Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (EVF) filings document governance, shareholder voting, and security-registration matters for a closed-end management investment company. Proxy materials describe annual meeting procedures and trustee elections, while Form 8-K reports record board leadership changes and the size of the Board of Trustees.
The filing record also identifies the fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value, trading symbol, and NYSE listing. For this fund type, regulatory disclosures center on board oversight, shareholder approvals, capital structure, listing status, and other material events affecting the trust.
Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust is soliciting proxies for its annual meeting to elect trustees and address other routine matters. Shareholders will vote to elect three Class III trustees—Alan C. Bowser, George J. Gorman and Marcus L. Smith—by holders of Common Shares and Auction Preferred Shares (APS) voting together, and one Class III trustee, Nancy Wiser Stefani, by APS holders voting separately. The filing states 18,170,289 Common Shares and 752 APS are outstanding. The Fund notes one or more shareholders own 5% or more (details in Exhibit B) and that trustees and officers beneficially own less than 1% collectively. Proxy materials and shareholder voting instructions are available on the Eaton Vance website and via a listed phone number.
Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust reported the unexpected passing of its Board Chairperson, Mr. Mark R. Fetting, on August 9, 2025. He had been serving as Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, which oversees the closed-end fund.
Ms. Susan J. Sutherland is now serving as acting Chairperson of the Board, providing immediate leadership continuity. Effective August 12, 2025, the Board reduced its size from ten to nine members, formally reflecting the vacancy created by Mr. Fetting’s death.
