NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Voya Credit Income Fund (the "Fund"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a continuously-offered, diversified, closed-end, management investment company. Effective April 2, 2001, the Fund commenced the offering of Class A and Class C shares to the public. Effective April 15, 2008, the Fund commenced the offering of Class I and Class W shares to the public.

The Fund currently has four classes of shares: A, C, I and W. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 2.50%. Effective June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 are not subject to a sales charge but are subject to an Early Withdrawal Charge ("EWC") of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase. Prior to June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 were not subject to a sales charge but were subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within six months of purchase. Class C shares are subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase.

Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund, after a holding period of 8 years from date of purchase.

To maintain a measure of liquidity, the Fund will offer to repurchase not less than 5% of its outstanding Common Shares on a monthly basis. This is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may not offer to repurchase more than 25% of its outstanding Common Shares in any calendar quarter. Other than these monthly repurchases, no market for the Fund's Common Shares is expected to exist. The separate classes of shares differ principally in their distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in the per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the share classes, if any.

Voya Investments, LLC ("Voya Investments" or the "Investment Adviser"), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC ("Voya IM" or the "Sub-Adviser"),

a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fund.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A. Senior Loan and Other Security Valuation. The Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") opens for regular trading (each such day, a "Business Day"). The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of the Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session ("Market Close"), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association ("CTA"), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund's assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund's liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and the Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund's assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities' prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Fund assets, the asset is priced at its fair

10

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Fund's assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or the Fund's sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset's fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Fund's NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders' investments in the Fund.

The Fund's financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date.

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the fund's own assumptions in determining fair value).

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are

not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

A table summarizing the Fund's investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as "Level 1," inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as "Level 2" and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser's or Valuation Committee's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as "Level 3." The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund's investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions and senior loans are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums (if applicable), is recorded on an accrual basis at the then-current loan rate. The accrual of interest on loans is partially or fully discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. If determined to be uncollectible, unpaid accrued interest is also written off.

11

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash collections on non-accrual senior loans are generally applied as a reduction to the recorded investment of the loan. Senior loans are generally returned to accrual status only after all past due amounts have been received and the borrower has demonstrated sustained performance. Premium amortization and discount accretion are deferred and recognized over the lives of the respective loans. Arrangement fees received on revolving credit facilities, which represent non-refundable fees or purchase discounts associated with the acquisition of loans, are deferred and recognized using the effective yield method over the shorter of four years or the actual term of the loan. No such fees are recognized on loans which have been placed on non-accrual status. Arrangement fees associated with all other loans, except revolving credit facilities, are treated as discounts and are accreted as described above. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Amendment fees and other fees earned are reported as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities' current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the

amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

D. When-Issued Delayed-Delivery. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward purchase commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. Due to the nature of the Senior Loan market, the actual settlement date may not be certain at the time of the purchase or sale for some of the Senior Loans. Interest income on such Senior Loans is not accrued until settlement date.

E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a U.S. federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Fund's tax positions taken on U.S. federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

The Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

F. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund declares and goes ex-dividend daily and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Fund may make additional distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The character and amounts of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. Distributions in excess of net

12

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.

G. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

H. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.

I. Swap Agreements. The Fund may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange ("centrally cleared swaps"). The swap agreement will specify the "notional" amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in fair value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. The Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported within Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by the Fund when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the

swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on the Fund's Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. The Fund also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the "CCP") and the Fund's counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are footnoted as pledged on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.

J. Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, the Fund will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.

The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, the Fund may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. The Fund may also enter into credit

13

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer's credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).

The Fund may sell credit default swaps which expose the Fund to the risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. If the Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/ selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting fair values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing

fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

For the period ended August 31, 2026, the Fund sold credit protection on credit default swap indices ("CDX"). A CDX is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. The Fund used CDX swaps to hedge or gain additional exposure to credit risk associated with various sectors within the credit market.

