NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EATON VANCE MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES DETAILS OF REDEMPTION OF LIQUID YIELD OPTION™ NOTES (LYONS) DUE 2031

BOSTON, MA, July 28, 2006— Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE:EV), today announced that it will redeem for cash all of its outstanding Liquid Yield Option™ Notes due 2031 ("Notes") on August 14, 2006. As provided pursuant to the indenture governing the Notes (“Indenture”), the redemption price is $688.25 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes. As of July 28, 2006, approximately $110,945,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes was outstanding. Original issue discount and interest on the Notes will cease to accrue on and after August 14, 2006.

In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holder into the Company's non-voting common stock at a rate of 28.7314 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of Notes surrendered for exchange. Rights of holders to effect an exchange of the Notes will expire at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on August 10, 2006. After that time, holders of Notes that are not exchanged will receive the redemption price. EVM has the right to meet exchanges in cash, and intends to pay cash in lieu of delivery of the Company’s non-voting common shares with respect to any Note that may be exchanged. The amount of cash to be paid for each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of a Note upon exchange shall be based on the average sale price of the Company’s non-voting common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following the exchange date (“Exchange Price”).

The accreted value of the Notes outstanding as of July 28, 2006 is approximately $76.3 million. To the extent that the Exchange Price is greater than $23.95, EVM will recognize a charge to interest expense in its fiscal fourth quarter equal to the difference between the cash paid on exchange and the accreted value of the Notes exchanged. For example, if all holders exchanged their Notes and the Exchange Price were $24.42, the same as the closing price on July 27, 2006, then EVM would recognize a charge to interest expense of approximately $1.5 million in its fiscal fourth quarter. If the Exchange Price were higher, the charge to interest expense would be higher. In addition, EVM will write off $1.5 million of deferred financing costs in its fiscal fourth quarter in conjunction with the early redemption or exchange.
