PR Newswire (US)
BOSTON, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eaton Vance Management,
the Boston-based investment adviser, today announced the quarterly
distributions declared on the common shares of two of its
closed-end equity funds (the "Funds"). The record date for the
distributions is March 24, 2010, and the payable date is March 31,
2010. The ex-date is March 22, 2010. The distribution per share for
each Fund is as follows: Distribution Fund Per Share Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Buy-Write Opportunities Fund (NYSE:ETV) $0.400 Eaton
Vance Tax-Managed Global Buy-Write Opportunities Fund (NYSE:ETW)
$0.390 Each Fund's portfolio management team reviews the level and
sustainability of the Fund's distributions periodically. The team
considered a number of factors before deciding to decrease each
Fund's distribution at this time, including the current market and
volatility outlooks, level of assets in each respective Fund, and
the dividend yield of the underlying equity portfolios. As
portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions
on the Funds' shares could be further changed. At this time the
Funds believe that a portion of the March 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://individuals.eatonvance.com/. The final determination of tax
characteristics of the Fund's distributions will occur after the
end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the
shareholders. 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
