Urges Shareholders to Seize Opportunity to Make Their Voices Heard

TOMS Capital Investment Management (“TCIM”), which manages funds that together have an investment representing an approximately 4.65% economic interest in Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) (“Voya” or the “Company”), today announced that it has commenced the mailing of its definitive proxy materials to provide shareholders the opportunity to consider and vote on a non-binding resolution. This non-binding resolution allows shareholders to convey unequivocally that they “no longer continue to have confidence in the board of directors (the “Board”) and management of Voya Financial, Inc.”

As part of the filing, TCIM has set a record date of September 30, 2026 and a referendum meeting date of November 24, 2026. The definitive proxy materials and more information on TCIM’s campaign can be found here: www.unlockvoya.com, as well as at www.sec.gov.

TCIM issued the following statement:

“We encourage Voya shareholders to take advantage of the opportunity to make their voices heard via our no confidence referendum. For too long, the Board has failed to act in shareholders’ best interests and must be held accountable. We are pleased to reach this milestone and get proxies into the hands of shareholders – despite the Company’s best efforts to halt this process.

It is time for Voya’s Board and leadership to stop their tactics of obstruction and focus on doing what is best for all shareholders – including genuinely engaging with interested third parties around value creation opportunities. We look forward to communicating with our fellow shareholders in the weeks to come.”

Additional information about the campaign, including how shareholders can make their voices heard, is available at www.unlockvoya.com.
