August 4, 2025

Dear Contract Owners and Shareholders:

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) is furnishing this Information Statement with respect to the LVIP JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund listed above (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust.

You currently have an investment interest in the Fund through your ownership of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (“Variable Contract”). As a “Contract Owner,” you are being furnished this Joint Information Statement to inform you about recent changes related to the Fund’s sub-advisory arrangements.

Specifically, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) held on December 10-11, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board approved the appointment of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”) as a new sub-adviser to the Fund. At the Meeting, the Board also approved a sub-advisory agreement between Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the “Adviser” or “LFI”), the Fund’s investment adviser, and JPMIM. (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement is dated May 1, 2025. JPMIM replaced Delaware Investments Fund Advisers as sub-adviser of the Fund.

The Trust has received an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permitting the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board, to enter into or materially amend sub-advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder approval. As a condition of relying on the Order, the Adviser is required to furnish Fund shareholders with an information statement describing any new sub-adviser within 90 days of hiring such sub-adviser when a sub-advisory agreement is entered into or materially amended without a shareholder vote. Accordingly, approval of the Sub-Agreement does not require a shareholder vote. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about August 4, 2025 to shareholders of record of the Fund as of July 1, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

On December 10-11, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust” or “LVIP”) (the “Board”) met to consider, among other things, the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (“LFI”) and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), with respect to the LVIP JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund (the “Fund”), which became effective on May 1, 2025. The trustees who were not “interested persons” of the Trust (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) reported that they had reviewed materials provided by LFI and JPMIM prior to the meeting, and were advised by their independent legal counsel of their fiduciary duties pertaining to approval of sub-advisory agreements and the factors that they

should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LFI and JPMIM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, including a presentation by representatives of JPMIM and JPMIM’s responses to LFI’s request for proposal. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers, Lincoln National Life Insurance Company employees and representatives of JPMIM to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees reported that they had considered, among others, the factors listed below and reached the following conclusions with respect to their recommendation to the Board.

The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund. In considering the approval of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement between LFI and JPMIM on behalf of the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by JPMIM under the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by JPMIM, the backgrounds of the investment professionals proposed to service the Fund and the reputation, resources and investment approach of JPMIM. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board also noted that JPMIM provides sub-advisory services to other funds in the Trust and that the Board reviewed extensive information provided by JPMIM in connection with the 2024 contract renewal process. The Board concluded that the services to be provided by JPMIM were expected to be satisfactory.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Economies of Scale. The Board considered comparable sub-advisory information provided by LFI and noted that, with respect to the proposed sub-advisory fee schedules, the applicable schedule was lower than the current sub-advisory fee schedule for LVIP JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund. The Board considered that each proposed sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LFI and JPMIM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LFI would compensate JPMIM from its fees. The Board concluded that each proposed sub-advisory fee schedule was reasonable.

Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between LFI and JPMIM, an unaffiliated third party, and that LFI would compensate JPMIM from its fees. The Board reviewed materials provided by JPMIM as to any additional benefits it would receive and noted JPMIM’s statement that it was not aware of other direct or indirect benefits derived from its relationship to the Fund other than the receipt of subadvisory fees.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all the information considered and conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement is dated May 1, 2025, and has an initial one-year term. Thereafter, continuance of the agreement will require the annual approval of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated, without the payment of any penalty, by: (i) the Trust, by vote of a majority of the Board or by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, on 60 days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser; (ii) the Adviser, on 60 days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser; (iii) the Sub-Adviser, on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser; or (iv) by mutual written consent of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate without payment of penalty in the event of: (i) its assignment; (ii) its delegation, unless the Adviser has by prior written consent agreed to the delegation; or (iii) termination of the investment management agreement with the Adviser.

The foregoing description is only a summary of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. A copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement has been filed with the SEC and accessible via the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) through the EDGAR database.

Outstanding Shares

As of the Record Date, the Fund’s outstanding shares for Standard Class shares and Service Class shares are listed below:

Because the Fund is available as investments for Variable Contracts offered by certain life insurance companies, the insurance companies could be deemed to control the voting securities of the Fund (i.e., by owning more than 25%). However, an insurance company would exercise voting rights attributable to any Fund shares that it owns (directly or indirectly) in accordance with, and in proportion to, voting instructions received by owners of the Variable Contracts. A small number of Contract Owners could therefore determine whether the Fund’s proposals are approved.

Ownership of Shares

As of the Record Date, no persons had or shared voting or investment power over more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of the Fund.

As of Record Date, to the knowledge of the Trust’s management, the trustees and officers of the Trust as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.
