FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Results of Special Shareholder Meeting
of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate 2022 Target Term
Trust (EFL); Approval of Interim
Agreements for Certain Other Closed-End Funds
BOSTON, MA, February 23, 2021 — In connection with
the proposed acquisition of Eaton Vance Corp. (NYSE: EV) by Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) announced on October 8, 2020 (the “Transaction”),
shareholders of Eaton Vance closed-end funds were asked to approve new investment advisory agreements with Eaton Vance Management
(“EVM”) and, where applicable, new investment sub-advisory agreements for the funds. The Transaction is subject to
the completion or waiver of customary closing conditions, and is expected to close on March 1, 2021.
EFL Shareholder Meeting Results. At a special meeting
of shareholders held on February 23, 2021, shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate 2022 Target Term Trust (NYSE: EFL) approved
a new investment advisory agreement with EVM, which will be effective upon the closing of the Transaction. The vote tabulation,
as certified by EFL’s proxy tabulator, AST Fund Solutions LLC, will be published in EFL’s next report to shareholders.
Interim Agreements. To date, shareholders of the below
Eaton Vance closed-end funds (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) have not approved new investment
advisory agreements with EVM:
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (NYSE: EFT)
|
Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust (NYSE American: EVY)
|
Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (NYSE: EFR)
|
Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (NYSE: EVF)
|
Eaton Vance Short Duration Diversified Income Fund (NYSE: EVG)
|
For each such Fund, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”)
has approved an interim investment advisory agreement with EVM (the “Interim Agreement”) to take effect upon the close
of the Transaction if the Fund’s shareholders have not approved the new investment advisory agreement prior to the closing.
The Interim Agreement for each Fund would allow EVM to continue to manage the Fund for up to an additional 150 days following the
close of the Transaction to allow for further proxy solicitation and the Board’s consideration of different options for the
Fund. While an Interim Agreement is in effect, EVM would continue to manage each Fund under the Board’s oversight.
The terms of the Interim Agreement for each Fund are substantially identical to those of the Fund’s current investment advisory
agreement except for term and escrow provisions required by applicable law. As previously announced, the joint special meeting
of shareholders of EFT, EVY and EFR was adjourned to February 26, 2021.
The investment adviser to each Fund and EFL (each referred to
below as a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) is EVM, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton
Vance”). Eaton Vance provides advanced investment strategies and wealth management solutions to forward-thinking investors
around the world. Through principal investment affiliates Eaton Vance Management, Parametric, Atlanta Capital, Calvert and Hexavest,

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 a 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. Each Fund is not a complete investment program and you may lose money investing therein. An investment in a Fund may
not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully a Fund’s investment
objective, strategies, risks, charges and expenses.
This press release is for informational purposes only and
is not intended to, and does not, constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of a Fund. Additional information about the Funds,
including performance and portfolio characteristic information, is available at eatonvance.com.
Statements in this press release that are not historical
facts may be forward-looking statements, as defined by the U.S. securities laws. You should exercise caution in interpreting and
relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other factors that may be beyond a Fund’s
control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
