The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each of the above registered investment companies, each a Massachusetts business trust (together, the “Funds”), will be held at the principal office of each Fund, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, on Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Time), for the following purposes:

(1)	To elect Trustees of each Fund as outlined below:
	a.	For Eaton Vance High Income 2021 Target Term Trust:

(2)	To consider and act upon any other matters that may properly come before the meeting and any adjourned or postponed session thereof.

Although each Fund is holding a separate meeting, the meetings will be held concurrently. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately. Any such vote FOR or AGAINST the proposal will also authorize the persons named as proxies to vote accordingly FOR or AGAINST any such adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund has fixed the close of business on November 12, 2020 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders of a Fund entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment at our Annual Meeting, the Fund and the Board are closely monitoring developments with respect to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and the advice and guidance of public health officials. For that reason, the Board reserves the right to reconsider the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting. Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the Board may choose to conduct the meeting solely by means of remote communications, or may hold a “hybrid” meeting where some participants attend in person and others attend by means of remote communications. If the Board chooses to change the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting, the Fund will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as additional proxy material. Attendees are also encouraged to review guidance from public health authorities on this issue.

By Order of each Board of Trustees

PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of Eaton Vance High Income 2021 Target Term Trust (the “High Income 2021 Target Term Trust”) and Eaton Vance National Municipal Opportunities Trust (the “National Municipal Opportunities Trust”) (together, the “Funds”). The proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the principal office of each Fund, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice. This proxy material is being mailed to shareholders on or about November 25, 2020.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund (each, the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on November 12, 2020 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. The number of Common Shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”) of each Fund outstanding on November 12, 2020, were as follows:

Fund	No. of Common Shares Outstanding on November 12, 2020
High Income 2021 Target Term Trust	21,464,504
National Municipal Opportunities Trust	15,313,384

Each Fund will vote separately on each item; votes of multiple Funds will not be aggregated.

Also as of November 12, 2020, to each Fund’s knowledge: (i) no shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a Class of the Fund; and (ii) the Trustees and officers of the Fund, individually and as a group, owned beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date, who have voting power with respect to such shares, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. All properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted at the meeting. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will authorize the persons named on the respective proxy card enclosed as proxies, or any of them, to vote FOR of the election of each Trustee. An executed proxy delivered to a Fund is revocable by the person giving it, prior to its exercise, by a signed writing filed with the Fund’s Secretary, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the meeting and voting the shares in person. Merely attending the meeting will not revoke a previously executed proxy. If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, adviser or custodian), please consult with the intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after they have been provided.

If you are a record holder of Fund shares and plan to attend the meeting in person, you must show a valid photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to gain admission to the meeting. Please call 1-800-262-1122 for information on how to obtain directions to be able to attend the meeting and vote in person. If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary and plan to attend the meeting in person, you will be required to show a valid photo identification and authority to vote your shares (referred to as a “legal proxy”) to gain admission to the meeting. You must contact your intermediary to obtain a legal proxy for your shares.

The Boards of Trustees of the Funds know of no business other than that mentioned in Proposal 1 of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders that will be presented for consideration. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment.

PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Each Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Trustees shall fix the number of the entire Board and that such number shall be at least two and no greater than fifteen. Each Board has fixed the number of Trustees at eleven. Under the terms of each Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years to expire on the date of the third annual meeting following its election. Thus, this could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board.

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

Proxies will be voted for the election of the following nominees:
	a.	For High Income 2021 Target Term Trust:
		(i)	four Class II Trustees, George J. Gorman, Valerie A. Mosley, William H. Park and Marcus L. Smith, to be elected by the shareholders of the Fund’s Common Shares; and
	b.	For National Municipal Opportunities Trust:
		(i)	four Class III Trustees, Mark R. Fetting, George J. Gorman, Helen Frame Peters and Marcus L. Smith, to be elected by the shareholders of the Fund’s Common Shares.

The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee nominees of each Fund.

Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee of his or her respective Fund and has consented to continue to so serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to serve for any reason (which is not now expected) when the election occurs, the accompanying proxy will be voted for such other person or persons as the Board of Trustees may recommend. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement.

Each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. No nominee is a party adverse to his or her respective Fund or any of its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee have an interest materially adverse to such Fund.

The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees of each Fund, including the principal occupations of each such person for at least the last five years. References below to “EHT” are to High Income 2021 Target Term Trust and to “EOT” are to National Municipal Opportunities Trust.

Year first appointed to serve as Trustee for a fund in the Eaton Vance family of funds. Each Trustee has served continuously since appointment unless indicated otherwise.

