Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders

Scheduled for September 11, 2025

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be Held on September 11, 2025

This Proxy Statement and Notice of Special Meeting are available

at: www.proxyvote.com/voya

INTRODUCTION

What is happening?

On May 15, 2025, the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of each of Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Investors Trust, Voya Partners, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Insurance Trust, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., and Voya Variable Products Trust (each a “Company,” and collectively, the “Companies”), voted to nominate ten individuals for election to the Board (the “Nominees”). The Nominees consist of the six current Directors/Trustees, as well as four individuals who are not currently serving as Directors/Trustees of a Company. You are being asked to elect the ten Nominees to the Board.

The Board also considered and recommended that shareholders of VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio approve a change in the Portfolio’s sub- classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended, from “diversified” to “non-diversified” (the “Change of Sub-Classification”).

The Meeting is also being held to transact such other business, not currently contemplated, as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof in the discretion of the proxies or their substitutes.

Why did you send me this booklet?

This booklet includes a Proxy Statement and a Voting Instruction Card for each Company in which you have an interest. It provides you with information you should review before providing voting instructions on the matters listed in the Notice of Meeting. The words “you” and “shareholder” are used in this Proxy Statement to refer to the person or entity that has voting rights or is being asked to provide voting instructions in connection with the shares.

Your shares have been purchased by you or at your direction through your qualified pension or retirement plan (“Qualified Plans”) or, at your direction, by your insurance company through its separate accounts (“Separate Accounts”) to serve as an investment option under your variable annuity and/or

variable life contract (“Variable Contract”). The insurance companies and Qualified Plans or their trustees, as record owners of a Portfolio’s shares, are, in most cases, the true “shareholders” of the Portfolio; however, participants in Qualified Plans (“Plan Participants”) or holders of Variable Contracts (“Variable Contracts Holders”) may be asked to instruct their Qualified Plan trustee or insurance company, as applicable, as to how they would like the shares attributed to their Qualified Plan or Variable Contract to be voted. For clarity and ease of reading, references to “shareholder” or “you” throughout this Proxy Statement do not refer to the technical shareholder but rather refer to the persons who are being asked to provide voting instructions on a Proposal, unless the context indicates otherwise. Similarly, for ease of reading, references to “voting” or “vote,” in the case of Variable Contracts Holders or Plan Participants, refer to the voting instructions provided by them.

Who is eligible to vote?

Shareholders holding an investment in shares of a Company as of the close of business on June 16, 2025 (the “Record Date”) are eligible to vote or instruct their insurance company or plan trustee how to vote their shares at the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

How do I vote?

You may submit your Voting Instruction Card in one of four ways:

•By Internet. The web address and instructions for voting can be found on the enclosed Voting Instruction Card. You will be required to provide your control number located on the Voting Instruction Card.

•By Telephone. The toll-free number for telephone voting can be found on the enclosed Voting Instruction Card. You will be required to provide your control number located on the Voting Instruction Card.

•By Mail. Mark the enclosed Voting Instruction Card, sign and date it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope we provided. Joint owners must each sign the Voting Instruction Card.

•At the Meeting Over the Internet. The Meeting will be held entirely online. Shareholders of record as of June 16, 2025, will be able to attend and participate in the Meeting by registering online at https://viewproxy.com/voya/broadridgevsm .  Even if you plan to attend the Meeting online, we recommend that you also vote by proxy as described herein so that your vote will be counted if you decide not to attend the Meeting.

Shareholders whose shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee must first obtain a “legal proxy” from the applicable nominee/record holder, who will then provide the shareholder with a newly issued control number.

Once shareholders have obtained a new control number, they must visit the website for the relevant Meeting(s) to submit their name and newly issued control number in order to register to participate in and vote at the Meeting. After shareholders have submitted their registration information, they will receive an email from the Solicitor that confirms that their registration request has been received and is under review by the Solicitor. Once shareholders’ registration requests have been accepted, they will receive (i) an email containing an event link and dial-in information to attend the Meeting, and

(ii)an email with a password to enter at the event link to access the Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES

All Portfolios

What Is Proposal 1?

