NOTICE OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ABOUT A PROPOSED FUND REORGANIZATION

On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of Voya Investors Trust (the "Board") approved a proposal to reorganize the Disappearing Portfolio with and into the following "Surviving Fund" (the "Reorganization"):

Disappearing Portfolio Surviving Fund
Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio Voya Large Cap Value Fund (a series of Voya Equity Trust)

The proposed Reorganization is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolio. A proxy statement/prospectus detailing the proposed Reorganization is expected to be mailed to the Disappearing Portfolios' shareholders on or about November 7, 2025, and shareholder meetings are scheduled to be held on or about January 6, 2026. The Disappearing Portfolio will notify their shareholders if shareholder approval of a proposed Reorganization is not obtained. If shareholder approval of the proposed Reorganization is obtained, it is expected that the proposed Reorganization will take place on or about February 6, 2026 (the "Closing Date").

If shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolio approve the proposed Reorganization, from the close of business on January 23, 2026 through the close of business on February 6, 2026, the Disappearing Portfolio will be in a "transition period" during which time the Disappearing Portfolio's holdings will, to the extent necessary, be aligned with those of the Surviving Fund. During this time, the Disappearing Portfolio may not be pursuing its investment objective and strategies, and limitations on permissible investments and investment restrictions will not apply. The sales and purchases of securities during the transition period are expected to result in buy and sell transactions and such transactions may be made at a disadvantageous time.

Please note that the Disappearing Portfolio is not offered directly to the public. Purchase and sale of shares of the Disappearing Portfolio may be made only by separate accounts of insurance companies serving as investment options under Variable Contracts or by Qualified Plans, custodian accounts, and certain investment advisers and their affiliates, other investment companies, or permitted investors. The Surviving Fund is offered directly to the public and eligibility to invest in the Surviving Fund is not restricted in the same manner as the Disappearing Portfolio. As a result, the Surviving Fund may not be appropriate for certain shareholders investing under Variable Contracts. Additional information will be provided in the forthcoming proxy statement/prospectus.

Following the Reorganization, the Disappearing Portfolio's shareholders will hold shares of the Surviving Fund.
