AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

Exhibit 4

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION (“Agreement”) is made as of August 15, 2013, among OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC., a Maryland corporation, with its principal place of business at Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (“Corporation”), on behalf of each segregated portfolio of assets (“series”) thereof listed under the heading “Target Funds” on Schedule A attached hereto (“Schedule A”) (each, a “Target Fund”) and Corporation on behalf of each series thereof listed under the heading “Survivor Funds” on Schedule A (each, a “Survivor Fund”); and, solely for purposes of paragraph 6, OHIO NATIONAL INVESTMENTS, INC., advisor to the Survivor Funds and Target Funds (“Ohio National”). (Corporation is sometimes referred to herein as an “Investment Company,” and each Target Fund and Survivor Fund is sometimes referred to herein as a “Fund.”) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) the agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, actions, and obligations (collectively, “Obligations”) of and by each Fund—and of and by the Investment Company of which that Fund is a series, on that Fund’s behalf—shall be the Obligations of that Fund only, (2) all rights and benefits created hereunder in favor of a Fund shall inure to and be enforceable by the Investment Company of which that Fund is a series, on that Fund’s behalf, and (3) in no event shall any other series of the Corporation (including another series thereof) or the assets thereof be held liable with respect to the breach or other default by an obligated Fund or the Investment Company of its Obligations set forth herein.

Corporation wishes to effect four reorganizations described in section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) (all “section” references are to the Code, unless otherwise noted), and intends this Agreement to be, and adopts it as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations under the Code (“Regulations”). Each reorganization will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Target Fund to the corresponding Survivor Fund listed on Exhibit A (as to each Target Fund, the “corresponding Survivor Fund”) in exchange solely for (a) shares of beneficial interest of that corresponding Survivor Fund (“Survivor Fund Shares”), as described herein, and (b) the assumption by the Survivor Fund of all liabilities of the Target Fund, and (2) the subsequent distribution of the corresponding Survivor Fund Shares (which shall then constitute all of the assets of the Target Fund) pro rata to the shareholders in exchange for their shares of beneficial interest of the Target Fund (the “Target Fund Shares”) in complete liquidation thereof, and (3) terminating the Target Fund, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein (all the foregoing transactions involving each Target Fund and its corresponding Survivor Fund being referred to herein collectively as a “Reorganization”). The consummation of any particular Reorganization shall not be contingent on the consummation of any other Reorganization. (For convenience, the balance of this Agreement, except paragraphs 3.1(a), 3.1(r), 3.2(a) and 3.2(m), refers only to a single Reorganization, one Target Fund, and one Survivor Fund, but the terms and conditions hereof shall apply separately to each Reorganization and the Funds participating therein.)

The Investment Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), in each case including a majority of its members who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) (“Non-Interested Persons”) of the Investment Company, (1) has duly adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (2) has duly authorized performance thereof on the Funds’ behalf by all necessary Board action, and (3) has determined that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund that is a series thereof and that the interests of the existing shareholders thereof will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

1.1. Subject to the requisite approvals and the terms and conditions set forth herein, Target Fund shall assign, sell, convey, transfer, and deliver all of its assets described in paragraph 1.2 (“Assets”) to Survivor Fund. In exchange therefor, Survivor Fund shall:

(a) issue and deliver to Target Fund, as applicable, the number of full and fractional (all references herein to “fractional” shares meaning fractions rounded to the third decimal place) Survivor Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value (NAV) equal to the aggregate NAV of all full and fractional Target Fund Shares then outstanding; and

(b) assume all of Target Fund’s liabilities described in paragraph 1.3 (“Liabilities”).

Those transactions shall take place at the Closing (as defined in paragraph 2.1).

1.2 The Assets shall consist of all assets and property of every kind and nature—including all cash, cash equivalents, securities, commodities, futures interests, receivables (including interest and dividends receivable), claims and rights of action, rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, and books and records—Target Fund owns at the Effective Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1) and any deferred and prepaid expenses shown as assets on Target Fund’s books at that time.

1.3 The Liabilities shall consist of all of Target Fund’s liabilities, whether known or unknown, accrued or contingent, debts, obligations, and duties existing at the Effective Time, excluding Reorganization Expenses (as defined in paragraph 3.3(f)) borne by Ohio National pursuant to paragraph 6.

1.4 At the Effective Time (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), Target Fund shall distribute all Survivor Fund Shares it receives pursuant to paragraph 1.1(a) to its shareholders of record determined at the Effective Time (each, a “Shareholder”), in proportion to their Target Fund Shares then held of record and in constructive exchange therefor, and shall completely liquidate. That distribution shall be accomplished by Corporation’s transfer agent’s opening accounts on Survivor Fund’s shareholder records in the Shareholders’ names and transferring those Survivor Fund Shares thereto. Pursuant to that transfer, each Shareholder’s account shall be credited with the number of full and fractional Survivor Fund Shares having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the Target Fund Shares that Shareholder holds at the Effective Time. All issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares, including any represented by certificates, shall simultaneously be canceled on Target Fund’s shareholder records. Corporation shall not issue certificates representing the Survivor Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization.