The purpose of this Proposal is to elect Directors/Trustees to serve on the Board. The Board has nominated ten individuals (each a “Nominee,” and collectively, the “Nominees”) for election as Directors/Trustees of the Companies. Shareholders of each Company are asked to elect the Nominees as Directors/Trustees, effective on September 11, 2025 or upon shareholder approval, whichever is later (the “Election Effective Date”) each to serve until their death, resignation, or retirement, or until a successor is duly elected and qualified.

The Board currently consists of six Directors/Trustees: Colleen D. Baldwin, John V. Boyer, Martin J. Gavin, Joseph E. Obermeyer, Sheryl K. Pressler and Christopher P. Sullivan (the “Current Independent Trustees”). In addition, the Board has nominated Jody T. Foster, Dennis Johnson, Mark R. Wetzel and Christian G. Wilson each of whom is not currently a member of the Board. Each of Ms. Foster and Messrs. Johnson and Wetzel has served as an independent consultant to the Board since November 2023. Each Nominee, except for Mr. Wilson, is not an “interested person” of any of the Companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Such individuals are commonly referred to as “Independent Directors/Trustees.” Mr. Wilson, currently the President and Chief/Principal Executive Officer of each Company, is deemed to be an “interested person” of each Company because of his current affiliation with Voya Financial, Inc., and Voya Financial, Inc.’s affiliates.

The Companies’ Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists solely of Independent Directors/Trustees, and which, among other things, identifies and recommends to the Board candidates it proposes for nomination to fill Independent Director/Trustee vacancies on the Board, reviewed the qualifications, experience, and background of the Nominees. Based upon this review, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommended each of Mses. Baldwin, Pressler and Foster and Messrs. Boyer, Gavin, Obermeyer, Sullivan, Johnson and Wetzel to the Board as a candidate for nomination as an Independent Director/Trustee. Management recommended Mr. Wilson to the Board as a candidate for nomination as an Interested Director/Trustee. At a meeting of the Board held on May 15, 2025, after discussion and further consideration of the matter, the Board voted to nominate the Nominees for election by shareholders.

In evaluating potential candidates to fill Independent Director/Trustee vacancies on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considered

a variety of factors. Specific qualifications of candidates for Board membership were based on the needs of the Board at the time of nomination.

Each Nominee has consented to serve as a Director/Trustee and to being named in this Proxy Statement.

Who are the Nominees and what are their qualifications?

Each Nominee’s substantial professional accomplishments and prior experience, including, in some cases, in fields related to the operations of the Portfolios, were a significant factor in the determination that the individual should be nominated to serve as a Director/Trustee Below is a summary of each Nominee’s professional experience and additional considerations that contributed to the Board’s conclusion that such Director/Trustee should be nominated to serve as a Director/Trustee of the Companies:

Independent Director/Trustee Nominees

Colleen D. Baldwin has been a Director/Trustee of each Company and a board member of other investment companies in the Voya family of funds since 2007. She currently serves as the Chairperson of the Companies’ Investment Review Committee (“IRC”) E since January 1, 2025, and prior to that, she served as the Chairperson of the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Voya family of funds from 2020 to 2024. Prior to that, she served as the Chairperson of the Company’s IRC E from 2014 to 2019 and as the Chairperson of the Companies’ Nominating and Governance Committee from 2009 through 2013.

How long will the Directors/Trustees serve on the Board?

Directors/Trustees serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The tenure of each Independent Director/Trustee is subject to the Board’s retirement policy, which states that each duly elected or appointed Independent Director/Trustee shall retire from and cease to be a member of the Board at the close of business on December 31 of the calendar year in which the Independent Director/Trustee attains the age of 75. A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Directors/Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Director/Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Company under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the Independent Director/Trustee or otherwise complying 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 Directors/Trustees).

It is currently anticipated that Ms. Pressler and Mr. Gavin will retire under the Board’s retirement policy at the end of 2025.

What are the Directors/Trustees paid for their services?

Each Director/Trustee is reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with each meeting of the Board or any of its Committee meetings attended. Each Independent Director/Trustee is compensated for his or her services, on a quarterly basis, according to a fee schedule adopted by the Board. The Board may from time to time designate other meetings as subject to compensation.

