Investment objectives

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and from Minnesota state personal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund seeks to provide investors with preservation of capital and, secondarily, current income exempt from federal income tax and Minnesota state personal income taxes, by maintaining a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of 10 years or less.

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax and from Minnesota state personal income taxes, primarily through investment in medium- and lower-grade municipal obligations.

Economic backdrop

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the US economy expanded at a rapid pace, as states and municipalities opened up their economies and ended or scaled back pandemic-related restrictions. A $1.9 trillion federal economic stimulus program – the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March 2021 – and continued aggressive monetary policy further supported the economy’s recovery after a difficult 2020.

Investors’ optimism began to grow in late 2020, along with the introduction of vaccines for COVID-19, which helped lead to a dramatic decline in virus cases and hospitalization rates. Uncertainty returned in the final months of the fiscal year, however, as the Delta variant of COVID-19 aggressively spread and new concerns emerged about the future path of the economic recovery.

Against this backdrop, the US economy enjoyed robust growth throughout the fiscal year. In the third quarter of 2020, for example, US gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – expanded by an annualized 33.4%. This was the fastest such increase in the country’s history, following an equally unprecedented 31.4% decline in the prior three-month period. US GDP grew by 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020, followed by increases of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and an estimated 6.6% in the second quarter of 2021.

Employment trends similarly reflected the favorable economic backdrop. After the US jobless rate peaked in April 2020 at 14.7% – the highest level seen since the Great Depression – the employment picture quickly improved as state and local economies reopened. At the beginning of the Funds’ fiscal year in September 2020, US unemployment stood at a still historically high 8.4%. A year later, the country’s jobless rate had fallen to 5.2%.

Early in the pandemic, the US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark short-term interest rate, the federal funds rate, to essentially zero, where the rate remained throughout the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. As signs mounted that inflation was accelerating, the Fed suggested it would consider increasing interest rates as early as 2023, moving up its previous timeline by a year.

Municipal bond market conditions

Overall, the municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, gained 3.40% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Municipal bonds benefited from a favorable technical backdrop, with robust demand for tax-exempt bonds accompanied by relatively limited supply. As the pandemic progressed, investors’ appetite for municipal debt remained strong, reflecting increased confidence in issuers’ underlying credit quality and expectations for higher tax rates in the future.

In this environment, longer-maturity bonds generally outperformed their intermediate- and shorter-dated counterparts, while lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality issues. High yield municipal debt – bonds with credit ratings below BBB – enjoyed particularly strong results.

The following tables show municipal bond returns by maturity length and by credit quality for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Returns by maturity
1 year       0.62%
3 years 1.17%
5 years 1.70%
10 years 3.10%
22+ years 5.54%
 
Returns by credit rating

AA 2.50%

A consistent management approach

For all three Funds discussed in this report, we continued to follow the same management strategy we use regardless of the market environment. We emphasize a bottom-up investment approach, meaning we rely on our team’s thorough credit research to choose bonds on an issuer-by-issuer basis. We regularly seek tax-exempt bonds that offer the Funds’ shareholders what we view as an attractive trade-off between return opportunity and risk.

In following this strategy, we generally position the Funds with relatively less exposure to highly rated, lower yielding bonds. Instead, we prefer to overweight bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings backed by what we believe is solid underlying credit quality, due to these securities’ tendency to offer better income characteristics.

In the three Funds covered by this report, however, we regularly balance this approach with the recognition that lower-rated, higher yielding bonds tend to be scarce in Minnesota relative to other state marketplaces. In Minnesota, municipal bond issuance tends to feature highly rated, lower-coupon state and local general obligation bonds. Accordingly, our focus with these Funds involves investing in bonds offering what we view as the most attractive risk-reward trade-offs available, while we regularly remain on the lookout for suitable lower-rated issues to support our portfolio management objectives.

As of August 31, 2021, roughly 29% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund was invested in bonds with lower-investment-grade credit ratings, while about 33% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund was invested in these credit tiers. Both Funds also maintained allocations to high yield municipal bonds. By prospectus, both Funds may hold up to 20% of their net assets in high yield debt.

Consistent with its mandate, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund maintained the largest high yield exposure of the three Funds. As of August 31, 2021, about 40% of the Fund’s portfolio was held in bonds with credit ratings below BBB, including nonrated bonds.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® Minnesota municipal bond funds

Consistently seeking value

At the start of the fiscal year, the US was only a few months into the coronavirus pandemic, and municipal bond valuations remained depressed in several sectors. This was especially true of market areas uniquely vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19, such as continuing care retirement communities and charter schools.

When possible, we prioritized opportunities to buy suitable higher yielding bonds in these and other sectors that we believed would allow us to enhance the Funds’ income-generating capability while also potentially providing total return opportunity.

Especially in Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and to a far more limited extent in Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, we bought higher yielding bonds early in the fiscal year at depressed valuations. These included select opportunities among bonds in the healthcare and education sectors. Over time, bonds in these sectors experienced narrowing credit spreads and provided lower yields, gradually making them less attractive areas for new investment, in our view.

To varying extents in each Fund, we also bought tax-exempt bonds affiliated with the US territory of Puerto Rico, where we continued to find value amid that commonwealth’s ongoing financial restructuring.

Over time, as credit spreads narrowed, we became especially selective with new investments, focusing on purchasing bonds that we believed offered the Funds’ shareholders a favorable risk-reward trade-off. As attractive value opportunities became harder to find, we continued to prioritize our research efforts to try to find higher yielding Minnesota bonds that we believed represented long-term value, and we were willing to remain patient while pursuing this goal.

Individual performance effects

As we mentioned, longer-duration bonds – those with more sensitivity to interest rates – generally outperformed shorter-duration bonds, and lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality bonds. Often during this fiscal year, the Funds’ leading individual contributors and detractors reflected these performance trends.

In all three Funds, for example, the strongest-performing securities were bonds affiliated with Puerto Rico. (Bonds issued by Puerto Rico and other US territories are generally fully tax-exempt for US residents.) In Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority bonds were the leading individual performers. These bonds, yielding 5.25% and maturing in 2024, returned nearly 45% for the Funds, benefiting from investors’ increased optimism about the issuer’s debt restructuring efforts and the bonds’ relatively low valuation to begin the fiscal year. Meanwhile, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund similarly benefited from a position in Puerto Rico general obligation debt, which gained 30%.

In addition, all three Funds benefited from exposure to senior-housing bonds that came into the fiscal year at depressed valuations but enjoyed strong results as investors eased their concerns about issuers’ credit quality. For example, nonrated bonds of Chosen Valley Care Center, a skilled-nursing facility in Chatwood, gained more than 25%, lifting the performance of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, while bonds for the senior living facility project in Apple Valley and the Deephaven Woods project gained more than 25% and close to 20%, respectively, boosting results for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund.

Further adding value for Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund were bonds for

4


Table of Contents

Stride Academy, a St. Cloud charter school. As the issuer’s underlying credit quality strengthened during the fiscal year, these bonds continued to gain in value, rising more than 40%.

In contrast, most of the Funds’ weakest-performing bonds – many of which still managed a small positive return – featured relatively high credit quality or short durations. In both Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, for instance, holdings in pre-refunded state general obligation bonds produced a relatively flat return, lagging the overall market by several percentage points. Pre-refunded bonds, with their high degree of credit quality and short durations, were relative laggards in a market environment that rewarded bonds of lower quality and longer durations.

