Trustee, Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds

November 24, 2020

Dear Shareholder:

I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones healthy and safe.

As you may be aware, Eaton Vance has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Morgan Stanley and to merge our investment management businesses. By bringing together the complementary investment capabilities, distribution and client service resources, brands and cultures of our two organizations, we seek to create the world’s premier asset manager. As part of Morgan Stanley, Eaton Vance will gain access to Morgan Stanley’s extensive resources to continue investing in our investment teams, technology and operating platforms, and market relationships to maintain the high-quality shareholder experience you have come to expect.

In conjunction with the change in control of Eaton Vance, a joint special meeting of shareholders (the Meeting) of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (EFT), Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (EFR), Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (EVF) and Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust (EVY) (the Funds) has been scheduled for January 7, 2021. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve new investment advisory agreements for the Funds. We hope that you will be able to attend the Meeting or vote your shares by proxy using the white proxy card the Fund will provide. Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be represented at the Meeting.

I am writing to alert you that you may receive proxy materials from Saba Capital Management, L.P., a hedge fund manager, and certain of its affiliates (Saba), including a GOLD or other non-white proxy card, seeking your vote against your Fund’s investment advisory agreement and unilateral discretion for Saba to decide not to vote your shares at the Meeting. This campaign could disrupt your Fund’s operations and potentially leave your Fund without an investment adviser. The Boards of Trustees of the Funds urge you NOT to sign any proxy card sent to you by Saba or by any person other than the Funds.

The Funds will be sending you proxy materials, including a WHITE proxy card, in the coming weeks. Once you receive the Funds’ proxy materials, we ask that you please read the material carefully and vote your WHITE proxy card as soon as possible through the various convenient methods that will be listed on the WHITE proxy card.

If you have any questions, please call the proxy information line at (866) 416-0552.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

 President and Chief Executive Officer, Eaton Vance Management

Trustee, Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds
