Context
- These were institutional redemptions of high‑denomination auction preferred shares (each with a $25,000 liquidation preference), executed via the issuer’s tender offer — not open‑market sales by an executive.
- As a 10% owner and not an individual officer/director, this transaction reflects institutional redemption activity rather than a personal trade signal.
- The tender offer that enabled the redemption was disclosed by Eaton Vance Senior Floating‑Rate Trust (tender offer filed April 4, 2026 and amended June 1, 2026).