Each current Trustee listed above served as a Trustee of 143 funds within the Eaton Vance fund complex as of November 12, 2020 (including both master and feeder funds in a master-feeder structure), except for Messrs. Faust and Wennerholm and Ms. Frost. Messrs. Faust and Wennerholm and Ms. Frost served as a Trustee of 142 funds within the Eaton Vance fund complex as of the same date listed above (including both master and feeder funds in a master-feeder structure). The address of each Trustee is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

Each Trustee holds office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject to a prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Under the terms of each Fund’s current Trustee retirement policy, an Independent Trustee must retire and resign as a Trustee on the earlier of: (i) the first day of July following his or her 74^th birthday; or (ii), with limited exception, December 31^st of the 20^th year in which he or she has served as a Trustee. However, if such retirement and resignation would cause a Fund to be out of compliance with Section 16 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) or any other regulations or guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), then such retirement and resignation will not become effective until such time as action has been taken for a Fund to be in compliance with Section 16 of the 1940 Act.

Interested Trustee

Mr. Faust is an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) by reason of his affiliation with EVM, each Fund’s investment adviser, and EVC, a publicly-held holding company, which owns all the outstanding shares of EVM and of EVM’s trustee, EV. (EVM, EVC, and their affiliates are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Eaton Vance Organization.”) Mr. Faust holds positions with other Eaton Vance affiliates that are comparable to his position with Eaton Vance listed above.

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

The following table shows the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Trustee in all registered investment companies advised or administered by Eaton Vance (the “Eaton Vance family of funds”) overseen by the Trustee.

Board Meetings and Committees

The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the business and affairs of each Fund. The Board has engaged an investment adviser and (if applicable) a sub-adviser (collectively, the “adviser”) to manage each Fund. The Funds’ investment adviser also serves as administrator of each Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing such adviser and administrator and other service providers to the Fund. The Board is currently composed of eleven Trustees, including ten Trustees who are not “interested persons” of a Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (each a “noninterested Trustee”). In addition to six regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established six committees to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.

The Board has appointed a noninterested Trustee to serve in the role of Chairperson. The Chairperson’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board and the identification of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board. The Chairperson also presides at all meetings of the Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Board members generally between meetings. The Chairperson may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. In addition, the Board may appoint a noninterested Trustee to serve in the role of Vice-Chairperson. The Vice-Chairperson has the power and authority to perform any or all of the duties and responsibilities of the Chairperson in the absence of the Chairperson and/or as requested by the Chairperson. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to each Fund’s Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, the designation of Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson does not impose on such noninterested Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.

Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance, operational, and valuation risks. Risk oversight is part of the Board’s general oversight of each Fund and is addressed as part of various activities of the Board and its Committees. As part of its oversight of each Fund, the Board directly, or through a Committee, relies on and reviews reports from, among others, Fund management, the adviser, administrator, the principal underwriter, the Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”), and other Fund service providers responsible for day-to-day oversight of Fund

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

investments, operations and compliance to assist the Board in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of risks and determining whether, and to what extent, such risks can or should be mitigated. The Board also interacts with the CCO and with senior personnel of the adviser, administrator, the principal underwriter and other Fund service providers and provides input on risk management issues during meetings of the Board and its Committees. Each of the adviser, administrator, the principal underwriter and the other Fund service providers has its own independent interest and responsibilities in risk management, and its policies and methods for carrying out risk management functions will depend, in part, on its individual priorities, resources and controls. It is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect a Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve a Fund’s goals.

The Board, with the assistance of management and with input from the Board’s various committees, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of Fund performance. The Board has appointed a Fund CCO who oversees the implementation and testing of each Fund’s compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Funds and their principal service providers. In addition, as part of the Board’s periodic review of the advisory, subadvisory (if applicable), distribution and other service provider agreements, the Board may consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible. With respect to valuation, the Board approves and periodically reviews valuation policies and procedures applicable to valuing each Fund’s shares. The administrator and the adviser are responsible for the implementation and day-to-day administration of these valuation policies and procedures and provide reports to the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board regarding these and related matters. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board or the Board receives reports periodically from the independent public accounting firm for each Fund regarding tests performed by such firm on the valuation of all securities, as well as with respect to other risks associated with registered investment companies. Reports received from service providers, legal counsel and the independent public accounting firm assist the Board in performing its oversight function.

Each Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) set forth specific qualifications to serve as a Trustee. The Charter of the Governance Committee also sets forth certain factors that the Committee may take into account in considering noninterested Trustee candidates. In general, no one factor is decisive in the selection of an individual to join the Board. Among the factors the Board considers when concluding that an individual should serve on the Board are the following: (i) knowledge in matters relating to the mutual fund industry; (ii) experience as a director or senior officer of public companies; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation for high ethical standards and professional integrity; (v) specific financial, technical or other expertise, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board members’ existing mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications; (vi) perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the ability to qualify as a noninterested Trustee for purposes of the 1940 Act and any other actual or potential conflicts of interest involving the individual and each Fund; and (viii) such other factors as the Board determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board.

Among the attributes or skills common to all Board members are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other members of the Board, management, sub-advisers, other service providers, counsel and independent registered public accounting firms, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as members of the Board. Each Board member’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively has been attained through the Board member’s business, consulting, public service and/or academic positions and through experience from service as a member of the Boards of the Eaton Vance family of funds (“Eaton Vance Fund Boards”) (and/or in other capacities, including for any predecessor funds), public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations as set forth below. Each Board member’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively also has been enhanced by his or her educational background, professional training, and/or other life experiences.

