VOYA CREDIT INCOME FUND

Who is asking for my vote?

The Board is soliciting your vote for a joint special meeting of each Trust’s shareholders, as well as votes at a separate joint special meeting specific to shareholders of CIF and GI&G Fund.

How is my proxy being solicited?

The Trusts have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the “Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The estimated cost associated with the solicitation under this Proxy Statement is $552,690, which will be borne by the Funds; provided, that due to the application of expense limitation arrangements or other management fee arrangements applicable for certain Funds, it is expected that the Adviser will bear a portion of the costs associated with this Proxy Statement. The fund-specific proposals described in this Proxy Statement will be paid for by the relevant Funds. As the date of the Meetings approaches, certain shareholders may receive a telephone call from a representative of the Solicitor if their votes have not yet been received. Authorization to permit the Solicitor to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of the Funds. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with certain procedures, as explained further below. The Board believes that these procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined and recorded.

In situations where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the Solicitor’s representative is required to ask for each shareholder’s full name, address, title (if the shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a corporation), the number of shares owned, and to confirm that the shareholder has received the proxy materials in the mail. The Solicitor’s representative will explain the process, read the Proposals on the Proxy Ballot, and ask for the shareholder’s instructions on each applicable Proposal. Although the Solicitor’s representative is permitted to answer questions about the process, he or she is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote, other than reading any recommendation set forth in the Proxy Statement. The Solicitor’s representative will record the shareholder’s instructions on the Proxy Ballot. Within approximately 72 hours of soliciting telephonic voting instructions, the shareholder will be sent a letter or mailgram to confirm his or her vote and asking the shareholder to call the Solicitor immediately if his or her instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation.

Should you require additional information regarding the Meetings, you may contact the Solicitor toll-free at 1-844-202-7043. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers and representatives of the Funds, officers and employees of the Adviser or its affiliates and certain financial services firms and their representatives, who will receive no extra compensation for their services, may solicit votes by telephone, telegram, facsimile, or other communication.

What happens to my proxy once I submit it?

The Board has named Joanne F. Osberg and Todd Modic, or one or more substitutes designated by them, as proxies who are authorized to vote Fund shares as directed by shareholders.

Can I revoke my proxy after I submit it?

A shareholder may revoke the accompanying proxy at any time prior to its use by filing with the Trusts a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In addition, any shareholder who attends a Meeting in person (virtually) may vote by ballot at a Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

How will my shares be voted?

If you follow the voting instructions, your proxies will vote your shares as you have directed. If you submitted your Proxy Ballot but did not vote on the proposals, your proxies will vote on the proposals as recommended by the Board. If any other matter is properly presented, your proxies will vote in their discretion in accordance with their best judgment, including on any proposal to adjourn a Meeting. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, the Board knew of no matter that needed to be acted upon at the Meetings other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement.
