FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EATON VANCE CORP. ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF REDEMPTION OF LIQUID
YIELD OPTION ^TM NOTES DUE 2031 (Zero Coupon-Senior)

BOSTON, MA, August 18, 2006 -- Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (NYSE:EV), today announced that it has completed the redemption of all of its outstanding Liquid Yield Option™ Notes due 2031 (“Notes”). As of today, $110,945,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes with an accreted value of $76.4 million were redeemed for cash or exchanged for the cash value of Eaton Vance Corp. non-voting common stock in the aggregate amount of $86.2 million.

Upon receipt of EVM’s notice of its intent to redeem, holders of the Notes had the option to exchange the Notes into Eaton Vance Corp. non-voting common stock at a rate of 28.7314 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity until the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on August 10, 2006. As of the close of business on August 10, 2006, $110,939,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes were tendered for exchange into the Company’s non-voting common stock. EVM elected to pay the holders cash in lieu of delivering stock as provided for in the indenture governing the Notes. As a result, EVM will pay $86.2 million to holders who presented their Notes for exchange. In addition to those Notes exchanged, $6,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes were redeemed for cash in the aggregate amount of $4,130.

The redemption of the Notes resulted in the elimination of all of Eaton Vance Corp.’s long-term debt and will reduce its diluted shares outstanding by 3.2 million shares or approximately 2.3 percent. The $9.8 million premium value of the shares in excess of the accreted value of the Notes paid in cash to Note holders will be recorded as interest expense in Eaton Vance Corp.’s fiscal fourth quarter income statement. This expense and the accelerated amortization of the debt issuance costs will result in a reduction in fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.05.
