This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Statement”) initially filed by Voya Global Equity Dividend & Premium Opportunity Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), on April 19, 2021 relating to the Fund’s offer to purchase for cash up to 15% of its outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (the “Offer”), for cash at a price per share equal to 98% of the Fund’s net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading session on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on May 25, 2021, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase dated April 19, 2021 and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) to the Statement filed on April 19, 2021.

Filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(iii) and incorporated by reference is a copy of the press release issued by the Fund dated May 26, 2021, announcing the final results of the Offer.

(a) The information in the Offer to Purchase in Section 7 (“Selected Financial Information”) is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Not applicable.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report the results of the Offer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
