At this time the Funds believe that a portion of the January
distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than
net investment income. If that is the case, you will be
notified in writing. Further information will be available
prior to the payment date at http://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.
The Funds make distributions in accordance with a managed
distribution plan. With each distribution, 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. 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 distribution rate may be affected by
numerous factors, including changes in realized and projected
equity market returns, option premiums, Fund performance and other
factors. There can be no assurance that a change in market
conditions or other factors will not result in a change in a Fund's
distribution rate. Additional information about the Funds,
including performance and portfolio characteristic information, is
available at www.eatonvance.com.
The Funds are managed by Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of
Eaton Vance Corp. (NYSE: EV), based in Boston, one of the oldest investment
management firms in the United
States, with a history dating back to 1924. Eaton Vance and
its affiliates managed $280.7 billion

through a variety of market conditions has made Eaton Vance the

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.
