The Eaton Vance closed-end funds listed below released today the estimated sources of their October distributions (each a “Fund”). This press release is issued as required by the Funds’ managed distribution plan (Plan) and an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Trustees has approved the implementation of the Plan to make monthly, as noted below, cash distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed amount per common share. This information is sent to you for informational purposes only and is an estimate of the sources of the October distribution. It is not determinative of the tax character of a Fund’s distributions for the 2024 calendar year. Shareholders should note that each Fund’s total regular distribution amount is subject to change as a result of market conditions or other factors.
The following tables set forth estimates of the sources of each Fund’s October distribution and its cumulative distributions paid for its fiscal year through October 31, 2024, and information relating to each Fund’s performance based on its net asset value (NAV) for certain periods.