1.5 (a) The value of the Target Fund’s net assets (the assets to be acquired by the Survivor Fund hereunder, net of liabilities assumed by the Survivor Fund) shall be the value of such net assets computed as of the close of business on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Target Fund’s then current prospectus and statement of additional information or such other valuation procedures as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(b) For purposes of the Reorganization, the net asset value per share of the Survivor Fund Shares shall be equal to the Survivor Fund’s net asset value per share computed as of the close of business on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Survivor Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information or such other valuation procedures as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(c) All computations of value and NAV shall be made by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“UBFS”), accounting agent for the Funds, in accordance with its regular practice in pricing the shares and assets of each Fund.

1.6 Any transfer taxes payable on the issuance and transfer of Survivor Fund Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder on Target Fund’s shareholder records of the Target Fund Shares actually or constructively exchanged therefor shall be paid by the transferee thereof, as a condition of that issuance and transfer.

1.7 Any reporting responsibility of Target Fund to a public authority, including the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, any federal, state, and local tax authorities, and any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain its responsibility up to and including the date on which it is terminated, except that Survivor Fund shall be responsible for preparing and filing any Form N-Q or Form N-CSR (including the annual report to shareholders) if the fiscal period relating to such form ended prior to the Effective Time, but as of the Effective Time such form has not yet been filed.

1.8 After the Effective Time, Target Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its dissolution and termination. As soon as reasonably practicable after distribution of the Survivor Fund Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.4, but in all events within six months after the Effective Time, (a) Target Fund shall be terminated as a series of Corporation and (b) Corporation shall make all filings and take all other actions in connection therewith necessary and proper to effect Target Fund’s complete dissolution.

2. CLOSING AND EFFECTIVE TIME

2.1 Unless the parties agree otherwise, all acts necessary to consummate the Reorganization (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately after the close of business (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on or about December 13, 2013 (“Effective Time”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of UBFS, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000.

2.2 Corporation shall direct the custodian of Target Fund’s assets to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer (“Certificate”) stating and verifying that (a) the Assets it holds will be transferred to Survivor Fund at the Effective Time, (b) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made, and (c) the information (including adjusted basis and holding period, by lot) concerning the Assets, including all portfolio securities, transferred by Target Fund to Survivor Fund, as reflected on Survivor Fund’s books immediately after the Effective Time, does or will conform to that information on Target Fund’s books immediately before the Effective Time.

2.3 Corporation shall direct its transfer agent to deliver at the Closing (a) to Corporation, a Certificate (1) verifying that Target Fund’s shareholder records contain each Shareholder’s name and address and the number of full and fractional outstanding Target Fund Shares that each such Shareholder owns at the Effective Time and (2) as to the opening of accounts on Survivor Fund’s shareholder records in the names of the Shareholders and (b) to Corporation, a confirmation, or other evidence satisfactory to Corporation, that the Survivor Fund Shares to be credited to Target Fund at the Effective Time have been credited to Target Fund’s account on those records.

2.4 Corporation shall deliver to Corporation and Ohio National, within five days before the Closing, a Certificate listing each security, by name of issuer and number of shares, that is being carried on Target Fund’s books at an estimated fair market value provided by an authorized pricing vendor for Target Fund.

2.5 At the Closing, the Investment Company shall deliver, on behalf of each Fund, as applicable, (a) bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, receipts, and/or other documents the Investment Company or its counsel reasonably requests and (b) a Certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the recipient, and dated the Effective Time, to the effect that the representations and warranties it made in this Agreement are true and correct at the Effective Time except as they may be affected by the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.5 At any time before the Closing, Corporation may waive any of the foregoing conditions (except those set forth in paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4) if, in the judgment of the Board, that waiver will not have a material adverse effect on the applicable Fund’s shareholders’ interests.

7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO SURVIVAL

Corporation, on behalf of each Target Fund, and Corporation on behalf of each Survivor Fund, has not made any representation, warranty, or covenant not set forth herein, and this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Corporation, on behalf of each Target Fund, and Corporation on behalf of each Survivor Fund. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not survive the Closing.

8. TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated at any time at or before the Closing with respect to the applicable Reorganization by resolution of either the Board, on behalf of each Target Fund, or the Board, on behalf of the corresponding Survivor Fund, if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of that Board, make proceeding with the Agreement inadvisable with respect to such Target Fund or such Survivor Fund, respectively. Any such termination resolution will be effective when made. The termination of this Agreement with respect to a Target Fund or its corresponding Survivor Fund shall not affect the continued effectiveness of this Agreement with respect to any other Target Fund or Survivor Fund, nor shall it affect the rights and obligations of any party in respect of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

9. AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such manner as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the authorized officers of Corporation, on behalf of each Target Fund, and Corporation, on behalf of the corresponding Survivor Fund.

Any term or provision hereof that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of that invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ohio Law, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws; provided that, in the case of any conflict between that law and the federal securities laws, the latter shall govern.

11.3 Notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed and delivered on behalf of Corporation’s directors solely in their capacities as directors, and not individually, and that Corporation’s obligations under this instrument are not binding on or enforceable against any of its directors, officers, shareholders, or series other than the applicable Fund but are only binding on and enforceable against its property attributable to and held for the benefit of such applicable Fund (“Fund’s Property”) and not Corporation’s property attributable to and held for the benefit of any other series thereof. Corporation, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement on its or a Fund’s behalf, shall look only to the corresponding Fund’s Property in settlement of those rights or claims and not to the property of any other series of Corporation or to those directors, officers, or shareholders.