Meanwhile, AAA-rated Metropolitan Council (St. Paul) water-and-sewer debt gained only modestly for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, while similarly high-rated debt for Hennepin County did the same for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund.

For Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, University of Minnesota bonds’ modest return reflected their addition to the Fund’s portfolio at a relative high point for the market, leading to a lower return for the Fund’s fiscal year. A holding in pre-refunded bonds for the HealthEast Care System also lagged the benchmark.

Minnesota economic backdrop

Minnesota finished its 2021 fiscal year with $26.6 billion in its General Fund, outpacing earlier projections by more than 11% and representing a $2.9 billion swing from the budget deficit that had been projected in mid-2020. The state’s corporate tax revenues ended the fiscal year 38.4% above projections, while personal income taxes finished 12.4% higher. The state’s new biennial budget (which begins on July 1 of every odd-numbered year) is $52 billion, representing a 7.7% increase over the previous biennial budget. Of the new budget, about 41% represents spending on K-12 education and 36% on Human Services. The budget also includes $1 billion in tax relief related to COVID-19. In April 2021, Minnesota received $2.8 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act, and in 2020 the state received $1.9 billion in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding. As of July 2021, the state’s unemployment rate was down to 3.9%, higher than the July 2019 rate of 3.1% but below the pandemic high of 11.3% in May 2020.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the

bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, regional, and other factors of that state than geographically diversified funds.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, regional, and other factors of that state than geographically diversified funds.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed in the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 18. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Voyageur Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund. Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Tax-Free Funds, and Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds are each referred to as a Trust, or collectively, as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (each a Fund, or together, the Funds). Each Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offer Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund or Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota High-Yield Fund prior to December 2, 2019, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase and 0.50% if you redeem shares within the second year; and for shares of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. If DDLP paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund or Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund on or after December 2, 2019, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation — Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are

92


Table of Contents

not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of each Trust’s Board of Trustees (each, a Board, or collectively, the Boards). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Boards.

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended August 31, 2021, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2018–August 31, 2020), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting — Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any,

The tax cost of investments includes adjustments to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which may not necessarily be the final tax cost basis adjustments, but approximates the tax basis unrealized gains and losses that may be realized and distributed to shareholders. At August 31, 2021, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Fund were as follows:

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1 –  Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)
   
Level 2 – Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)

98


Table of Contents

Level 3 –  Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2021:

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund
      Level 2
Securities                      
Assets:
Municipal Bonds $ 602,619,642

3. Investments (continued)

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when each Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to each Fund’s net assets. During the year ended August 31, 2021, there were no Level 3 investments.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Long-term

100


Table of Contents

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments and tax deferral of losses due to wash sales, as applicable.

Qualified late year ordinary and capital losses (including currency and specified gain (loss) items) represent losses realized from January 1, 2021 through August 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021, respectively, that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, the Funds have elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended August 31, 2021, the Funds had no reclassifications.

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. At August 31, 2021, the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund       $
Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund   8,561
Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund   131,523

At August 31, 2021, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains were as follows:

  Loss carryforward character  
      Short-term       Long-term       Total
Delaware Tax-Free

Delaware Minnesota          
     High-Yield Municipal          
     Bond Fund   658,502         658,502

At August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards.

7. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on November 2, 2020.

On November 2, 2020, each Fund, along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the Agreement for an amount of $225,000,000 to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement with the addition of an upfront fee of 0.05%, which was allocated across the Participants. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on November 1, 2021.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2021, or at any time during the year then ended.

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations, and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, IBORs) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact

8. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks (continued)

investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, mainly in Minnesota, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam, whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P), lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

Each Fund may invest in advance refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” Advance refunded bonds are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest-bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will

104


Table of Contents

often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, each Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

9. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Voyageur Tax-Free Funds, Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds and Voyageur Mutual Funds and Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund (constituting Voyageur Tax-Free Funds), Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund (constituting Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds) and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”), which requires all open-end funds (other than money market funds) to adopt and implement a program reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s “liquidity risk,” defined as the risk that the fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund.

The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Board has designated the Division Director of the US Operational Risk Group of Macquarie Asset Management as the Program Administrator for each Fund in the Trust.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures that provide for: (1) assessment, management, and review (no less frequently than annually) of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) classification of each of the Fund’s portfolio holdings into one of four liquidity categories (Highly Liquid, Moderately Liquid, Less Liquid, and Illiquid); (3) funds that do not primarily hold assets that are Highly Liquid, establishing and maintaining a minimum percentage of each Fund’s net assets in Highly Liquid investments (called a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” or “HLIM”); and (4) prohibiting each Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid investments if, immediately after the acquisition, each Fund would hold more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid assets. The Program also requires reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis) and to the Board if each Fund’s holdings of Illiquid assets exceed 15% of the Fund’s net assets. Funds with HLIMs must have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and, with respect to HLIM shortfalls lasting more than seven consecutive calendar days, reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis).

In assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk, the Program Administrator considers, as relevant, a variety of factors, including: (1) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Funds during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. Classification of each Fund’s portfolio holdings in the four liquidity categories is based on the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment to cash (for Highly Liquid and Moderately Liquid holdings) or to sell or dispose of the investment (for Less Liquid and Illiquid investments), in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value. Each Fund primarily holds assets that are classified as Highly Liquid, and therefore is not required to establish an HLIM.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 25-27, 2021, the Program Administrator provided a written report to the Board addressing the Program’s operation and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The report concluded that the Program is appropriately designed and effectively implemented and that it meets the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and each Fund’s liquidity needs. Each Fund’s HLIM is set at an appropriate level and the Funds complied with their HLIM at all times during the reporting period.

Tax Information

The information set forth below is for each Fund’s fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of a Fund.

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021

At a meeting held on August 10-12, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment

advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“MIMBT”), included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (collectively, “Macquarie Asset Management”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds; the costs of such services to the Funds; economies of scale; and the investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, materials were provided to the Trustees in May 2021, including reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”). The Broadridge reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Broadridge reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

In considering information relating to the approval of each Fund’s advisory agreement, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and also received assistance and advice from an experienced and knowledgeable independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (“JDL”). Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by DMC to the Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (“Delaware Funds”); and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of DMC and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of certain favorable industry distinctions during the past several years. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenses while maintaining service levels committed to Fund matters. The Board also noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through (a) each shareholder’s ability to: (i) exchange an investment in one Delaware Fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Fund without a sales charge, or (ii) reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Funds, and (b) the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by DMC.

Investment performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board considered performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund, and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021 (continued)

Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed the Fund’s investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended December 31, 2020. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Minnesota municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional “other states” intermediate municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the 5-year and since inception periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the performance attribution included in the Meeting materials, as well as the numerous investment and performance reports delivered by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional high yield municipal debt funds category. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the five-year and since inception periods was in the fourth quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance results were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board considered the performance attribution included in the Meeting materials, as well as the numerous investment and performance reports and other information delivered

by Management personnel to the Board’s Investments Committee. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking action to improve comparative Fund performance and to meet the Board’s performance objective.