Each Portfolio pays each Independent Director/Trustee its pro rata share, as described below, of: (i) an annual retainer of $270,000; (ii) Mr. Obermeyer, as the Chairperson of the Board, receives an additional annual retainer of $100,000; (iii) Mses. Baldwin and Pressler and Messrs. Boyer, Gavin, and Sullivan, as the Chairpersons of Committees of the Board, each receives an

additional annual retainer of $30,000, $65,000, $30,000, $60,000, and $30,000, respectively; (iv) $10,000 per attendance at any of the regularly scheduled meetings (four (4) quarterly meetings, two (2) auxiliary meetings, and two (2) annual contract review meetings); and (v) out-of-pocket expenses. The Board at its discretion may from time to time designate other special meetings as subject to compensation in such amounts as the Board may reasonably determine on a case-by-case basis.

The pro rata share paid by a Portfolio is based on the Portfolio’s average net assets as a percentage of the average net assets of all the portfolios managed by the Adviser or its affiliate for which the Directors/Trustees serve in common as Directors/Trustees.

Future Compensation Payment

Certain future payment arrangements apply to certain Directors/Trustees. More particularly, each Independent Director/Trustee who will have served as an Independent Director/Trustee for five or more years for one or more portfolios in the Voya family of funds is entitled to a future payment (“Future Payment”), if such Trustee: (i) retires in accordance with the Board’s retirement policy; (ii) dies; or (iii) becomes disabled. The Future Payment shall be made promptly to, as applicable, the Director/Trustee or the Director’s/Trustee’s estate, in an amount equal to two (2) times the annual compensation payable to such Director/Director/Trustee as in effect at the time of his or her retirement, death or disability if the Director/Trustee had served as Director/Trustee for at least five years as of May 9, 2007, or in a lesser amount calculated based on the proportion of time served by such Director/Trustee (as compared to five years) as of May 9, 2007. The annual compensation determination shall be based upon the annual Board membership retainer fee in effect at the time of that Director’s/Trustee’s retirement, death or disability (but not any separate annual retainer fees for chairpersons of committees and of the Board), provided that the annual compensation used for this purpose shall not exceed the annual retainer fees as of May 9, 2007. This amount shall be paid by the Voya portfolio or Voya portfolios on whose Board the Director/Trustee was serving at the time of his or her retirement, death, or disability. Each applicable Director/Trustee may elect to receive payment of his or her benefit in a lump sum or in three substantially equal payments.

Compensation Table

Appendix B sets forth information provided by the Adviser regarding compensation of Directors/Trustees by the Portfolios and other portfolios managed by the Adviser and its affiliates during each Portfolio’s most recently completed fiscal year. Officers of the Companies and Directors/Trustees who are interested persons of the Companies do not receive any compensation from the Companies or any other portfolios managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

Do the Independent Directors/Trustees and the Nominees own shares of the Portfolios or certain affiliate entities?

Appendix C sets forth information regarding each Director’s/Trustee’s beneficial ownership of equity securities of the Portfolios and the aggregate holdings of shares of equity securities of all the portfolios in the Voya family of funds as of December 31, 2024.

As of the Record Date, none of the Independent Directors/Trustees (or their immediate family members) owned any interest in securities of the Adviser or Principal Underwriter, or in an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser or Principal Underwriter of the Portfolio (not including registered investment companies).

How is the Board structured?

The Board is currently comprised of six (6) members, all of whom are Independent Directors/Trustees. If all Nominees are elected, the Board will be comprised of ten (10) members, nine (9) of whom are Independent Directors/Trustees and one (1) interested Director/Trustee. With the anticipated retirements of Ms. Pressler and Mr. Gavin at the end of 2025, the Board would have eight (8) members, seven (7) of whom are Independent Trustees and one

(1) Interested Trustee.

The Companies are 8 of 19 registered investment companies (with a total of approximately 131 separate series) in the Voya family of funds and all the Directors/Trustees serve as and, if elected, the Nominees will serve as members of, as applicable, each investment company’s Board of Directors or Board of Trustees. The Board employs substantially the same leadership structure with respect to each of these investment companies.

