On October 8, 2020, Eaton Vance announced that it had signed an agreement to be acquired by Morgan Stanley for approximately $7 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Eaton Vance stockholders will receive $28.25 in cash and 0.5833 shares of Morgan Stanley common stock for each share of Eaton Vance common stock owned. Additionally, Eaton Vance stockholders will receive a one-time dividend of $4.25 before the close of the deal. The deal is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2021.
