#### INFORMATION STATEMENT

This Information Statement is being furnished on behalf of the Board of Trustees ("Trustees" or "Board") of Delaware Group<sup>®</sup> Income Funds ("Trust") to inform shareholders of the Nomura Floating Rate Fund (the "Fund") about recent changes related to its sub-advisory arrangement. The changes were approved by the Board on the recommendation of the Fund's investment manager, Delaware Management Company (the "Manager"), without shareholder approval as is permitted by an order of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). **WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.**

A Notice of Internet Availability of Information Statement relating to this Information Statement ("Notice") was mailed beginning on or about December 8, 2025 to shareholders of record of the Fund as of December 3, 2025 (the "Record Date"). The Information Statement is available on the Fund's website at nomuraassetmanagement.com/literature on or about December 8, 2025 until at least May 8, 2026.

#### INTRODUCTION

#### <br>
The Manager is the investment manager for each series of the Trust, including the Fund. Pursuant to "manager of managers" authority, the Manager, subject to approval by the Board, is permitted to hire, terminate, or replace sub-advisors who are affiliated or unaffiliated with the Trust or the Manager, and to enter into and modify material terms and conditions of the related sub-advisory agreements without shareholder approval. Section 15(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), generally requires that the shareholders of a mutual fund approve an agreement pursuant to which a person serves as investment advisor or sub-advisor of the fund. In order to use the "manager of managers" authority discussed above, the Manager, the Trust, and certain affiliates requested and received an exemptive order from the SEC on January 17, 2017 (the "SEC Order"). The SEC Order exempts the Manager, the Trust and other affiliates from certain of the shareholder approval requirements of Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act and allows the Board, subject to certain conditions, to appoint new sub-advisors and approve new sub-advisory agreements on behalf of the Trust without shareholder approval. The Manager has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to supervise the sub-advisors and recommend the hiring, termination, and replacement of the sub-advisors to the Board.

Consistent with the terms of the SEC Order, at a meeting held on June 18, 2025 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of the Manager (the "Independent Trustees") approved a new sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") between the Manager and Macquarie Asset Management Credit Advisers US, LLC ("MAMCA"), under which MAMCA would serve as a sub-advisor to the Fund.

The Trust and the Manager have agreed to comply with certain conditions when acting in reliance on the relief granted in the SEC Order. These conditions require, among other things, that within ninety (90) days of hiring a new sub-advisor, the affected fund will notify the shareholders of the fund of the

------

changes. The Notice provides such notice of the changes and this Information Statement presents additional details regarding MAMCA and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

#### THE INVESTMENT MANAGER

#### <br>
The Manager is located at 100 Independence, 610 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106-2354, and is a series of Nomura Investment Management Business Trust, which is an indirect subsidiary of Nomura Asset Management International Inc., which in turn is an indirect subsidiary, and subject to the ultimate control, of Nomura Holdings, Inc. ("Nomura"). The Manager is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

The Manager provides investment advisory services to the Fund pursuant to a new investment management agreement dated as of December 1, 2025 between the Trust and the Manager (the "Management Agreement"). The Management Agreement was approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on June 18, 2025 and by Fund shareholders on September 30, 2025. The Management Agreement became effective on December 1, 2025, which was the effective date of the closing of Nomura's acquisition of the U.S. and European public asset management business of Macquarie Group Ltd. ("Macquarie"), which included the Manager. The Trust employs the Manager to generally manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. In so doing, the Manager may hire one or more sub-advisors to carry out the investment program of the Fund, subject to the approval of the Board. The Manager continuously reviews and supervises the investment program of the Fund. The Manager furnishes regular reports to the Board regarding the investment program and performance of the Fund.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager has full discretion and responsibility, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, to select and contract with one or more investment sub-advisors, to manage the investment operations and composition of the Fund, and to render investment advice for the Fund, including the purchase, retention, and disposition of investments, securities, and cash held by the Fund. The Management Agreement obligates the Manager to implement decisions with respect to the allocation or reallocation of each Fund's assets among one or more current or additional sub-advisors, and to monitor the sub-advisors' compliance with the Fund's investment objective(s), policies, and restrictions. Under the Management Agreement, the Trust will bear the expenses of conducting its business. In addition, the Manager pays the salaries of all officers and Trustees of the Trust who are officers, directors, or employees of the Manager or its affiliates.

For these services, the Fund pays the Manager a fee calculated at an annual rate 0.50% on the first $500 million, 0.475% on the next $500 million, 0.45% on the next $1.5 billion, and 0.425% on assets in excess of $2.5 billion. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the Fund paid the Manager advisory fees of $3,502,094 earned and paid, with $0 waived.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, the Manager paid all of the Fund's existing sub-advisors' investment sub-advisory fees of $356. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the annualized investment sub-advisory fees as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets were 0.00%.