One of the Independent Directors/Trustees, currently Joseph E. Obermeyer, serves as the Chairperson of the Board. The responsibilities of the Chairperson of the Board include: coordinating with management in the preparation of agendas for Board meetings; presiding at Board meetings; between Board meetings, serving as a primary liaison with other Directors/Trustees, officers of the Companies, management personnel, and legal counsel to the Independent Directors/Trustees; and such other duties as the Board periodically may determine. Mr. Obermeyer does not hold a position with any firm that is a sponsor of any Company The designation of an individual as the Chairperson does not impose on such Independent Director/Trustee any duties, obligations or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations or liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.

The Board performs many of its oversight and other activities through the committee structure described below in the “Board Committees” section. Each Committee operates pursuant to a written charter approved by the Board. The Board currently conducts regular meetings eight (8) times a year. In addition, during the course of a year, the Board and many of its Committees typically hold special meetings by telephone or in person to discuss specific matters that require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Independent Directors/Trustees have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board believes that its committee structure is an effective means of empowering the Directors/Trustees to perform their fiduciary and other duties. For example, the Board’s committee structure facilitates, as appropriate, the ability of individual Board members to receive detailed presentations on topics under their review and to develop increased familiarity with respect to such topics and with key personnel at relevant service providers. At least annually, with guidance from its Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board analyzes whether there are potential means to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board’s operations.

PROPOSAL 2 – APPROVAL OF A CHANGE OF SUB-

CLASSIFICATION FROM “DIVERSIFIED” TO “NON-DIVERSIFIED”

VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio

What Is Proposal 2?

At a meeting on May 15 2025, the Board of Trustees of VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio (the “RE Portfolio”) approved, based upon the recommendation of the RE Portfolio’s investment adviser Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Adviser”) and the consideration of other factors, a change of RE Portfolio’s sub-classification (a “Change of Sub- Classification”) from “diversified” to “non-diversified,” as such terms are defined in the 1940 Act, subject to shareholder approval of the change. At the Meeting, the Change of Sub-Classification, including elimination of the related fundamental policy, will be submitted to the Portfolio’s shareholders for approval.

RE Portfolio is currently sub-classified as diversified for purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act. In addition, RE Portfolio is also subject to a related fundamental investment restriction which prohibits it from making any investment inconsistent with its classification as a diversified portfolio.

As a diversified portfolio, the RE Portfolio is generally limited as to the amount it may invest in any single issuer. The 1940 Act requires that, to qualify as a “diversified” portfolio, a portfolio may not, with respect to at least 75% of the value of its total assets, invest in securities of any issuer if, immediately after the investment, more than 5% of the total assets of the portfolio (taken at current value) would be invested in the securities of that issuer or the portfolio would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. Under the 1940 Act, these percentage limitations do not apply to cash or cash items (including receivables), securities issued by investment companies, or any “Government security.” A Government security is any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United Sates pursuant to authority granted by the Congress of the United Sates, or any certificate of deposit for any of the forgoing. The remaining 25% of the portfolio’s total assets are not subject to this restriction. This means that, with respect to the remaining 25% of the portfolio’s total assets, a diversified portfolio may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one issuer and may hold more than 10% of an issuer’s outstanding voting securities.

By changing its sub-classification to “non-diversified” and eliminating the related fundamental investment restriction, the RE Portfolio would no longer be subject to these limitations. Accordingly, the change would give the RE Portfolio the ability to invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified portfolio. Under

the 1940 Act, shareholder approval is necessary for a change in sub-classification from “diversified” to “non-diversified.”

The RE Portfolio’s diversified sub-classification is reflected in a fundamental policy requiring it to meet the diversification requirement. The RE Portfolio’s policy is shown below:

VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio may not invest in a security if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of the total assets (taken at market value at the time of such investment) would be invested in the securities of any one issuer, except that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

The vote to approve the Change of Sub-Classification will include a vote to eliminate this fundamental policy. If approved by shareholders at the meeting, the Change of Sub-Classification would take effect on November 1, 2025.

Why is a Change of Sub-Classification Proposed?

The RE Portfolio was historically classified as a non-diversified portfolio under the 1940 Act. However, after operating as a diversified portfolio for three years, the Portfolio’s classification was changed by operation of law under the 1940 Act on January 30, 2015. The Adviser believes changing the RE Portfolio back to a non-diversified portfolio will provide potential benefits to shareholders, including the potential for improved performance.

What is the impact on the risk profile of the RE Portfolio?

