PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of Eaton Vance Short Duration Diversified Income Fund (the “Short Duration Fund”) and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund (the “Tax-Advantaged Fund”) (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). The proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the principal office of each Fund, One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, as discussed further herein. The Annual Meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card(s) are first being sent or given to shareholders on or about December 30, 2025.
The Board of Trustees of each Fund (the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) has fixed the close of business on November 25, 2025 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. The number of common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), of each Fund outstanding on November 25, 2025, were as follows:
| Fund | No. of Common Shares Outstanding on November 25, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Short Duration Fund | 13,456,906 |
| Tax-Advantaged Fund | 16,388,138 |
Each Fund will vote separately on each proposal; votes of multiple Funds will not be aggregated.
To the knowledge of the Funds, based on filings made on Schedules 13D and 13G pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of November 25, 2025, one or more shareholders of a Fund owned 5% or more of the Fund's Common Shares. Information relating to such shareholders can be found on Exhibit C. To the knowledge of the Funds, as of November 25, 2025: (i) no other shareholder owned 5% or more of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares; and (ii) the Trustees and executive officers of each Fund, individually and as a group, owned beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding Common Shares of each Fund.
Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date of November 25, 2025 are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will authorize the persons named on the respective proxy card enclosed as proxies, or any of them, to vote FOR the election of each Trustee. An executed proxy delivered to a Fund is revocable by the person giving it, prior to its exercise, by a signed writing filed with the Fund’s Secretary, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting the shares at the Annual Meeting. Merely attending the Annual Meeting will not revoke a previously executed proxy. If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, adviser or custodian), please consult with the intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after they have been provided.
If you are a record holder of Fund shares and plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you must show a valid photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. Please call 1-800-262-1122 for information on how to obtain directions to be able to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary and plan to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, you will be required to show a valid photo identification and your authority to vote your shares (referred to as a “legal proxy”) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. As described above, you must contact your intermediary to obtain a legal proxy for your shares.
