INTRODUCTION
The Manager is the investment manager for each series of each of the Trusts, including the Funds. Pursuant to “manager of managers” authority, the Manager, subject to approval by the Board, is permitted to hire, terminate, or replace sub-advisors who are affiliated or unaffiliated with the Trusts or the Manager, and to enter into and modify material terms and conditions of the related sub-advisory agreements without shareholder approval. Section 15(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), generally requires that the shareholders of a mutual fund approve an agreement pursuant to which a person serves as investment advisor or sub-advisor of the fund. In order to use the “manager of managers” authority discussed above, the Manager, the Trusts, and certain affiliates requested and received an exemptive order from the SEC on January 17, 2017 (the “SEC Order”).  The SEC Order exempts the Manager, the Trusts and other affiliates from certain of the shareholder approval requirements of Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act and allows the Board, subject to certain conditions, to appoint new sub-advisors and approve new sub-advisory agreements on behalf of the Trusts without shareholder approval.  The Manager has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to supervise the sub-advisors and recommend the hiring, termination, and replacement of the sub-advisors to the Board.
 
Consistent with the terms of the SEC Order, at a meeting held on May 19-20, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts or of the Manager (the “Independent Trustees”) approved an amendment of the Manager’s existing sub-advisory agreement (the “Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with its advisory affiliate, Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (“NCRAM”), pursuant to which NCRAM would serve as the sub-advisor for the high-yield fixed income sleeve of each of the Funds.1 NCRAM currently serves as a sub-advisor to certain high-yield fixed income funds within the Nomura Funds complex.
 __________________
1 On August 12, 2026, the Board approved the conversion of the Nomura Diversified Income Fund and Nomura Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund into exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) pursuant to shell reorganizations. The shell ETF into which a Fund will be reorganized will have the same investment objective, strategies, risks, investment manager (Delaware Management Company) and sub-advisor (NCRAM) as the Fund.
3
 
The Trusts and the Manager have agreed to comply with certain conditions when acting in reliance on the relief granted in the SEC Order. These conditions require, among other things, that within ninety (90) days of hiring a new sub-advisor, the affected fund will notify the shareholders of the fund of the changes. The Notice provides such notice of the changes, and this Joint Information Statement presents additional details regarding NCRAM and the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement.
 
THE INVESTMENT MANAGER
The Manager is located at 100 Independence, 610 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106-2354, and is a series of Nomura Investment Management Business Trust, which is an indirect subsidiary of Nomura Asset Management International Inc. (“NAMI”), which in turn is an indirect subsidiary, and subject to the ultimate control, of Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“Nomura”).  The Manager is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
 
The Manager provides investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to investment management agreements dated December 1, 2025 between the Trusts and the Manager, as amended (the “Management Agreements”).  The Trusts employ the Manager to generally manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds.  In so doing, the Manager may hire one or more sub-advisors to carry out the investment program of the Funds, subject to the approval of the Board. The Manager continuously reviews and supervises the investment program of the Funds. The Manager furnishes regular reports to the Board regarding the investment program and performance of the Funds.
 
Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Manager has full discretion and responsibility, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, to select and contract with one or more investment sub-advisors, to manage the investment operations and composition of the Funds, and to render investment advice for the Funds, including the purchase, retention, and disposition of investments, securities, and cash held by the Funds. The Management Agreements obligate the Manager to implement decisions with respect to the allocation or reallocation of each Fund’s assets among one or more current or additional sub-advisors, and to monitor the sub-advisors’ compliance with the Funds’ investment objective(s), policies, and restrictions. Under the Management Agreement, the Trusts will bear the expenses of conducting their business. In addition, the Manager pays the salaries of all officers and Trustees of the Trusts who are officers, directors, or employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
As compensation for the services rendered under the Management Agreements, the Funds pay the Manager an annual management fee as a percentage of their respective average daily net assets as described in Exhibit A.

THE AMENDED SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board at the Meeting, which was called, among other purposes, to approve the amendment of the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement, which, as noted above, had previously been approved by the Board in connection with the appointment of NCRAM as sub-advisor to other funds within the Nomura Funds Complex and is dated April 30, 2026, has an initial term of two years. Thereafter, continuance of the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement will require the annual approval of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
 
The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that NCRAM, among other duties, will make all investment decisions for its allocated portion of each Fund’s investment portfolio in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. NCRAM, subject to the supervision of the Board and the Manager, will conduct an ongoing program of investment, evaluation, and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of its allocated portion of each Fund’s assets. NCRAM also will perform certain other administrative and compliance-related functions in connection with the management of its allocated portion of each Fund’s investment portfolio.
 
The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement provides for NCRAM to be compensated based on the average daily net assets of each Fund allocated to NCRAM. NCRAM is compensated from the fees that the Manager receives from the Funds.  NCRAM generally will pay all expenses it incurs in connection with its activities under the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement, other than the costs of the Funds’ portfolio securities and other investments.
 
The Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated without the payment of any penalty by: (i) the Manager or the Trusts, at any time on written notice to NCRAM of the  Manager’s or the Trusts’ intention to do so, in the case of the Trusts pursuant to action by the Board or pursuant to the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds, or (ii) NCRAM, on not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Manager and the Trusts.
 
THE MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION AND THE BOARD’S CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE AMENDED SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
 
The Manager recommended the appointment of NCRAM as sub-advisor to the Funds and the approval of the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement to include the Funds. In reaching the decision to approve the amendment, the Board considered and reviewed information about NCRAM, including its personnel, operations and financial condition. The Board reviewed a memorandum responding to requests that the Board submitted in advance that discussed (without limitation): the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement and the various services proposed to be rendered by NCRAM; information concerning NCRAM’s organizational structure and the experience of its investment management personnel; and various other material items in relation to NCRAM’s personnel, organization and policies. The Board also reviewed a copy of NCRAM’s Form ADV; and a copy of the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement and fee schedules.
 
In considering such materials, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While attention was given to all information furnished, the
7
 
following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision. This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board (as well as the discussion above) is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather summarizes certain factors considered by the Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered, the Board did not, unless otherwise noted, find it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the following factors. In addition, individual Trustees may have assigned different weights to various factors.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.  The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of services that NCRAM was expected to provide as a sub-advisor to the Funds. The Board took into account the investment process to be employed by NCRAM in connection with the sub-advisor’s responsibilities in conjunction with the Manager in managing the Funds, and the qualifications and experience of NCRAM’s team with regard to implementing the investment mandate of the Funds. The Board considered NCRAM’s personnel, operations, and its affiliation with the Manager, including that NCRAM was affiliated with the Manager. The Board also considered the Manager’s review and recommendation process with respect to NCRAM, and the Manager’s favorable assessment as to the nature, quality, and extent of the sub-advisory services expected to be provided by NCRAM to the Funds.
 
Investment Performance. In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that NCRAM had not yet managed the Funds. The Board then reviewed information on and considered NCRAM’s experience in managing other high income investment portfolios, noting that NCRAM had recently begun sub-advising several high-yield fixed income funds in the Nomura Funds complex. The Board also considered the Manager’s representation that the Manager would continue to provide oversight and monitor NCRAM’s services.
 
Profitability, Economies of Scale and Fall-Out Benefits. Information about NCRAM’s profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not available because it had not begun to provide services to the Funds. The Board was provided with pro forma profitability analyses of Nomura Investment Management Business Trust, including the estimated subadvisory fee that would be paid to NCRAM. The Trustees also noted that economies of scale are shared with each Fund and its shareholders through reduced proportionate costs for shareholders and the Manager’s investment management fee breakpoints paid to the Manager so that as a Fund grows in size, its effective investment management fee rate declines.  They also noted that the Manager had put in place a fee waiver for each Fund that was currently in effect, other than for the Nomura Asset Strategy Fund which does not have a fee waiver.
 
The Board was also provided with information on potential fall-out benefits derived or to be derived by NCRAM in connection with its relationship to the Funds, including confirmation that NCRAM does not enter into soft dollar arrangements involving the receipt of third party research, and, therefore, does not expect to use soft dollar arrangements in the management of the Funds. The Board considered that NCRAM had recently begun sub-advising certain high-yield funds within the Nomura Funds complex and that it expects to receive the opportunity for wider distribution in the US retail market, which helps NCRAM grow and diversify its client base.
 
Sub-advisory Fees. The Board considered the appropriateness of the sub-advisory fees in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the sub-advisory services to be provided by NCRAM. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are paid by the Manager to NCRAM and are not additional fees borne by the Funds, and that the management fee paid by the Funds to the Manager would stay the same at current asset levels and are subject to breakpoints at higher asset levels. The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee rates under the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in relation to the services provided and that execution of the Amended Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders.

The Joint Information Statement details the approval of the amendment of the existing sub-advisory agreement with Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc.

Delaware Management Company (the “Manager”) is the investment manager to each series of the Trusts, including the Funds. The Manager employs a “manager of managers” arrangement in managing the assets of the Trusts. In connection therewith, the Trusts and the Manager have received an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Order”), which permits the Manager, with the approval of the Board, to hire, terminate, or replace sub-advisors who are affiliated or unaffiliated with the Trusts or the Manager, and to enter into and modify material terms and conditions of the related sub-advisory agreement without shareholder approval.
 
Pursuant to the SEC Order, this Notice of Internet Availability of Joint Information Statement is being mailed beginning on or about August 24, 2026 to shareholders of record of the Funds as of August 10, 2026.