As a non-diversified portfolio, there is increased investment flexibility to invest a larger portion of a portfolio’s assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers, which makes a portfolio more susceptible to economic, business, political or other factors affecting the particular issuers in which it invests because larger investments in individual companies will have a greater effect on the portfolio’s performance.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Following its consideration of Voya Investments’ recommendation to approve the Proposal, the Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Proposal.

What factors were considered by the Board?

At a meeting held on May 15, 2025 (the "Board Meeting"), the Board evaluated and considered whether to approve the Change of Sub-Classification and recommended its approval to shareholders of the RE Portfolio. During the course of their evaluation, the Board reviewed materials received from the Adviser and other information made available to them with respect to the proposed Change in Sub-Classification. The Board was provided with information both in writing and during oral presentations provided to the Board at the Board Meeting. After the presentations to and consideration by Board, the Board recommended approval of the Change of Sub-Classification. In reaching their decision to approve the Change in Sub-Classification and recommend its approval to shareholders of the RE Portfolio, no single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis. Rather, the Trustees considered a variety of factors, including, without limitation, (1) the representations that the Adviser and the sub- adviser to RE Portfolio support this change, (2) the potential effects of the change of sub-classification on the RE Portfolio, and (3) the estimated costs of obtaining the required shareholder approval and implementing these changes and who would bear those costs. The Board further considered the Adviser's representation that the estimated cost of the proxy solicitation regarding this proposal would be considered an expense of RE Portfolio.

What is the required vote?

Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of RE Portfolio, which for this purpose means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of RE Portfolio or (ii) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of RE Portfolio present at the Meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of RE Portfolio are present at the Meeting in person (virtually) or represented by proxy. All shareholders of RE Portfolio vote together as a single class.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROXY STATEMENT

Who is asking for my vote?

The Board is soliciting your vote for a joint special meeting of each Company’s shareholders, as well as votes specific to shareholders of RE Portfolio.

How is my proxy being solicited?

The Companies have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the “Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies or voting instructions. The estimated cost associated with the solicitation under this Proxy Statement is $1,289,610, which will be borne by the Portfolios; provided, that, with respect to Proposal 1, due to the application of expense limitation arrangements or other management fee arrangements applicable for certain Portfolios, it is expected that the Adviser will bear a portion of the costs associated with this Proxy Statement. Proposal 2 described in this Proxy Statement will be paid for by VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio. As the date of the Meeting 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 Portfolios. 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), 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 Voting Instruction Card, 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 Voting Instruction Card. 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 Meeting, you may contact the Solicitor toll-free at 1-844-202-7120. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers and representatives of the Portfolios, 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 Portfolio 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 Companies a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In addition, any shareholder who attends the Meeting in person (virtually) may vote by ballot at the Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy or voting instruction 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 Voting Instruction Card 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 the Meeting. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, the Board knew of no matter that needed to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Quorum and Tabulation

Each shareholder of each Portfolio is entitled to one vote for each share held as to any matter on which such shareholder is entitled to vote and for each fractional share that is owned, the shareholder shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.

With respect to Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Voya Variable Portfolios, the presence in person (virtually) or by proxy of one-fourth of the votes entitled to be case constitutes a quorum. With respect to Voya Investors Trust, the holders of thirty percent of the outstanding shares of each series or class present in person (virtually) or by proxy shall constitute a quorum. With respect to Voya Partners, Inc., the presence in person (virtually) or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast

a majority in number of votes shall constitute a quorum. With respect to Voya Variable Insurance Trust, one-third of shares entitled to vote in person (virtually) or by proxy shall constitute a quorum. With respect to Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., the presence of shareholders, in person (virtually) or by proxy, of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. With respect to Voya Variable Products Trust, the holders of a majority of outstanding shares present in person (virtually) or by proxy shall constitute a quorum.

Adjournments

If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, if there are insufficient votes to approve any proposal, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by your proxies, one or more adjournments of the Meeting may be proposed to permit additional time for the solicitation of proxies, in accordance with the organizational documents of each Company and applicable law. Solicitation of votes may continue to be made without any obligation to provide any additional notice of the adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournments in their discretion.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any matter, or if a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy, indicating a lack of authority to vote on a matter, then the shares represented by such abstention or broker non-vote will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Whether an abstention or broker non-vote is counted as a vote against a proposal depends on the specifics of the proposal, any relevant provision of a Company’s organizational documents, and the relevant state law.

