BOSTON, Dec. 20, 2011
/PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Vance Management, the Boston-based investment adviser, announced the
monthly distributions declared on the common shares of two of its
closed-end bank loan funds (the "Funds"). As portfolio and market
conditions change, the rate of future distributions may change. The
distributions are expected to be paid on January 11, 2012, to shareholders of record on
December 30, 2011. The ex-date
is December 28, 2011. The
declaration, record and payment dates of the regular January
distribution have been accelerated and a special distribution is
being paid on Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust to allow the
Funds to meet their 2011 distribution requirements for federal
excise tax purposes. The Funds expect to declare their next
regular monthly distribution in the middle of February for payment
at the end of February. The distribution per share for each Fund is
as follows:

net investment income. If that is the case, you will be
notified in writing. Further information will be available

end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the
shareholders.
