Subject line: Eaton Vance Proxy Information (OR
–sent as a reply to financial advisor’s email with questions)
Name,
I wholly recognize that our proxy outreach to shareholders
may result in questions from your clients, and we appreciate your support of these important matters. As it pertains to your questions
surrounding the upcoming votes, [Wholesaler] and I would like to assist in the process in any way possible.
Below are a few points I’ve highlighted to address
some of the most commonly asked questions that you may articulate to your clients.
Will my clients be receiving phone calls?
-
Shareholders may receive phone calls daily beginning
about a week after the proxy statements mail (closed-end fund calls have already begun and open-end fund calls are expected to
start in January).
-
Shareholders may also receive hard copy correspondence
regarding the proxy statements.
How can my clients stop receiving calls?
-
Please ask your clients to vote. Shareholders will
stop receiving phone calls once they vote.
Can my clients vote online?
-
Yes. Shareholders can vote online, on the phone, or
via mail.
When will the calls stop?
-
We encourage you to advise clients to vote so they
no longer receive calls and additional correspondence.
If a client asks you how they should vote, what should
you say?
-
We encourage shareholders to vote in favor of the proposals.
-
Approval will provide continuity of the funds’
investment programs and help ensure that fund operations continue uninterrupted after the close of the transaction.
Here are some additional resources for Public Use that
you can share with your clients:

further.