With respect to Proposal One, for each of Voya Investors Trust, Voya Variable Insurance Trust and Voya Variable Products Trust, abstentions are disregarded. For each of the other Companies, abstentions are counted as a vote against. Because Proposal One is considered to be a “routine” voting item, the Companies do not expect to receive any broker non-votes for Proposal One at the Meeting.

With respect to Proposal Two, for Voya Investors Trust, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as a vote against.

Additional Information

Variable Contract Holders can instruct their insurance company through which they hold beneficial interests in the Portfolios as to how to vote by completing, signing and returning the enclosed Voting Instruction Card(s) promptly in the enclosed envelope, or by attending the Meeting in person

(virtually) and voting. Joint owners should each sign the Voting Instruction Card(s).

Shares of the Portfolios are sold to Separate Accounts and are used as investment options under Variable Contracts. Variable Contract Holders who select a Portfolio for investment through a Variable Contract have a beneficial interest in the Portfolio, but do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Portfolio. An insurance company that uses a Portfolio as a funding vehicle, is, in most cases, the legal shareholder of the Portfolio and, as such, has sole voting power with respect to the shares, but generally will pass through any voting rights to Variable Contract Holders. Therefore, for Separate Accounts that are registered with the SEC, an insurance company will request voting instructions from the Variable Contract Holder and will vote shares or other interests in the Separate Account as directed by the Variable Contract Holder. In the event that any Variable Contract Holder fails to provide voting instructions with respect to Separate Accounts registered with the SEC, the insurance company will vote the shares attributable to those Variable Contract Holders for, against, or abstain, in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received from Variable Contract Holders investing through the same Separate Account, even if only a small number of variable Contract Holders provide voting instructions. With respect to Portfolio shares held by unregistered Separate Accounts, an insurance company generally will only vote those Separate Account shares for which it receives instructions.

Variable Contract Holders permitted to give instructions to an insurance company and the number of shares for which such instructions may be given for purposes of voting at the Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, will be determined as of the Record Date. In connection with the solicitation of such instructions from Variable Contract Holders, it is expected that the respective insurance companies will furnish a copy of this Proxy Statement to Variable Contract Holders.

Shares of the Portfolios are also sold directly to the trustees and custodians of certain Qualified Plans. The trustee or custodian for the Qualified Plan that includes a Portfolio as an investment option, is, in most cases, the legal shareholder of the Portfolio and, as such, has sole voting power with respect to the shares, but generally will pass through any voting rights to the Qualified Plan and in some cases their plan participants who have an interest in the Portfolio. With respect to Portfolio shares held by trustees or custodians of Qualified Plans, the trustee or custodian generally will only vote those shares for which it actually receives instructions.

Qualified Plans, and in some cases their participants, are permitted to give instructions to the Portfolios and the number of shares for which instructions may be given for purposes of voting at the Meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, will be determined as of the Record Date. In connection with the solicitation of such instructions from Qualified Plans or their participants, it is expected that the respective trustees/custodians will furnish a copy of this Proxy Statement to the Qualified Plan and its participants, as applicable.

If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, he or she may submit the Voting Instruction Cards originally sent with the Proxy Statement or attend the Meeting in person (virtually). All persons entitled to direct the voting of shares, whether they are Variable Contract Holders, insurance companies, trustees/custodians, Qualified Plans or participants are described as voting for purposes of this Proxy Statement. Shareholders can vote by completing, signing and returning the enclosed Voting Instruction Cards promptly in the enclosed envelope, through telephone touch-tone voting, via Internet voting, or by attending the Meeting in person (virtually) and voting. To vote by telephone or Internet, follow the voting instructions outlined on your Voting Instruction Cards. These options require shareholders to input a control number, which is located on your Voting Instruction Cards. After entering this number, shareholders will be prompted to provide their voting instructions on each Proposal. Shareholders will have the opportunity to review their voting instructions and make any necessary changes before submitting their voting instructions and terminating their telephone call or Internet link. Shareholders who vote on the Internet, in addition to confirming their voting instructions prior to submission, may also request an e-mail confirming their instructions. Joint owners must each sign the Voting Instruction Cards. Shareholders of the Portfolios whose shares are held by nominees, such as brokers, may vote their shares by contacting their respective nominee.

