**PART C.**

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 15. Indemnification**

Article X of the Trust's Declaration of Trust provides the following:

Section 10.1 Limitation of Liability. A trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any person other than the Trust or a beneficial owner for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any trustee. A trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or any conduct whatsoever in his capacity as trustee, provided that nothing contained herein or in the Delaware Act shall protect any trustee against any liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of trustee hereunder.

Section 10.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section (b) below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) every person who is, or has been a trustee or officer of the Trust (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding in which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been a trustee or officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in the settlement thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits, or proceedings (civil, criminal, or other, including appeals) actual or threatened while in office or thereafter, and the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties, and other liabilities.

(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before which the proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office or (B) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in the event of a settlement, unless there has been a determination that such trustee or officer did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) by the court or other body approving the settlement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) by at least a majority of those trustees who are neither interested persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) provided; however, that any Shareholder may, by appropriate legal proceedings, challenge any such determination by the trustees or by independent counsel.

(c) The rights of indemnification therein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust personnel, other than Covered Persons, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

(d) Expenses in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit, or proceeding of the character described in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 may be paid by the Trust or Series from time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be paid over by him or her to the Trust or Series if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.2 provided; however, that either: (a) such Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking; (b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance payments; or (c) either a majority of the trustees who are neither interested persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written

------

opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.2.

Article IX of the Trust's By-Laws provides the following:

The Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Covered Person or employee of the Trust, including any Covered Person or employee of the Trust who is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a trustee, officer, or employee of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the trustees would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

The Trust may not acquire or obtain a contract for insurance that protects or purports to protect any trustee or officer of the Trust against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Reference is made to Article IX of the Trust's By-Law and paragraph 1.11 of the Distribution Agreement.

The Trust is covered under an insurance policy, insuring its officers and trustees against liabilities, and certain costs of defending claims against such officers and trustees; to the extent such officers and trustees are not found to have committed conduct constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard in the performance of their duties. The insurance policy also insures the Trust against the cost of indemnification payments to officers under certain circumstances.

Section 9 of the Management Agreement between the Trust and investment manager, Section 14 of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Section 20 of the Distribution Agreement between the Trust and the distributor limit the liability of the investment manager, the sub-advisor and the distributor to liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties, or from reckless disregard by them of their respective obligations and duties under the agreements.

The Trust hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification provisions of its Trust Instrument, By-Laws, Management Agreement, and Distribution Agreement in a manner consistent with Release No. 11330 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended so long as the interpretations of Section 17 (h) and 17(i) of such Act remain in effect and are consistently applied.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the Trust pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Trust understands that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Trust in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "<u>Agreement</u>"), dated November 14, 2024, between Voya Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust ("<u>VFT</u>"), on behalf of its series, Voya Floating Rate Fund (the "<u>Target Fund</u>") and VFT, on behalf of its series, Voya Short Duration High Income Fund (the "<u>Acquiring Fund</u>" and together with the Target Fund, the "<u>Funds</u>"). The Agreement describes a proposed transaction (the "<u>Reorganization</u>") to occur on the date of this letter, pursuant to which the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of the Target Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest in the Acquiring Fund (the "<u>Acquiring Fund Shares</u>") and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, following which Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Target Fund will be distributed by the Target Fund to its shareholders in liquidation and termination of the Target Fund. This opinion as to certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization is furnished to you pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein are used herein as defined in the Agreement.

The Target Fund is a series of VFT, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>1940 Act</u>"), as an open-end management investment company. Shares of the Target Fund are redeemable at net asset value at each shareholder's option. The Target Fund has elected to be a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "<u>Code</u>").

The Acquiring Fund is likewise a series of VFT. Shares of the Acquiring Fund are redeemable at net asset value at each shareholder's option. The Acquiring Fund has elected to be a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 851 of the Code.

For purposes of this opinion, we have considered the Agreement, the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated February 18, 2025, and such other items as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion. In addition, each of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund has provided us with a letter dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the "<u>Representation Letters</u>"), representing as to certain facts, occurrences and information upon which each of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund has indicated that we may rely in rendering this opinion (whether or not contained or reflected in the documents and items referred to above).

In reviewing the foregoing materials, we have assumed, with your permission, the authenticity of original documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of signatures, the legal capacity of signatories, and the proper execution of documents. We have further assumed that (i) all parties to the Agreement and any other documents examined by us have acted, and will act, in accordance with the terms of such Agreement and documents, and that the Reorganization will be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement without the waiver or modification of any such terms and conditions; (ii) all representations contained in the Agreement, as well as those representations contained in the Representation Letters, are true and complete; and (iii) any representation made in any of the documents referred to herein "to the best of the knowledge" of any person or party is true without regard to such qualification.

Based on and subject to the foregoing and subject to the final paragraphs hereof, we are of the opinion that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Reorganization will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will each be "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Under Section 1032 of the Code, the Acquiring Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of assets of the Target Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Under Section 362(b) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund's tax basis in the assets of the Target Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the Target Fund's tax basis in such assets immediately prior to the Reorganization, adjusted for any gain or loss required to be recognized as described in (v) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund's holding periods in the assets received from the Target Fund in the Reorganization, other than any asset with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized as described in (v) below, will include the periods during which such assets were held or treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being held by the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Under Sections 361 and 357 of the Code, the Target Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the transfer of all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, or upon the distribution of the Acquiring Fund shares by the Target Fund to its shareholders in liquidation thereof, except for (A) any gain or loss recognized on (1) "Section 1256 contracts" as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code or (2) stock in a "passive foreign investment company" as

defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (B) any other gain or loss required to be recognized by reason of the Reorganization (1) as a result of the closing of the tax year of the Target Fund,

(2)upon the termination of a position, or (3) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a nontaxable transaction under the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)Under Section 354 of the Code, the shareholders of the Target Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of their Target Fund shares for Acquiring Fund shares in the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)Under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate tax basis of Acquiring Fund shares that a Target Fund shareholder receives in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of Target Fund shares exchanged therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)Under Section 1223(1) of the Code, a Target Fund shareholder's holding period for Acquiring Fund shares received in the Reorganization will include the shareholder's holding period for Target Fund shares exchanged therefor, provided the shareholder held such Target Fund shares as capital assets on the date of the exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix)The Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account the items of the Target Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder.

We believe that (i) the Acquiring Fund will continue the Target Fund's historic business, within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d), as an open-end investment company that seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income by investing primarily in fixed income instruments of U.S. issuers, and (ii) the continuity of business enterprise test required for qualification under Section 368(a) of the Code is met in the Reorganization. The only guidance applying the continuity of business enterprise test to investment companies is U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "<u>IRS</u>") Revenue Ruling 87-76, 1987-2 C.B. 84, which concluded that a municipal bond portfolio and a balanced portfolio were not in the same line of business. Even on the assumption that the ruling is correct, we do not think it is controlling in the instant case.

No ruling has been or will be obtained from the IRS as to the subject matter of this opinion and there can be no assurance the IRS or a court of law will concur with the opinion set forth above. Our opinion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations, IRS rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authority, all as in effect on the date of this opinion. The legal authorities on which this opinion is based may be changed at any time. Any such changes may be retroactively applied and could modify the opinions expressed above. We undertake no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any such changes that may occur.

Very truly yours,