The name and principal occupation of each executive officer of the Manager is listed below. The address of each officer is 100 Independence, 610 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

#### MACQUARIE ASSET MANAGEMENT CREDIT ADVISERS US, LLC

#### <br>
MAMCA, headquartered at 660 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103, was approved by the Board to serve as a sub-advisor to the Fund at the Meeting. The ultimate parent company of MAMCA is Macquarie Group Ltd., an international financial services company. MAMCA is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC. As of March 31, 2025, MAMCA's total assets under management were approximately $201 million. The effective date for MAMCA's hiring was December 1, 2025, which is the day it began sub-advising the Fund.

MAMCA discharges its responsibilities subject to the oversight and supervision of the Manager. MAMCA is compensated out of the fees that the Manager receives from the Fund. There will be no increase in the advisory fees paid by the Fund to the Manager as a consequence of the implementation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The fees paid by the Manager to MAMCA depend upon the fee rates negotiated by the Manager and approved by the Board and on the percentage of the Fund's assets allocated to MAMCA by the Manager. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, MAMCA may effect Fund portfolio transactions through an affiliated broker/dealer and the affiliated broker/dealer may receive brokerage commissions in connection therewith as permitted by applicable law. The Sub-Advisory Agreement is dated December 1, 2025. Prior to the closing of Nomura's acquisition of Macquarie's U.S. and European public asset management business on December 1, 2025, MAMCA and the Manager were affiliates.

#### THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board at the Meeting, which was called for the purpose of approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years. Thereafter, continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreement will require the annual approval of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that MAMCA, among other duties, will make all investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund's investment portfolio in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. MAMCA, subject to the supervision of the Board and the Manager, will conduct an ongoing program of investment, evaluation, and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of its allocated portion of the Fund's assets. MAMCA also will perform certain other administrative and compliance-related functions in connection with the management of its allocated portion of the Fund's investment portfolio.

------

The MAMCA Sub-Advisory Agreement provides for MAMCA to be compensated based on the average daily net assets of the Fund allocated to MAMCA. MAMCA is compensated from the fees that the Manager receives from the Fund. MAMCA generally will pay all expenses it incurs in connection with its activities under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, other than the costs of the Fund's portfolio securities and other investments.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated without the payment of any penalty by: (i) the Manager or the Trust, at any time, without the payment of a penalty, on written notice to MAMCA of the Manager's or the Trust's intention to do so, in the case of the Trust pursuant to action by the Board or pursuant to the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, or (ii) MAMCA, on not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to the Manager and the Trust.

#### THE MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION AND THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Manager recommended the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching the decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered and reviewed information about MAMCA, including its personnel, operations and financial condition. The Board reviewed a memorandum responding to requests that the Board submitted in advance that discussed (without limitation): the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the various services proposed to be rendered by MAMCA; information concerning MAMCA's organizational structure and the experience of its investment management personnel; and various other material items in relation to MAMCA's personnel, organization and policies. The Board also reviewed a copy of MAMCA's Form ADV; a copy of MAMCA's compliance policies and procedures; and a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and fee schedule.

In considering such materials, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board's decision. This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board (as well as the discussion above) is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather summarizes certain factors considered by the Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered, the Board did not, unless otherwise noted, find it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the following factors. In addition, individual Trustees may have assigned different weights to various factors.

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.* The Board considered the services that MAMCA would provide as a sub-advisor to the Fund. The Board took into account the investment process to be employed by MAMCA in connection with the sub-advisor's responsibilities in conjunction with the Manager in managing the Fund, and the qualifications and experience of MAMCA's team with regard to implementing the investment mandate of the Fund. The Board considered MAMCA's organization, personnel, and operations.

*Investment Performance.* In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that MAMCA had not yet managed the Fund. The Board considered the experience of MAMCA's portfolio management team.

*Profitability, Economies of Scale and Fall-Out Benefits.* Information about MAMCA's profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not available because it had not begun to provide services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed MAMCA's balance and income statements. The Trustees also noted that economies of scale are shared with the Fund and its shareholders through the Manager's investment management fee breakpoints paid to the Manager so that as the Fund grows in size, its effective investment management fee rate declines, and they also noted that the Manager had put in place

------

a fee waiver for the Fund that was currently in effect. The Board was also provided with information on potential fall-out benefits derived or to be derived by MAMCA in connection with its relationship to the Fund, including confirmation that MAMCA does not expect to utilize soft dollar arrangements in the management of the Fund.

*Sub-advisory Fees.* The Board considered the appropriateness of the sub-advisory fees in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the sub-advisory services to be provided by MAMCA. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees are paid by the Manager to MAMCA and are not additional fees borne by the Fund, and that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Manager would stay the same at current asset levels. The Board concluded that the advisory fee rates under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are reasonable in relation to the services provided and that execution of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund shareholders.
