You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds' investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds' Plan. The Funds' estimate that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Funds' is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Funds' investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds' investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Funds' will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar investments, investors' expectations for future distribution changes, the clarity of the Fund's investment strategy and future return expectations, and investors' confidence in the underlying markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.
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.
This information should not be used as a basis for legal and/or tax advice. In any specific case, the parties involved should seek the guidance and advice of their own legal and tax counsel.

2 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy on the Dip
Key Points Pfizer's pipeline in oncology, combined with its cost-cutting initiatives, could help it bounce back. Merck could move beyond Keytruda thanks to newer approvals and a novel formulation of the medicine. Both companies have increased their dividends at a decent rate over the past five years. 10 stocks we like better than Pfizer › Dividend stocks are a great investment choice for many reasons. Buying on the dip is even better, provided, of course, they have the means to bounce back. Investors looking for companies that fit this profile should strongly consider Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Merck (NYSE: MRK). These two market leaders have lagged broader equities over the trailing-12-month period, but for those focused on the long game, they still look attractive. Here's the rundown. 1. Pfizer Over the past few years, Pfizer has dealt with worsening financial results and stiff competition for some products. It also faces the prospect of losing patent protection for others; these include Eliquis, an anticoagulant that is one of its top-selling drugs, and Xtandi, a cancer treatment. Both will lose their patents in the U.S. within the next few years. These challenges have led to terrible stock-market performance. However, the sell-off may have gone too far. At current levels, Pfizer's shares look attractive. One reason the company should bounce back and continue to deliver strong returns over the long run is its deep pipeline, particularly in oncology, one of the largest therapeutic areas in the industry. Pfizer currently has five blockbuster cancer medicines, and plans to raise that number to eight by 2030. Pfizer has exciting candidates in other areas as well, and in recent years has earned approval for several new products. Though these aren't yet meaningfully contributing to its top-line growth, they should do so eventually as they earn label expansion. The company's vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Abrysvo, generated $143 million in sales in the second quarter, which isn't bad for a product approved in 2023. It also recently earned a label expansion in Europe for adults age 18 to 59 (it was previously indicated for those 60 and older). Pfizer should make progress with Abrysvo and other newer launches. The company has also been reducing expenses. These initiatives were likely partly responsible for Pfizer's earnings beat during the second quarter. Management intends to achieve $4.5 billion in net cost savings this year and pursue further reductions in the years ahead, efforts that should help improve profitability. Pfizer is a solid dividend stock. Its forward yield currently tops 7%, and the company has increased its payouts by 19.5% in the past five years. While the stock may take some time to recover, Pfizer could be an excellent long-term investment for income-seeking investors. 2. Merck Merck is facing several issues, none more important than increased competition for its best-selling drug, cancer medicine Keytruda, and an upcoming patent cliff in 2028 for the medicine. Also, the company's second-quarter results were not strong: Revenue declined by 2% year over year to $15.8 billion, while adjusted earnings per share declined by 7% to $2.13. However, there were some bright spots for the company. Most notably, Winrevair -- one of its newest launches, which earned approval last year -- reported sales of $336 million. Winrevair is a therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension with a new mechanism of action. It should become a blockbuster relatively soon. Merck's business in animal health -- where it's one of the leaders -- also performed well, with sales from that segment rising by 11% year over year to $1.6 billion in the second quarter. Meanwhile, Merck has some exciting pipeline candidates that should help it overcome Keytruda-related challenges. One of them is a subcutaneous version of Keytruda, which has already aced phase 3 studies and will help extend the medicine's patent protection. Merck has also significantly improved its pipeline in recent years thanks to licensing agreements. Its candidates include promising cancer products and weight loss medicines. Just as Winrevair appears to be a major success, Merck is also likely to develop innovative therapies that will mitigate potential Keytruda-related revenue losses. So, despite recent setbacks, the business could bounce back given Merck's history of innovation. Turning to Merck's dividend program, the company now offers a forward yield of 4.1%, with its dividends increasing by 39% over the past five years. The stock remains a good pick for dividend seekers.

1 Reason to Buy Robinhood Markets (HOOD) Stock
Key Points Robinhood is attracting new customers at a rapid clip. Revenue grew 45% in Q2, yet Robinhood still offers a limited range of services compared to big brokers. As it continues to roll out new features, Robinhood could see an avalanche of asset growth. 10 stocks we like better than Robinhood Markets › Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) is breaking a new mold in the fintech market. The stock has rocketed 490% higher over the past year, sending its market cap toward $100 billion. While the stock might look overbought after such a steep rally, its customer assets are still very small compared to other leading financial service companies, which leaves plenty of room for the company (and stock) to grow in value over the long term. The more services Robinhood brings customers, the more it grows Robinhood's platform assets have increased from $89 billion in the second quarter of 2023 to $279 billion in Q2 2025. With fee-generating services like Robinhood Gold continuing to gain traction, revenue grew 45% year over year in the second quarter to $989 million. This is why the stock is still a buy at these highs. Robinhood is seeing this much growth while offering limited services compared to big brokers like Schwab. As it catches up, Robinhood could grow into a multitrillion-dollar financial services company. Robinhood's pace of new announcements has been remarkable. In the first quarter, it rolled out index options to all customers, and it followed that up in the second quarter with the launch of stock tokens in Europe, allowing those customers to trade over 200 U.S. stocks in the form of tokenized contracts on a blockchain. By the end of the third quarter, Robinhood plans to launch its new banking service too. These are just a few of the many announcements the company has made recently. As it continues to launch new trading products, including its Cortex AI -powered trading tool later this year, its platform assets will likely continue to grow. There are several products, including fixed-income securities, that Robinhood can eventually tap into to further support its growth. For perspective, Schwab has over $10 trillion in client assets. I wouldn't bet against Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's ability to grow Robinhood into one of country's largest brokerage services. The stock still offers tremendous long-term upside.
