BOSTON, Dec. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eaton Vance Management, the Boston-based investment adviser, announced the monthly distributions declared on the common shares of one of its closed-end bank loan funds (the "Funds"). The record date for the distributions is December 31, 2010, and the payable date is January 7, 2011. The ex-date is December 29, 2010. The declaration, record and payment dates of the regular January distribution have been accelerated to allow the Fund to meet its 2010 distribution requirements for federal excise tax purposes. The Fund expects to declare its next regular monthly distribution at the beginning of February for payment in the middle of February. The distribution per share for the Fund is as follows:
Regular Special Total Distribution Distribution Distribution Fund Per Share Per Share Per Share Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust $0.036 $0.020 $0.056
The Fund's special distribution is being paid as a result of tax gains from foreign currency hedging transactions related to foreign denominated bank loans and to enable the Fund to meet its 2010 distribution requirement for federal excise tax purposes.
At this time the Fund believes that a portion of the January distributions 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 each Fund's distribution will occur after the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the shareholders.