How many shares are outstanding?

Appendix F includes the shares outstanding for each Portfolio. Shares have no preemptive or subscription rights. To the knowledge of the Adviser, as of June 16, 2025, no current Director/Trustee owns 1% or more of the outstanding shares of each Portfolio, and the officers and Directors/Trustees own, as a group, less than 1% of the shares of each Portfolio. Appendix G lists the persons that, as of June 16, 2025 owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of each Portfolio.

Can shareholders submit proposals for a future shareholder meeting?

The Companies are not required to hold annual meetings and currently do not intend to hold such meetings unless shareholder action is required in accordance with the 1940 Act or other applicable law. A shareholder proposal to

be considered for inclusion in a proxy statement at any subsequent meeting of shareholders must be submitted a reasonable time before a proxy statement for that meeting is printed and mailed. Whether a proposal is included in a proxy statement will be determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.

Who are the Companies’ independent public accountants?

The Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to each Company for the current fiscal year.

As part of its oversight of each Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the Adviser and E&Y each Company’s audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Audit Committee discussed with E&Y the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1301, Communications with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from E&Y pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526 and discussed E&Y’s independence with E&Y. Based on the reviews and discussion referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in each Company’s Annual Reports to shareholders.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board

Colleen D. Baldwin

Martin J. Gavin (Chairperson)

Christopher P. Sullivan

The fees paid to E&Y for professional audit services during each Company’s two most recent fiscal years, amounts billed for other services rendered by E&Y to each Company, and the aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to each Company, the Adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to each Company for the two most recently completed fiscal years, are described in Appendix H.

All of the services provided by the independent public accountants were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures adopted by the Audit Committee. Pursuant to such policies and procedures, the Audit Committee approves: (i) all audit and non-audit services to be rendered to each Portfolio by E&Y; and (ii) all non-audit services impacting the operations and financial reporting of each Portfolio provided by E&Y to the Adviser or any affiliate thereof that provides ongoing services to each Company (collectively, “Covered Services”). The Audit Committee has adopted pre- approval procedures authorizing one or more members of the Audit Committee to approve from time to time, on behalf of the Audit Committee, all Covered Services to be provided by E&Y which are not otherwise approved at a meeting of the Audit Committee, provided that such delegate reports to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The pre-approval procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to

management. Pre-approval has not been waived with respect to any of the services described above since the date on which the Audit Committee adopted its current pre-approval procedures.

The Audit Committee has considered and will periodically consider whether E&Y’s provision of non-audit services to the Adviser and all entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to each Company that were not required to be pre- approved is compatible with maintaining the independence of E&Y.

Representatives of E&Y are not expected to be at the Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

1Directors/Trustees serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The tenure of each Director/Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Portfolio (as defined below, “Independent Trustee”) is subject to the Board’s retirement policy, which states that each duly elected or appointed Independent Director/Trustee shall retire from and cease to be a member of the Board of Directors/Trustees at the close of business on December 31 of the calendar year in which the Independent Director/Trustee attains the age of 75. A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Directors/Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Director/Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Company under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the Independent Director/Trustee or otherwise complying 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 Directors/Trustees).

2For the purposes of this table, “Fund Complex” includes the following investment companies: Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund; Voya Credit Income Fund; Voya Emerging Markets High Dividend Equity Fund; Voya Enhanced Securitized Income Fund; Voya Equity Trust; Voya Funds Trust; Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund; Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund; Voya Government Money Market Portfolio; Voya Infrastructure, Industrials and Materials Fund; Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio; Voya Investors Trust; Voya Mutual Funds; Voya Partners, Inc.; Voya Separate Portfolios Trust; Voya Variable Funds; Voya Variable Insurance Trust; Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc.; and Voya Variable Products Trust. The number of funds in the Fund Complex is as of May 31, 2025.

APPENDIX B: COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES

The following table sets forth compensation information (excluding travel expenses) relating to the Directors/Trustees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. “None” in the table indicates that, because the Fund was not in operation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, no Director/Trustee received any compensation from the Fund during that time.
