Each Fund's Board of Trustees has authorized an open-market
share repurchase program pursuant to which each Fund may purchase,
over a one year period beginning in March
2016, up to 10% of its stock, in open-market
transactions.
The amount and timing of the repurchases will be at the
discretion of the Funds' management, subject to market conditions
and investment considerations. There is no assurance that the Funds
will purchase shares at any particular discount levels or in any
particular amounts. Any repurchases made under this program
would be made on a national securities exchange at the prevailing
market price, subject to exchange requirements and volume, timing
and other limitations under federal securities laws. The
share repurchase program seeks to enhance shareholder value by
purchasing shares trading at a discount from their net asset value
("NAV") per share.
Certain statements made on behalf of the Funds in this release
are forward-looking statements. The Funds actual future results may
differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking
statements due to numerous factors, including but not limited to a
decline in value in equity markets in general or the Funds'
investments specifically. Neither the Funds nor Voya Investment
Management undertake any responsibility to update publicly or
revise any forward looking statement.
