BOSTON, Dec. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Eaton
Vance closed-end funds listed below released today the estimated
sources of their December 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 or quarterly, 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 December distribution.
It is not determinative of the tax character of a Fund's
distributions for the 2016 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.
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: You should not draw any
conclusions about each Fund's investment performance from the
amount of this distribution or from the terms of each Fund's
Plan. Each Fund estimates that it has distributed more than
its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of
your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital
may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you
invested in each Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital
distribution does not necessarily reflect each Fund's investment
performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or
'income.' The amounts and sources of distributions reported
in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for
tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the
amounts for accounting and/or tax reporting purposes will depend
upon each Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its
fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.
Each Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that
will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income
tax purposes.
The following tables set forth estimates of the sources of
each Fund's December distribution and its cumulative distributions
paid for its fiscal year through December
31, 2016, and information relating to each Fund's
performance based on its net asset value (NAV) for certain
periods.
