Item 58.0301 ~~Amendments~~Other ~~to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year.~~Events

OnNew ~~August~~Trustee 13, 2020, the Board of Trustees of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) amended and restated the By-Laws of the Fund (the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”). The Amended and Restated By-Laws include provisions (the “Control Share Provisions”) pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of Fund shares in a “Control Share Acquisition” may exercise voting rights with respect to such shares only to the extent the authorization of such voting rights is approved by other shareholders of the Fund. The Control Share Provisions are primarily intended to protect the interests of the Fund and its shareholders by limiting the risk that the Fund will become subject to undue influence by opportunistic hedge funds or other activist investors. As described further below, the Control Share Provisions do not eliminate voting rights for shares acquired in Control Share Acquisitions, but rather, they entrust the Fund’s other “non-interested” shareholders with determining whether to approve the authorization of voting rights for such shares.Appointment