Comparative expenses. The Board considered expense data for the Delaware Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund versus effective management fees and total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group and, for comparative consistency, included 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees. The Board’s objective is for each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with those of the peer funds within its Expense Group.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting and fund accounting oversight services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered waivers in place through December 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting and fund accounting oversight services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through December 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight, and

custody services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which DMC might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. As part of its work, the Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding MIMBT profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed with JDL personnel regarding DMC’s profitability in such context. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of DMC.

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Funds complex. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Fund’s net assets exceeded the first breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economies of scale might be realized by DMC and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the Investment Management Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders. Although, as of March 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate Fund and Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund had each not reached a size at which it could take advantage of any breakpoints in the applicable fee schedule, the Board recognized that the fee was structured so that, if the Fund increases sufficiently in size, then economies of scale may be shared.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds by Macquarie®

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.

Investment objectives

Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is available from municipal obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.

Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax as is available from municipal obligations and as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.

Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax primarily through investment in medium- and lower-grade municipal obligations.

Economic backdrop

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the US economy expanded at a rapid pace, as states and municipalities opened up their economies and ended or scaled back pandemic-related restrictions. A $1.9 trillion federal economic stimulus program – the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March 2021 – and continued aggressive monetary policy further supported the economy’s recovery after a difficult 2020.

Investors’ optimism began to grow in late 2020, along with the introduction of vaccines for COVID-19, which helped lead to a dramatic decline in virus cases and hospitalization rates. Uncertainty returned in the final months of the fiscal year, however, as the Delta variant of COVID-19 aggressively spread and new concerns emerged about the future path of the economic recovery.

Against this backdrop, the US economy enjoyed robust growth throughout the fiscal year. In the third quarter of 2020, for example, US gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – expanded by an annualized 33.4%. This was the fastest such increase in the country’s history, following an equally unprecedented 31.4% decline in the prior three-month period. US GDP grew by 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020, followed by increases of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and an estimated 6.6% in the second quarter of 2021.

Employment trends similarly reflected the favorable economic backdrop. After the US jobless rate peaked in April 2020 at 14.7% – the highest level seen since the Great Depression – the employment picture quickly improved as state and local economies reopened. At the beginning of the Funds’ fiscal year in September 2020, US unemployment stood at a still historically high 8.4%. A year later, the country’s jobless rate had fallen to 5.2%.

Early in the pandemic, the US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark short-term interest rate, the federal funds rate, to essentially zero, where the rate remained throughout the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. As signs mounted that inflation was accelerating, the Fed suggested it would consider increasing interest rates as early as 2023, moving up its previous timeline by a year.

Municipal bond market conditions

Overall, the municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, gained 3.40% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Municipal bonds benefited from a favorable technical backdrop, with robust demand for tax-exempt bonds accompanied by relatively

limited supply. As the pandemic progressed, investors’ appetite for municipal debt remained strong, reflecting increased confidence in issuers’ underlying credit quality and expectations for higher tax rates in the future.

In this environment, longer-maturity bonds generally outperformed their intermediate- and shorter-dated counterparts, while lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality issues. High yield municipal debt – bonds with credit ratings below BBB – enjoyed particularly strong results.

The following tables show municipal bond returns by maturity length and by credit quality for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

A consistent management approach

For all three Funds discussed in this report, we continued to follow the same management strategy we use regardless of the market environment. We emphasize a bottom-up investment approach, meaning we rely on our team’s thorough credit research to choose bonds on an issuer-by-issuer basis. We regularly seek tax-exempt bonds that offer the Funds’ shareholders what we view as an attractive trade-off between return opportunity and risk.

In following this strategy, we generally position the Funds with relatively less exposure to highly rated, lower yielding bonds. Instead, we prefer to overweight bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings backed by what we believe is solid underlying credit quality, due to these securities’ tendency to offer better income characteristics.

Reflecting this approach, we continued to prioritize bonds with lower-investment-grade credit ratings (A and BBB) in Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. We also maintained a portion of each Fund’s portfolio in high yield tax-exempt bonds (rated below BBB). We believe that by focusing on higher yielding securities of solid underlying credit quality, we have more opportunity to add value for the Funds’ shareholders.

As of August 31, 2021, roughly 30% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund was invested in bonds with lower-investment-grade credit ratings, while about 37% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund was invested in these credit tiers. Both Funds also maintained sizable allocations to high yield municipal bonds. By prospectus, both Funds may hold up to 20% of their net assets in high yield debt.

Consistent with its mandate, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund maintained the largest high yield exposure of the three Funds. As of August 31, 2021, about 65% of the Fund’s portfolio was held in bonds with credit ratings below BBB, including nonrated bonds.

Consistently seeking value

At the start of the fiscal year, the US was only a few months into the coronavirus pandemic, and municipal bond valuations remained depressed in several sectors. This was especially true of market areas uniquely vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19, such as continuing care retirement communities and charter schools.

Portfolio management review
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® national tax-free funds

We prioritized opportunities to buy suitable higher yielding bonds in these and other sectors that we believed would allow us to enhance the Funds’ income-generating capability while also potentially providing total return opportunity.

Especially in Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and to a lesser extent in Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, we bought higher yielding bonds early in the fiscal year at depressed valuations. These included select opportunities among senior living, charter school, and infrastructure bonds, among others. Over time, bonds in these sectors experienced narrowing credit spreads and provided lower yields, gradually making them less attractive areas for new investment, in our view.

To varying extents in each Fund, we also bought tax-exempt bonds affiliated with the US territory of Puerto Rico, where we continued to find value amid that commonwealth’s ongoing financial restructuring.

Over time, as credit spreads narrowed, we became especially selective with new investments, focusing on purchasing bonds that we believed offered the Funds’ shareholders a favorable risk-reward trade-off.

Individual performance effects

As we mentioned, longer-duration bonds – those with more sensitivity to interest rates – generally outperformed shorter-duration bonds during the fiscal year, and lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality bonds. Often, the Funds’ leading individual contributors and detractors reflected these performance trends.

In both Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, for example, the strongest-performing securities were Puerto Rico dedicated-tax bonds. (Bonds issued by Puerto Rico and other US territories are generally fully tax-exempt for US residents.) These bonds, with a credit rating below investment grade and a 2040 maturity date, returned more than 45% for the Funds, benefiting from Puerto Rico’s improved credit quality, investors’ optimism about its debt restructuring plan, and the bonds’ relatively low valuation to begin the fiscal year.

Both Funds similarly benefited from California zero-coupon Inland Empire tobacco-securitization bonds. Older tobacco bonds such as these continued to benefit from their relative scarcity, rising in price as many tobacco issuers have refinanced outstanding debt and replaced older bonds with newer, lower-coupon issues.

Wisconsin-issued bonds for the American Dream project in the New Jersey Meadowlands also outperformed for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. Coming into the fiscal year, these bonds were depressed in value because of pandemic-related delays in the opening of this widely anticipated entertainment and retail destination. As economies reopened and financial prospects for this mall improved along with shoppers’ arrival, these nonrated bonds enjoyed a strong return for the Funds, regaining value lost earlier in the pandemic.

