NOTICE OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT PROPOSED FUND REORGANIZATIONS
On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of Voya Investors Trust (the "Board") approved proposals to reorganize each Disappearing Portfolio with and into the following "Surviving Fund" (each, a "Reorganization" and together, the "Reorganizations"):
Disappearing Portfolios | Surviving Fund |
Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio |
Voya Large Cap Value Fund (a series of Voya Equity Trust) |
Each proposed Reorganization is subject to approval by the shareholders of the relevant Disappearing Portfolio. A proxy statement/prospectus detailing the proposed Reorganizations is expected to be mailed to the Disappearing Portfolios' shareholders on or about November 7, 2025, and a combined shareholder meeting is scheduled to be held on or about January 6, 2026. The Disappearing Portfolios will notify their shareholders if shareholder approval of a proposed Reorganization is not obtained. If shareholder approval of the proposed Reorganizations is obtained, it is expected that the proposed Reorganizations will take place on or about February 6, 2026 (the "Closing Date").
If shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolios approve the proposed Reorganizations, from the close of business on January 23, 2026 through the close of business on February 6, 2026, the Disappearing Portfolios will be in a "transition period" during which time the Disappearing Portfolios' holdings will, to the extent necessary, be aligned with those of the Surviving Fund. During this time, the Disappearing Portfolios may not be pursuing their 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 Portfolios are not offered directly to the public. Purchase and sale of shares of the Disappearing Portfolios 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 Portfolios. 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.
X.01107-25C | September 2025 |
Following the Reorganizations, the Disappearing Portfolios' shareholders will hold shares of the Surviving Fund.
