OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

Article Ninth, Section (d) of the Articles of Incorporation for Voya Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) provides for indemnification of directors and officers. In addition, the Company’s directors and officers will be covered under a directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance policy issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company.

Reference is also made to Section 2-418 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland which provides generally that (1) a corporation may (but is not required to) indemnify its directors for judgments, fines and expenses in proceedings in which the director is named a party solely by reason of being a director, provided the director has not acted in bad faith, dishonestly or unlawfully, and provided further that the director has not received any “improper personal benefit”; and (2) that a corporation must (unless otherwise provided in the corporation's charter or articles of incorporation) indemnify a director if he or she is successful on the merits in defending a suit against him or her by reason of being a director. The statutory provisions are not exclusive; a corporation may provide greater indemnification rights than those provided by statute.