Bonds for the Brightline (formerly Virgin Trains) Florida private-rail project also contributed to Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. These securities gained more than 25% for the Fund over the fiscal year. As investors became more confident in Brightline’s credit prospects, the securities recovered in value. We continued to see solid long-term potential for this credit, as the issuer is scheduled to restart its South Florida rail service later in 2021 while working to expand service.

In contrast, several of the Funds’ individual detractors included bonds of lower-rated retirement communities whose pre-existing financial challenges worsened because of the

Table of Contents

pandemic. In Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, for example, nonrated bonds for Tapestry Senior Living in Moon Township, Pa., hampered returns. These securities shed significant value during the fiscal year, as the facility could not attract as many new residents as expected amid the spread of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, nonrated bonds for Tuscan Gardens, a Florida senior-living center, hurt the performance of both Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, while bonds of The Buckingham, a Texas senior-living community, further weighed on the performance of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund.

Many other relative underperformers produced only slightly negative or even positive returns, however, as their relatively high credit quality or short durations limited their upside in a generally favorable market environment. In Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, for example, AAA-rated, noncallable bonds of the University of Texas produced an incrementally negative return. In Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, the Fund’s position in AAA-rated general obligation bonds of Chesterfield County, Va., maturing in 2022, produced a slightly positive return that lagged the benchmark by several percentage points.

1 Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 8. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.25% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding

6


Table of Contents

sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

High yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary market makes it more difficult for the Fund to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities in its portfolio.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 13. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.75%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. This fee was contractually limited to 0.15% of average daily net assets from December 4, 2020 through December 29, 2021.* Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic

conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

High yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds. The high yield secondary market is particularly susceptible to liquidity problems when institutional investors, such as mutual funds and certain other financial institutions, temporarily stop buying bonds for regulatory, financial, or other reasons. In addition, a less liquid secondary market makes it more difficult for the Fund to obtain precise valuations of the high yield securities in its portfolio.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Fund’s expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® national tax-free funds      August 31, 2021

Delaware Group® Tax-Free Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers two series: Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. Voyageur Mutual Funds is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers five series: Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Minnesota High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund and Voyageur Mutual Funds are each referred to as a Trust, or collectively, as the Trusts. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund (each a Fund, or together, the Funds). Each Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offer Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and 2.75% for Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund prior to December 2, 2019 or for shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund prior to July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase and 0.50% if you redeem shares within the second year or for shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund prior to December 2, 2019, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. If DDLP paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund on or after December 2, 2019 or for shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund on or after July 1, 2020, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase or for shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund on or after December 2, 2019, you will have to pay a Limited CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem these shares within the first year after your purchase; unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation – Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by

dealer and exchange quotations. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended August 31, 2021, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2018–August 31, 2020), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting – Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the

“Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees that are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The Board for Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 fees for the Fund’s Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (1) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (2) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All of the Fund’s Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same blended rate, currently 0.25% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. The Class A shares of Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund were subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets, which was contractually waived to 0.15% of average daily net assets from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021.* Each Fund pays 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services to each Fund. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund was charged for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1 – 

Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)

   
Level 2 – 

Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)

134


Table of Contents

Level 3 – 

Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2021:

Total Value of Securities $ 1,756,272,303 $ 102,280 $ 1,756,374,583

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when each Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to each Fund’s net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the end of the year.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

As of August 31, 2021, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

          Delaware National
Delaware Tax-Free Delaware Tax-Free USA High-Yield
USA Fund       Intermediate Fund Municipal Bond Fund
Shares of beneficial interest         $ 1,042,445,039          $ 1,123,614,414         $ 1,587,938,934

Net assets $ 1,163,334,778   $ 1,221,613,157   $ 1,758,770,600  

* A portion of the Fund’s capital loss carryforward is subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax treatment of discount and premium on debt instruments, if applicable.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. At August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund adjustments were to decrease distributable earnings and increase paid-in capital in excess of par by $4,996,050 due to capital loss carryforward from merger. Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund had no reclassifications.

7. Reorganization

On August 12, 2020, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Tax-Exempt Opportunities Fund and Delaware Tax-Exempt Income Fund, each a series of Delaware Group Limited-Term Government Funds (the “Acquired Funds”) with and into Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund (the “Acquiring Funds”) (the “Reorganization”) respectively. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”): (i) all of the property, assets, and goodwill of the Acquired Funds were acquired by the Acquiring Funds, and (ii) the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Funds, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Funds, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds. In accordance with the Plan, the Acquired Funds liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganization. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of the Acquired Funds to own shares of a Fund with a similar investment objective and style as, and potentially lower net expenses than the Acquired Funds. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on December 4, 2020. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Funds’ realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets of the Acquiring Funds before the Reorganization were $638,843,963 and $593,797,796. The net assets of the Acquiring Funds immediately following the Reorganization were $973,140,143 and $1,083,108,737.

Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2020, the Acquiring Funds’ pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2021, would have been as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund

Net increase in net assets
     resulting from

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the Acquiring Funds’ Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was consummated on December 4, 2020.

8. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on November 2, 2020.

On November 2, 2020, each Fund, along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the Agreement for an amount of $225,000,000 to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement with the addition of an upfront fee of 0.05%, which was allocated across the Participants. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on November 1, 2021.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2021, or at any time during the year then ended.

9. Securities Lending

Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.

Cash collateral received by each fund of the Trust is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by

142


Table of Contents

government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; and asset-backed securities. Each fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.

In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in the collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of each Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount each Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and each Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.

During the year ended August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund had no securities out on loan. For the year ended August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Fee USA Fund and Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund were not included in the Lending Agreement.

10. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, “IBORs”) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and

143

10. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks (continued)

liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by municipalities, and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam, whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes.

The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the US states or territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund.

As of August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California, New York, and territory of Puerto Rico, which constituted approximately 11.02%, 10.53%, and 14.46%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the states of California, Illinois, and New York, which constituted approximately 11.88%, 12.14%, and 18.48%, respectively, of the Fund’s net assets. As of August 31, 2021, Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund invested in municipal bonds issued by the state of California and territory of Puerto Rico which constituted approximately 12.52% and 15.78%, respectively, the Fund’s net assets. These investments could make each Fund more sensitive to economic conditions in those states than other more geographically diversified national municipal income funds.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P), lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

144


Table of Contents

Each Fund may invest in advance refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” “Advance refunded bonds” are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest-bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Boards have delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities held by each Fund have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

11. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As of the financial reporting period, Management is evaluating the impact of applying this ASU.

13. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2021, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”), which requires all open-end funds (other than money market funds) to adopt and implement a program reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s “liquidity risk,” defined as the risk that the fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund.

The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Board has designated the Division Director of the US Operational Risk Group of Macquarie Asset Management as the Program Administrator for each Fund in the Trust.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures that provide for: (1) assessment, management, and review (no less frequently than annually) of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) classification of each of the Fund’s portfolio holdings into one of four liquidity categories (Highly Liquid, Moderately Liquid, Less Liquid, and Illiquid); (3) for funds that do not primarily hold assets that are Highly Liquid, establishing and maintaining a minimum percentage of each Fund’s net assets in Highly Liquid investments (called a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” or “HLIM”); and (4) prohibiting each Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid investments if, immediately after the acquisition, each Fund would hold more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid assets. The Program also requires reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis) and to the Board if each Fund’s holdings of Illiquid assets exceed 15% of each Fund’s net assets. Funds with HLIMs must have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and, with respect to HLIM shortfalls lasting more than seven consecutive calendar days, reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis).

In assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk, the Program Administrator considers, as relevant, a variety of factors, including: (1) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Funds during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. Classification of each Fund’s portfolio holdings in the four liquidity categories is based on the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment to cash (for Highly Liquid and Moderately Liquid holdings) or to sell or dispose of the investment (for Less Liquid and Illiquid investments), in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value. Each Fund primarily holds assets that are classified as Highly Liquid, and therefore is not required to establish an HLIM.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 19-21, 2020, the Program Administrator provided a written report to the Board addressing the Program’s operation and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation for the period from December 1, 2018 through March 31, 2020. The report concluded that the Program is appropriately designed and effectively implemented and that it meets the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and each Fund’s liquidity needs. Each Fund’s HLIM is set at an appropriate level and the Funds complied with its HLIM at all times during the reporting period.

Tax Information

The information set forth below is for each Fund’s fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of the Funds. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

All disclosures are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For any and all items requiring reporting, it is the intention of the Funds to report the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund reports distributions paid during the year as follows:

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021

At a meeting held on August 10-12, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021 (continued)

Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“MIMBT”), included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (collectively, “Macquarie Asset Management”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds, the costs of such services to the Funds; economies of scale; and the investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, materials were provided to the Trustees in May 2021, including reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”). The Broadridge reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Broadridge reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

In considering information relating to the approval of each Fund’s advisory agreement, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and also received assistance and advice from an experienced and knowledgeable independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (“JDL”). Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by DMC to the Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (“Delaware Funds”); and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of DMC and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of certain favorable industry distinctions during the past several years. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenses while maintaining service levels committed to Fund matters. The Board also noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through (a) each shareholder’s ability to: (i) exchange an investment in one Delaware Fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Fund without a sales charge, or (ii) reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Funds, and (b) the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by DMC.

Investment performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board considered performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed the Fund’s investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended December 31, 2020. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional high yield municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional general and insured municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free USA Intermediate Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional intermediate municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Comparative expenses. The Board considered expense data for the Delaware Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund versus effective management fees and total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group and, for comparative consistency, included 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees. The Board’s objective is for each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with those of the peer funds within its Expense Group.

Delaware National High-Yield Municipal Bond Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board

considered fee waivers in place through December 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as the negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight and custody services, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free USA Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered fee waivers in place through October 2022 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as a negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight services, and custody, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which DMC might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. As part of its work, the Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding MIMBT profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees

discussed with JDL personnel regarding DMC’s profitability in such context. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of DMC.

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Funds complex. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. The Board noted that, as of March 31, 2021, each Fund’s net assets exceeded the second breakpoint level. The Board believed that, given the extent to which economies of scale might be realized by DMC and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the Investment Management Agreement provides a sharing of benefits with each Fund and its shareholders.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds by Macquarie®

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.

Economic backdrop

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the US economy expanded at a rapid pace, as states and municipalities opened up their economies and ended or scaled back pandemic-related restrictions. A $1.9 trillion federal economic stimulus program – the American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March 2021 – and continued aggressive monetary policy further supported the economy’s recovery after a difficult 2020.

Investors’ optimism began to grow in late 2020, along with the introduction of vaccines for COVID-19, which helped lead to a dramatic decline in virus cases and hospitalization rates. Uncertainty returned in the final months of the fiscal year, however, as the Delta variant of COVID-19 aggressively spread and new concerns emerged about the future path of the economic recovery.

Against this backdrop, the US economy enjoyed robust growth throughout the fiscal year. In the third quarter of 2020, for example, US gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of national economic output – expanded by an annualized 33.4%. This was the fastest such increase in the country’s history, following an equally unprecedented 31.4% decline in the prior three-month period. US GDP grew by 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020, followed by increases of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and an estimated 6.6% in the second quarter of 2021.

Employment trends similarly reflected the favorable economic backdrop. After the US jobless rate peaked in April 2020 at 14.7% – the highest level seen since the Great Depression – the employment picture quickly improved as state and local economies reopened. At the beginning of the Funds’ fiscal year in September 2020, US unemployment stood at a still historically high 8.4%. A year later, the country’s jobless rate had fallen to 5.2%.

Early in the pandemic, the US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark short-term interest rate, the federal funds rate, to essentially zero, where the rate remained throughout the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. As signs mounted that inflation was accelerating, the Fed suggested it would consider increasing interest rates as early as 2023, moving up its previous timeline by a year.

Municipal bond market conditions

Overall, the municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, gained 3.40% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Municipal bonds benefited from a favorable technical backdrop, with robust demand for tax-exempt bonds accompanied by relatively limited supply. As the pandemic progressed, investors’ appetite for municipal debt remained strong, reflecting increased confidence in issuers’ underlying credit quality and expectations for higher tax rates in the future.

In this environment, longer-maturity bonds generally outperformed their intermediate- and shorter-dated counterparts, while lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality issues. High yield municipal debt – bonds with credit ratings below BBB – enjoyed particularly strong results.

The following tables show municipal bond returns by maturity length and by credit quality for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

Economic backdrop in the states

Arizona’s budget for the 2022 fiscal year included a significant change to the state’s approach to taxing personal income. With this $12.8 billion budget, the state begins to phase in a flat income tax by 2025 and eliminates the progressive income tax. At 2.5%, Arizona’s rate will be the lowest of the seven US states with a flat income tax. As a result of Proposition 208, which passed on the state’s November 2020 ballot and will help fund higher teacher salaries, high-income taxpayers will continue to pay a 3.5% surcharge on incomes. Going into the COVID-19 pandemic, Arizona had a $1 billion rainy day fund. From three federal aid programs to help states manage pandemic-related revenue losses, Arizona received $4.7 billion, of which the state has allocated 35% to date. Revenues for the 2021 fiscal year were 8.3% above projections. In July 2021, Arizona’s unemployment rate was 6.6%, exceeding the 4.9% rate of July 2019 but below the state’s April 2020 pandemic high of 14.2%. According to the 2020 US Census, Phoenix is now the country’s fifth-largest city and grew faster than any other large US city in the past decade. (Sources: azospb.gov, azleg.gov, bls.gov.)

California’s revenue projections meaningfully shifted with COVID-19. Before the pandemic, California had anticipated a budget surplus of $5.6 billion. Afterwards, the state faced a budget shortfall of $54 billion and the prospect of major budget cuts for the 2021 fiscal year. However, California ended up with a $75 billion surplus, reflecting the impact of federal aid programs and capital-gains tax collections due to a rising equity market. Of this surplus, $27 billion will go to K-12 education spending. California’s two largest pension funds generated returns of 21% and 27% during the 2021 fiscal year. Meanwhile, personal-income taxes, originally projected to fall by 7.1%, instead rose by 7.4% from the prior fiscal year. California’s budget for fiscal 2022 was

$196 billion, the state’s largest ever and a $30 billion increase over the fiscal 2021 budget. State reserves reached $25.2 billion, or $3 billion more than the previous high. California is receiving $26 billion in funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, on top of the $9.2 billion of federal aid the state already received from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In July 2021, California’s unemployment rate was 7.6%, considerably higher than the 4.1% jobless rate seen two years earlier but less than half the pandemic high of 16% in April 2020. (Sources: dof.ca.gov, bls.gov, politico.com, standardandpoors.com.)