For the period ended August 31, 2026, the Fund had an average quarterly notional amount of $14,700,000 on credit default swaps to sell protection. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for the Fund for open credit default swaps to sell protection at August 31, 2026. At August 31, 2026, the Fund had pledged $1,100,000 in cash collateral for open centrally cleared swaps.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the period ended August 31, 2026, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from principal repayment and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, totaled $25,135,759 and $66,691,451, respectively. At August 31, 2026, the Fund held senior loans valued at $39,483,095 representing 46.55% of its total investments. The fair value of these assets is established as set forth in Note 2.

The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower, and are typically acquired through an assignment of another lender's interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors the collateral securing the loan. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

Warrants and shares of common stock held in the portfolio were acquired in conjunction with loans held by the Fund.

14

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Certain of these shares and warrants are restricted and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act, or without an exemption under the 1933 Act. In some cases, these restrictions expire after a designated period of time after the issuance of the shares or warrants.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement ("Management Agreement") with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Fund, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund's Managed Assets. For purposes of the Management Agreement, managed assets ("Managed Assets") are defined as the Fund's average daily gross asset value, minus the sum of the Fund's accrued and unpaid dividends on any outstanding Preferred Shares and accrued liabilities (other than liabilities for the principal amount of any borrowings incurred, commercial paper or notes issued by the Fund and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Shares).

The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Fund and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily Managed Assets of the Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations.

NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

Class A and Class C shares of the Fund have adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plans"), whereby Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the "Distributor"), a Delaware limited liability company, is compensated by the Fund for expenses incurred in the distribution of the Fund's shares ("Distribution Fees"). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for actual expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the Fund's shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder

servicing fees ("Service Fees") paid to securities dealers who executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 plans, each class of shares of the Fund pays the Distributor a combined Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares, and the EWC paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions/repurchases for Class A shares and Class C shares. For the period ended August 31, 2026, the Distributor retained the following amounts:

NOTE 6 - EXPENSE LIMITATIONS

The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement ("Expense Limitation Agreement") with the Fund under which it will limit the expenses of the Fund, excluding interest, taxes, other investment-related costs, leverage expenses, extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business, and expenses of any counsel or other persons or services retained by the Fund's Board members who are not "interested persons," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, to the levels listed below:

Class A - 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.45% of average daily net assets

Class C - 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.95% of average daily net assets

Class I - 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

Class W - 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets

The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through July 1, 2027. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS

Effective June 29, 2026, the Fund became a party to, by joinder, the 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY") for an aggregate amount of $300,000,000 through June 7, 2027. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the

15

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS (continued)

Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 29, 2026, the predecessor line of credit was a 364-day revolving credit agreement, collateralized by assets of the Fund, providing for borrowings of up to $40 million maturing June 24, 2026. Borrowing rates under this agreement were based on a fixed spread over SOFR, and a commitment fee was charged on the unused portion.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance. Under the predecessor line of credit, average borrowings for the period ended August 31, 2026 were $18,903,800 and the average annualized interest rate was 2.68%.

NOTE 8 - SENIOR LOAN COMMITMENTS

As of August 31, 2026, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments pursuant to the terms of the following loan agreements:

NOTE 9 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "DC Plan"), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees' fees that they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the "Notional Funds"). When the Fund purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees' deferred fees, this results in the Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of "Other assets" on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees' fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

During the period ended August 31, 2026, Credit Income incurred $110,000 of shareholder notification costs associated with an investment strategy and change. The Investment Adviser reimbursed the Fund for these costs.

NOTE 10 - SUBORDINATED LOANS AND UNSECURED LOANS

The primary risk arising from investing in subordinated loans or in unsecured loans is the potential loss in the event of default by the issuer of the loans. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets, measured at the time of investment, in subordinated loans, unsecured debt instruments and other investments, as directed by the Prospectus. As of August 31, 2026, the Fund held no subordinated loans or unsecured loans.
