3.The third, fourth and fifth sentence of the second paragraph of the section entitled "More Information about the Fund – An Introduction to the Fund's Managed Payment Policy" of the Fund's Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
Voya currently expects the annual rate at which any class will make payments will typically range between 3.25% and 6.75%, although Voya may in its discretion set the annual rate above or below the range based on its consideration of a number of factors, including among other things, market conditions and its perception of shareholder expectations. The level monthly payment amount for calendar year 2022 will be the product of: (i) the Annual Payment Rate of 6.22% for Class A shares, 5.32% for Class C shares, 6.53% for Class I shares, 5.87% for Class R shares, 6.53% for Class R6 shares, 6.22% for Class T shares, and 6.47% for Class W shares, divided by 12; and (ii) the average month end per share value of a reference account holding shares of the Fund (plus shares received with respect to re-investment of any special distributions of income or capital gains) over the previous three calendar years (or if shorter, since inception) ("Trailing Average Account Value"). On this basis, investors holding 10,000 shares would generate a monthly payment of $380 from holdings in Class A shares, $340 from holdings in Class C shares, $400 from holdings in Class I shares, $360 from holdings in
Class R shares, $400 from holdings in Class R6 shares, $380 from holdings in Class T shares, and $400 from holdings in Class W shares of the Fund during 2022.