The $34.1 billion budget for Colorado’s 2022 fiscal year, which began on June 30, was $4 billion higher than the state’s fiscal 2021 budget. The current budget includes a 3% raise for state employees, an additional $480 million for K-12 education spending (amounting to 32.8% of General Fund spending), $430 million of restored cuts to state higher education, and $800 million for infrastructure spending. The budget does not include $3.8 billion of federal American Rescue Plan Act stimulus funds. In fiscal 2021, Colorado received $1.7 billion in COVID-19 federal stimulus funds via the CARES Act. With the revenue improvement came a $1.5 billion deposit into the state’s reserve fund, totaling 13% of General Fund spending. The state’s original projections for the 2021 fiscal year included a budget deficit of $3 billion, though Colorado finished the year with a nearly $5.3 billion surplus. Colorado’s unemployment rate was 6.1% in July 2021, higher than the 2.6% rate seen in July 2019 but well below the state’s 12.1% pandemic high in April 2020. (Sources: bls.gov, cpr.org, leg.colorado.gov.)

Idaho received approximately $1.3 billion in pandemic-related federal funding through the CARES Act, as well as $3.2 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act. Spending the latter will require two-thirds’ approval from the Idaho legislature, which has not yet provided approval. Idaho ended its 2021 fiscal year with its largest-ever budget surplus of $900 million. Revenues were $600 million ahead of estimates, as sales, personal-income, and corporate taxes were 7.7%, 24.5%, and 33.2% higher than budgeted amounts, respectively. The state provided $435 million in tax relief in fiscal year 2022, including $220 million via a one-time tax rebate. Idaho’s unemployment rate in July 2021 was the country’s second lowest at 3%, slightly above the state’s July 2019 rate of 2.8% and far below the April 2020 pandemic-era high of 11.6%. (Sources: dfm.idaho.gov, legislature.idaho.gov, bls.gov.)

New York’s fiscal year ends on March 31, so early in the pandemic the state, anticipating economic decline, had to rapidly cut its budget for the 2021 fiscal year. New York’s revenue collections for fiscal 2021 wound up $513.3 million below the prior year’s, even as they were still $3 billion above budget. The state will receive a total of $12.7 billion in federal pandemic assistance via the American Rescue Plan Act. As with most states, New York has spent only a small portion of that amount so far ($378 million since April). The state’s fiscal 2022 budget of $212 billion ($20 billion higher than the governor’s request) included a record $29.5 billion in K-12 education spending. New York’s pension-discount rate was lowered to less than 6%, the lowest nationally, due to outsized returns for the 2021 fiscal year. As part of its fiscal 2022 budget, the state increased tax rates for corporations as well as the highest earners. As of July 2021, the state’s unemployment rate was 7.6%, double the level in July 2019 but below the high of 16.2% seen in April 2020. (Sources: bls.gov, budget.ny.gov, bloomberg.com.)

Pennsylvania finished its 2021 fiscal year in June with $40.4 billion in General Fund revenue, 9.3% higher than originally estimated and contrasting with the prior year’s estimate of a 9.1% decline.

Sales-tax receipts for fiscal 2021 were 7.8% above budget, while personal-income tax and corporate-tax revenues were 5.5% and 23.3% higher, respectively. Pennsylvania’s budget for fiscal 2022 featured a spending increase of 7.8% and was the state’s first budget to exceed $40 billion. Pennsylvania received $7 billion from three federal aid packages due to the COVID-19 pandemic, using $1 billion of that amount in its budget for fiscal 2022. The state is spending an additional $300 million on education, putting K-12 expenditures at 33.2% of all state spending. Pennsylvania will have nearly $8 billion in cash available to begin the 2022 fiscal year, compared with just $246 million the prior fiscal year. The state will put $2.5 billion in its rainy day fund. As of July 2021, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate was down to 6.6%, higher than the July 2019 rate of 4.4% but below the pandemic high of 16.2% in May 2020. (Sources: bls.gov, patreasury.gov.)

A consistent management approach

For all the Funds discussed in this report, we continued to follow the same management strategy we use regardless of the market environment. We emphasize a bottom-up investment approach, meaning we rely on our team’s thorough credit research to choose bonds on an issuer-by-issuer basis. We regularly seek tax-exempt bonds that offer the Funds’ shareholders what we view as an attractive trade-off between return opportunity and risk.

We prefer to overweight bonds with lower-investment-grade or below-investment-grade credit ratings and that, in our opinion, are backed by solid underlying credit quality, due to these securities’ tendency to offer better income characteristics.

In certain states, particularly those with larger municipal bond marketplaces, executing this strategy tends to be straightforward. However, in other states with more constrained supply of municipal debt – especially lower-rated municipal debt – it could sometimes be difficult to invest in the bonds we would ordinarily prefer. In these cases, to keep the Funds fully invested, we sought bonds that offered what we viewed as an appropriate risk-reward trade-off, while remaining on the lookout for suitable lower-rated issues to support our long-term portfolio management objectives.

As of the end of the fiscal year on August 31, 2021, roughly 39% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund was invested in bonds with lower-investment-grade credit ratings (A and BBB), while about 40% of the net assets of Delaware Tax-Free California Fund was invested in these same credit tiers. Roughly 29% of Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund was invested in bonds rated lower investment grade, compared with about 32% of Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, 32% of Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and 44% of Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund.

All six Funds also maintained allocations to high yield municipal bonds. By prospectus, the Funds may hold up to 20% of their net assets in high yield debt.

Consistently seeking value

At the start of the fiscal year, the US was only a few months into the coronavirus pandemic, and municipal bond valuations remained depressed in several sectors. This was especially true of market areas uniquely vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19, such as continuing care retirement communities and charter schools.

When possible, we prioritized opportunities to buy suitable higher yielding bonds in these and other sectors that we believed would allow us to enhance the Funds’ income-generating capability while potentially providing total return opportunity. These included select opportunities among bonds in the healthcare and education sectors. Over

6


Table of Contents

time, bonds in these sectors experienced narrowing credit spreads and provided lower yields, gradually making them less attractive areas for new investment, in our view.

To varying extents in each Fund, we also bought tax-exempt bonds affiliated with the US territory of Puerto Rico, where we continued to find value amid that commonwealth’s ongoing financial restructuring.

Over time, as credit spreads narrowed, we became especially selective with new investments, focusing on purchasing bonds that we believed offered the Funds’ shareholders a favorable risk-reward trade-off. As attractive value opportunities became harder to find, we continued to prioritize our research efforts to try to find higher yielding state bonds that we believed represented long-term value, and we were willing to remain patient while pursuing this goal.

Individual performance effects

As we mentioned, longer-duration bonds – those with more sensitivity to interest rates – generally outperformed shorter-duration bonds, and lower-rated bonds outpaced higher-quality bonds. Often during this fiscal year, the Funds’ leading individual contributors and detractors reflected these performance trends.

In Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund, for example, the strongest-performing securities were Puerto Rico dedicated-tax bonds. (Bonds issued by Puerto Rico and other US territories are generally fully tax-exempt for US residents.) These bonds, with a credit rating below investment grade and a 2040 maturity date, generated returns ranging between 45% and 55%, having benefited from Puerto Rico’s improved credit quality, investors’ optimism about its debt restructuring plan, and the bonds’ relatively low valuations to begin the fiscal year. In addition, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund saw strong performance from a position in Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority bonds. These bonds, yielding 5.25% and maturing in 2024, returned nearly 45% for the Funds.

In Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, bonds for the Legacy Sports Park USA project in Mesa were strong individual performers. The securities gained 30% for the Fund’s fiscal year, reflecting favorable revenue projections for this sports-facility project. The Fund also benefited from the timing of this purchase, as we bought these bonds early in the pandemic at what we anticipated was a temporarily depressed price. As the municipal bond market bounced back, this debt gained disproportionately in value, lifting the Fund’s result.

Many other strong performers similarly reflected recoveries from unusually low valuations to begin the fiscal year. Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, for instance, benefited from an investment in bonds for Sunny Vista Living Center, a Colorado Springs continuing care retirement facility. These nonrated bonds returned more than 14% for the Fund. In Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund, senior-housing bonds issued by the Cumberland County Municipal Authority strongly appreciated this fiscal year, gaining more than 19% for the Fund.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund benefited from its holding in nonrated zero-coupon Inland Empire tobacco-securitization bonds, which rose 45% for the Fund. Similarly, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund benefited from Erie County tobacco securitization bonds, which gained close to 20%. Older tobacco bonds such as these continued to benefit from their relative scarcity, rising in price as many tobacco issuers have refinanced outstanding debt and replaced older bonds with newer, lower-coupon debt.

Another notable individual contributor was bonds for the North Star Charter School in Eagle, Idaho. These securities gained more than 55% for Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund as investors’ concerns about the issuer’s credit quality eased.

In contrast, many of the Funds’ weakest-performing bonds – many of which still managed a small positive return – featured relatively high credit quality or short durations. In Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, for example, pre-refunded bonds for Regents University and water quality bonds issued by Arizona Water Infrastructure Finance Authority achieved only a small gain for the Fund’s fiscal year, trailing the overall municipal bond market by several percentage points.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund’s leading detractors for the fiscal year, because of their high credit quality or limited durations, included AAA-rated Stanford University bonds, which declined more than 1%, and California State Prisons municipal lease debt, which had a roughly flat return.

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund saw relative underperformance from its position in pre-refunded North Colorado Medical Center hospital bonds issued by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority, as well as general obligation debt of Jefferson County School District. Highly rated, low-duration school district bonds for Madison County and Canyon County were weaker performers for Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, while Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund’s detractors included pre-refunded bonds for Nazareth College and short-duration municipal lease debt for the 4 World Trade Center Project in New York City.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 21. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales (CDSC) charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt. The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, regional, and other factors of that state than geographically diversified funds.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

1 Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 36. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.

Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service (12b-1) fee.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%, and have an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Board has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.

Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of average daily net

assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that CDSCs did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt. The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

Funds that invest primarily in one state may be more susceptible to the economic, regulatory, regional, and other factors of that state than geographically diversified funds.

Substantially all dividend income derived from tax-free funds is exempt from federal income tax. Some income may be subject to state or local and/or the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) that applies to certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

Duration number will change as market conditions change. Therefore, duration should not be solely relied upon to indicate a municipal bond fund’s potential volatility.

IBOR risk is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) or similar rates (such as EONIA) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference these rates. The abandonment of these rates and transition to alternative rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference them and could affect investment strategy performance.

The disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or similar events could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Fund’s investments.

This document may mention bond ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch, Inc. For securities rated by an NRSRO other than S&P, the rating is converted to the equivalent S&P credit rating. Bonds rated AAA are rated as having the highest quality and are generally considered to have the lowest degree of investment risk. Bonds rated AA are considered to be of high quality, but with a slightly higher degree of risk than bonds rated AAA. Bonds rated A are considered to have many favorable investment qualities, though they are somewhat more susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Bonds rated BBB are believed to be of medium-grade quality and generally riskier over the long term. Bonds rated BB, B, and CCC are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, with BB indicating the least degree of speculation of the three.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from March 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021.

Actual expenses

The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

Because actual returns reflect only the most recent six-month period, the returns shown may differ significantly from fiscal year returns.

In addition to the Funds’ expenses reflected above, each Fund also indirectly bears its portion of the fees and expenses of the investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which it invests. The tables above do not reflect the expenses of the Underlying Funds.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares.

Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation – Debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems,

162


Table of Contents

which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of each Trust’s Board of Trustees (each, a Board or, collectively, the Boards). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended August 31, 2021, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2018–August 31, 2020), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Class Accounting – Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Custodian fees” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” There were no such earnings credits for the year ended August 31, 2021 for each Fund.

Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than $1, the expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund earned the following amounts under this arrangement:

Fund       Earnings Credits
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund       $ 20      
Delaware Tax-Free California Fund 49
Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund 68
Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund 22
Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund 122

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administrative oversight services to each Fund.

Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund then pays its portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:

Fund       Fees
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund $ 6,894
Delaware Tax-Free California Fund 8,231

daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the shareholder services agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:

Fund       Fees
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund $ 7,300

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to the Funds. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by each Fund and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees that are calculated daily and paid as invoices are received on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares (except for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund). The Board for Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 fees for the Fund’s Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All of the Fund’s Class A shareholders bear 12b-1 fees at the same blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Each Fund pays 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

For the year ended August 31, 2021, each Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

The tax cost of investments includes adjustments to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which may not necessarily be the final tax cost basis adjustments, but approximates the tax basis unrealized gains and losses that may be realized and distributed to shareholders. At August 31, 2021, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Fund were as follows:

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

Level 1 –  Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)
 
Level 2 –  Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt

securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)
   
Level 3 –  Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2021:

1 Security type is valued across multiple levels. Level 1 investments represent exchange-traded investments, Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs or matrix-priced investments, and Level 3 investments represent investments without observable inputs. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, and Level 3 investments represent the following percentages of the total market value of these security types:

Short-Term Investments 15.85 % 84.15 % 100.00 %

During the year ended August 31, 2021, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when each Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to each Fund’s net assets. During the year ended August 31, 2021, there were no Level 3 investments.

* A portion of the Fund’s capital loss carryforward is subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments and tax deferral of losses due to wash sales, as applicable.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended August 31, 2021, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund adjustments were to decrease total distributable earnings and increase paid-in capital in excess of par by $635,917 due to capital loss carryforward from merger. Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund had no reclassifications.

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. At August 31, 2021, the Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund       $ 86,581
Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund 297,584
Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund 416,478

7. Reorganization

On August 12, 2020, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Tax-Free California II Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York II Fund, each a series of Delaware Group Limited-Term Government Funds (the “Acquired Funds”) with and into Delaware Tax-Free California Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (the “Acquiring Funds”), (the “Reorganization”) respectively. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”): (i) all of the property, assets, and goodwill of the Acquired Funds were acquired by the Acquiring Funds, and (ii) the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Funds, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Funds, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds. In accordance with the Plan, the Acquired Funds liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganization. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of the Acquired Funds to own shares of a Fund with a similar investment objective and style as, and potentially lower net expenses than the Acquired Funds. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on December 4, 2020. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Funds’ realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets of the Acquiring Funds before the Reorganization were $85,114,231 and $90,024,576 for Delaware Tax-Free California Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, respectively. The net assets of the Acquiring Funds immediately following the Reorganization were $121,448,987 and $211,865,980 for Delaware Tax-Free California Fund and Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, respectively.

Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2020, the Acquiring Funds’ pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2021, would have been as follows:

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund
Net investment income                   $ 4,467,220                               $ 7,736,030            
Net realized gain on
     investments 1,105,213 1,210,748
Net change in unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation) 2,876,395 6,857,850
Net increase in net assets
resulting from operations $ 8,448,828 $ 15,804,628

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the Acquiring Funds’ Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was consummated on December 4, 2020.

8. Line of Credit

Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $275,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on November 2, 2020.

On November 2, 2020, each Fund, along with the other Participants entered into an amendment to the Agreement for an amount of $225,000,000 to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement with the addition of an upfront fee of 0.05%, which was allocated across the Participants. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on November 1, 2021.

The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2021, or at any time during the year then ended.

9. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks

Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.

IBOR is the risk that changes related to the use of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rate (collectively, “IBORs”) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference LIBOR (or the corresponding IBOR). The abandonment of LIBOR could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that reference LIBOR. The use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy performance. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs, such as the euro overnight index average (EONIA), which are also the subject of recent reform.

The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding state’s municipalities. The Funds invest primarily in a specific state and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The value of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the states or US territories, regional or local economic

conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P), lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction, or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

Each Fund may invest in advanced refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a “current refunding.” “Advance refunded bonds” are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of the advance refunded bond. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.

Bonds are considered “pre-refunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become “defeased” when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody’s, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.

9. Geographic, Credit, and Market Risks (continued)

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, each Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to each Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.”

10. Contractual Obligations

Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As of the financial reporting period, Management is evaluating the impact of applying this ASU.

12. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2021, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (constituting Voyageur Insured Funds), Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (three of the funds constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds), Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund (constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds II) and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (constituting Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”), which requires all open-end funds (other than money market funds) to adopt and implement a program reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s “liquidity risk,” defined as the risk that the fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund.

The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Board has designated the Division Director of the US Operational Risk Group of Macquarie Asset Management as the Program Administrator for each Fund in the Trust.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures that provide for: (1) assessment, management, and review (no less frequently than annually) of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) classification of each of the Fund’s portfolio holdings into one of four liquidity categories (Highly Liquid, Moderately Liquid, Less Liquid, and Illiquid); (3) funds that do not primarily hold assets that are Highly Liquid, establishing and maintaining a minimum percentage of each Fund’s net assets in Highly Liquid investments (called a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” or “HLIM”); and (4) prohibiting each Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid investments if, immediately after the acquisition, each Fund would hold more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid assets. The Program also requires reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis) and to the Board if each Fund’s holdings of Illiquid assets exceed 15% of the Fund’s net assets. Funds with HLIMs must have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and, with respect to HLIM shortfalls lasting more than seven consecutive calendar days, reporting to the SEC (on a non-public basis).

In assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk, the Program Administrator considers, as relevant, a variety of factors, including: (1) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Funds during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. Classification of each Fund’s portfolio holdings in the four liquidity categories is based on the number of days it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment to cash (for Highly Liquid and Moderately Liquid holdings) or to sell or dispose of the investment (for Less Liquid and Illiquid investments), in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value. Each Fund primarily holds assets that are classified as Highly Liquid, and therefore is not required to establish an HLIM.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 25-27, 2021, the Program Administrator provided a written report to the Board addressing the Program’s operation and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The report concluded that the Program is appropriately designed and effectively implemented and that it meets the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and each Fund’s liquidity needs. Each Fund’s HLIM is set at an appropriate level and the Funds complied with their HLIM at all times during the reporting period.

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021

At a meeting held on August 10-12, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“MIMBT”), included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (collectively, “Macquarie Asset Management”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds; the costs of such services to the Funds; economies of scale; and the investment manager’s financial condition and profitability. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, materials were provided to the Trustees in May 2021, including reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”). The Broadridge reports compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the Broadridge reports with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition to the information noted above, the Board also requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; comparative client fee information; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities for certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, the investment manager’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

In considering information relating to the approval of each Fund’s advisory agreement, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and also received assistance and advice from an experienced and knowledgeable independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (“JDL”). Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by DMC to the Funds and their shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Funds; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; compliance by DMC and Delaware Distributors, L.P. (together, “Management”) personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (“Delaware Funds”); and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of DMC and the emphasis placed on research in

184


Table of Contents

the investment process. The Board recognized DMC’s receipt of certain favorable industry distinctions during the past several years. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenses while maintaining service levels committed to Fund matters. The Board also noted the benefits provided to Fund shareholders through (a) each shareholder’s ability to: (i) exchange an investment in one Delaware Fund for the same class of shares in another Delaware Fund without a sales charge, or (ii) reinvest Fund dividends into additional shares of the Fund or into additional shares of other Delaware Funds, and (b) the privilege to combine holdings in other Delaware Funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by DMC.

Investment performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board considered performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Investment Committee meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund showed the Fund’s investment performance in comparison to a group of similar funds (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the best performance ranked first, and a fund with the poorest performance ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the poorest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended December 31, 2020. The Board’s objective is that each Fund’s performance for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional “other states” municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional “other states” municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional “other states” municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year and since inception periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3- and 5-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Board consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements for Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund at a meeting held August 10-12, 2021 (continued)

Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional New York municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund – The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Pennsylvania municipal debt funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and since inception periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Comparative expenses. The Board considered expense data for the Delaware Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund versus effective management fees and total expense ratios of a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group and, for comparative consistency, included 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees. The Board’s objective is for each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with those of the peer funds within its Expense Group.

Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Delaware Tax-Free California Fund – The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board gave favorable consideration to the Fund’s management fee but noted that the Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating the total expenses, the Board considered favorably fee waivers in place through December 2021 and various initiatives implemented by Management, such as a negotiation of lower fees for fund accounting, fund accounting oversight services, and custody, which had created an opportunity for a further reduction in expenses. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and to bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management profitability. The Board considered the level of profits realized by DMC in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which DMC might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for

procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. As part of its work, the Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding MIMBT profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed with JDL personnel regarding DMC’s profitability in such context. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of profitability of DMC.

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered whether economies of scale are realized by DMC as each Fund’s assets increase and the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee pricing and structure, approved by the Board and shareholders, which includes breakpoints, and which applies to most funds in the Delaware Funds complex. Breakpoints in the advisory fee occur when the advisory fee rate is reduced on assets in excess of specified levels. Breakpoints result in a lower advisory fee than would otherwise be the case in the absence of breakpoints, when the asset levels specified in the breakpoints are exceeded. Although, as of March 31, 2021, the Funds had each not reached a size at which it could take advantage of any breakpoints in the applicable fee schedule, the Board recognized that the fee was structured so that, if each Fund increases sufficiently in size, then economies of scale may be shared.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds by Macquarie®

A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.
