights Fund, NVIT GS Large Cap Equity Fund, and NVIT GS Small Cap Equity Insights Fund (together, the “Funds”), each a series of the Registrant.

Shares of the series of the Registrant may be purchased only by “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. This Amendment is not offering to sell, or soliciting any offer to buy, any security to the public within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The unaudited Financial Statement of the Funds for the period ended June 30, 2025, as filed with the Commission on August 27, 2025 (Accession No. 0001398344-25-016853) contained in the Semi-Annual Report of the Registrant, dated June 30, 2025, is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 29. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT

No person is presently controlled by or under common control with Registrant.

ITEM 30. INDEMNIFICATION

Indemnification provisions for officers, directors and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VII, Section 2 of the Amended Declaration. See Item 28(a) above.

The Trust has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the trustees and certain of its officers. The indemnification agreements provide that the Trust will indemnify the indemnitee for and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by indemnitee in connection with a proceeding that the indemnitee is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to (other than certain

exceptions specified in the agreements), to the maximum extent not expressly prohibited by Delaware law or applicable federal securities law and regulations (including, without limitation, Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations issued with respect thereto by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). The Trust also will indemnify indemnitee for and against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by indemnitee in connection with any proceeding to which indemnitee is or is threatened to be made a witness but not a party. See Item 23(h)(4) above.

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