To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration is the Offer to Purchase dated April 30, 2026 in connection with offers made by (i) Limited Duration Income Fund to purchase for cash up to 100% of its outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest, (ii) Senior Floating-Rate Trust to purchase for cash up to 100% of its outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest, and (iii) Senior Income Trust to purchase for cash up to 100% of its outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (which, with respect to each Fund, constitutes the “Offer” and, together, the “Offers”). Limited Duration Income Fund, Senior Floating-Rate Trust and Senior Income Trust are referred to individually herein as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds.” The Offers for outstanding preferred shares of each Fund, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, designated Auction Preferred Shares in the Series noted above for each Fund (the “Preferred Shares”), are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and each Fund’s related Letter of Transmittal (which together, with respect to a Fund, constitute the “Offer Documents”). The price to be paid for the Preferred Shares is an amount per share, net to the seller in cash, equal to 98% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $24,500 per share), plus any unpaid dividends accrued through May 29, 2026, or such later date to which the Offer is extended, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

We are the registered holder of record of Preferred Shares held for your account. A tender of such Preferred Shares can be made only by us as the registered holder of record and only pursuant to your instructions. The Offer to Purchase is being furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to tender Preferred Shares held by us for your account.

We request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender all or any Preferred Shares held by us for your account, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer(s).

Your attention is needed to the following:

1. The price to be paid for the Preferred Shares is an amount per share, net to the seller in cash, equal to 98% of the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (or $24,500 per share), plus any unpaid dividends accrued through May 29, 2026, or such later date to which the Offer is extended, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. When considering whether to tender Preferred Shares, you should be aware that the payment received pursuant to the Offer will be less than the amount that you would be entitled to receive upon a redemption of your Preferred Shares under the terms of the Preferred Shares or upon a liquidation of the Fund.

2. Each Fund’s Offer and withdrawal rights expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, May 29, 2026, unless the Offer is extended.

3. Each Fund’s Offer is conditioned upon meeting certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase dated April 30, 2026.

4. Each Fund’s Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being tendered but is subject to certain other conditions as outlined in the Offer and in the related Letter of Transmittal.

5. Any stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Preferred Shares to a Fund pursuant to that Fund’s Offer will be paid by that Fund, except as otherwise provided in the Offer to Purchase.

6. No fees or commissions will be payable to each Fund in connection with its respective Offer. However, brokers and other nominees who tender Preferred Shares pursuant to your instructions may charge you a fee for doing so.

7. Your instructions to us should be forwarded in ample time before the Expiration Date to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf.

8. In order to facilitate auctions for any Preferred Shares that may remain outstanding after the Offers are completed, please provide, if known, the contact information for the Auction Department at your broker or other nominee, or the Broker-Dealer (if a different party) that submits auction instructions to the Auction Agent on your behalf.

If you wish to have us tender all or any of your Preferred Shares, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the instruction form on the detachable part hereof. If you authorize the tender of your Preferred Shares, all such Preferred Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the detachable part hereof. Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in order to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf in accordance with the terms and conditions of an Offer. When we tender Preferred Shares to a Fund on behalf of clients, we will submit each such tender separately and will not combine tenders by multiple clients in a single submission.

No Offer is being made to, and tenders will not be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Preferred Shares in any jurisdiction in which the making of an Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.

NO RECOMMENDATION TO ANY HOLDER OF PREFERRED SHARES IS BEING MADE BY ANY FUND, ITS BOARDS OF TRUSTEES OR EATON VANCE MANAGEMENT, THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISER, AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING PREFERRED SHARES IN AN OFFER. EACH PREFERRED SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO READ THE OFFER DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING AN OFFER. NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH AN OFFER OTHER THAN THE MATERIALS ENCLOSED HEREWITH AND THE STATEMENTS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SUCH MATERIALS, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATIONS MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY A FUND OR ITS BOARD.

Payment for Preferred Shares purchased pursuant to an Offer will in all cases be made only after timely receipt by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Depositary”) of (a) timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of such Preferred Shares into the account maintained by the Depositary at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4,

“Procedures for Tendering Preferred Shares,” of the Offer to Purchase, (b) an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), in connection with a book-entry delivery, and (c) any other documents required by the applicable Letter of Transmittal. Accordingly, payment may not be made by the Depositary to all tendering holders of Preferred Shares at the same time depending upon when confirmations of book-entry transfer of such Preferred Shares into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility are actually received by the Depositary.
