Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement dated November 18, 2014, among Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin”), sub-adviser to VY® Franklin Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), Voya Investors Trust, and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”)(1), the sub-advisory fee rate for the Portfolio was reduced on January 1, 2016.  On May 1, 2017, a new Sub-Advisory Agreement was executed between Franklin and Voya Investments, LLC (“VIL”).

 

By our execution of this letter agreement, we hereby notify you of our intention to lower the annual investment management fee for the Portfolio, if a benefit exists, with a corresponding reduction (the “Reduction”) for the period from May 1, 2017 through May 1, 2018.  The Reduction shall be calculated as follows:

 

Reduction = 50% x (the savings to Voya Investments, LLC from the January 1, 2016 sub-advisory fee rate reduction)

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination or modification of this letter agreement requires approval by the Board of Trustees of the Registrant.
