Distribution Dates and Amounts Announced for Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds

The following Eaton Vance closed-end funds (the “Funds”) announced distributions today as detailed below.

Taxable Funds:

Funds Making Distributions Under a Managed Distribution Plan*:

* These Funds make distributions in accordance with a managed distribution plan. Under the managed distribution plan, a Fund issues a notice to shareholders and a press release containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information on payment date of the distribution. A Fund’s distributions in any period may be more or less than the net return earned by the Fund on its investments, and therefore should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with “yield” or “income.” Distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its net asset value to erode. Investors should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of its distribution or from the terms of its managed distribution plan. A Fund’s Board of Trustees may amend or terminate the managed distribution plan at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders.

Each Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its common shareholders (stated in terms of a fixed cents per common share dividend distribution rate). Each Fund’s ability to maintain its declared distribution amount will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and stability of investment income earned by the Fund; the performance of the Fund’s investments; the Fund’s expenses, including the cost of financing for Funds that employ leverage; underlying market conditions; realized and projected returns; and other factors. There can be no assurance that an unanticipated change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund’s distributions at a future time.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of any monthly distribution. Each Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and non-dividend distributions, also known as return of capital. A Fund may distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains and, therefore, a distribution may include a return of capital. With each distribution, a Fund will issue a notice to its common shareholders containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information. Further information regarding Fund distributions will also be available prior to any applicable payment date at funds.eatonvance.com. The final determination of tax characteristics of each Fund’s distributions will occur after the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the shareholders. Shareholders should not assume that the source of any distribution from a Fund is net income or profit, and the Fund’s distributions should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with “yield” or “income.”

Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar investments, investors’ expectations for future distribution changes, the clarity of the Fund’s investment strategy and future return expectations, and investors’ confidence in the underlying markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.