In respect of each current member of the Board, the individual’s substantial professional accomplishments and experience, including in fields related to the operations of registered investment companies, were a significant factor in the determination that the individual should serve as a member of the Board. The following is a summary of each Board member’s particular professional experience and additional considerations that contributed to the Board’s conclusion that he or she should serve as a member of the Board:

The Audit Committee’s Report is set forth below under “Additional Information.”

Messrs. Wennerholm (Chairperson), Fetting, Gorman, Park, Quinton and Smith and Mmes. Frost, Mosley, Peters and Sutherland are members of the Contract Review Committee. The purposes of the Contract Review Committee are to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board concerning the following matters: (i) contractual arrangements with each service provider to each Fund, including advisory, sub-advisory, transfer agency, custodial and fund accounting, distribution services (if any) and administrative services; (ii) any and all other matters in which any of each Fund’s service providers (including Eaton Vance or any affiliated entity thereof) has an actual or potential conflict of interest with the interests of the Fund or its shareholders; and (iii) any other matter appropriate for review by the noninterested Trustees, unless the matter is within the responsibilities of other Committees of the Board.

Mmes. Mosley (Chairperson), Frost, Peters and Sutherland and Messrs. Fetting, Gorman, Park, Quinton, Smith and Wennerholm are members of the Governance Committee.

Each Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Governance Committee, a copy of which is available on the Eaton Vance website, https://funds.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-and-term-trust-documents.php. The Governance Committee identifies candidates by obtaining referrals from such sources as it deems appropriate, which may include current Trustees, management of the Fund, counsel and other advisors to the Trustees, and shareholders of the Funds who submit recommendations in accordance with the procedures described in the Committee’s charter. In no event shall the Governance Committee consider as a candidate to fill any vacancy an individual recommended by management of the Funds, unless the Governance Committee has invited management to make such a recommendation. The Governance Committee will, when a vacancy exists, consider a nominee for Trustee recommended by a shareholder, provided that such recommendation is submitted in writing to the Fund’s Secretary at the principal executive office of the Fund. Such recommendations must be accompanied by biographical and occupational data on the candidate (including whether the candidate would be an “interested person” of the Fund), a written consent by the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as Trustee if elected, record and ownership information for the recommending shareholder with respect to the Fund, and a description of any arrangements or understandings regarding recommendation of the candidate for consideration.

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

The Governance Committee does not have a formal policy to consider diversity when identifying candidates for the position of noninterested Trustee. Rather, as a matter of practice, the Committee considers the overall diversity of the Board’s composition when identifying candidates. Specifically, the Committee considers how a particular candidate could be expected to contribute to overall diversity in the backgrounds, skills and experiences of the Board’s members and thereby enhance the effectiveness of the Board. In addition, as part of its annual self-evaluation, the Board has an opportunity to consider the diversity of its members, including specifically whether the Board’s members have the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills. The results of the self-evaluation are considered by the Governance Committee in its decision-making process with respect to candidates for the position of noninterested Trustee.

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

Trustees of each Fund who are not affiliated with Eaton Vance may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, an eligible Trustee may elect to have his or her deferred fees invested in the shares of one or more funds in the Eaton Vance family of funds, and the amount paid to the Trustees under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be determined based upon the performance of such investments. Deferral of Trustees’ fees in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan will have a negligible effect on the assets, liabilities, and net income of a participating Fund, and will not obligate a Fund to retain the services of any Trustee or obligate a Fund to pay any particular level of compensation to the Trustee. No Fund has a retirement plan for its Trustees.

The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee nominees of each Fund.

NOTICE TO BANKS AND BROKER/DEALERS

Each Fund has previously solicited all Nominee and Broker/Dealer accounts as to the number of additional proxy statements required to supply owners of shares.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Audit Committee Report

Each Audit Committee reviews and discusses the audited financial statements with Fund management. Each Audit Committee also discusses with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented. Each Audit Committee receives the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented, and discusses with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for filing with the SEC. As mentioned, the Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Gorman (Chairperson), Park and Wennerholm and Ms. Peters.

Auditors, Audit Fees and All Other Fees

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, serves as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund. Representatives of Deloitte are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Aggregate audit, audit-related, tax, and other fees billed to each Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the relevant periods are set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for the relevant periods to (i) each Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm; and (ii) the Eaton Vance Organization by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm are also set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the Audit Committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by each Fund’s Audit Committee at least annually. Each Fund’s Audit Committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to the Fund’s investment adviser, as well as any of its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Fund, that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Proxy Solicitation, Tabulation and Voting Requirements

The expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and enclosures and the costs of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund will be borne ratably by the Funds. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may be solicited in person or by telephone or facsimile by officers of a Fund, by personnel of its administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, AST Fund Solutions, LLC, by broker-dealer firms, or by a professional solicitation organization. The expenses associated with the solicitation of these proxies and with any further proxies will be borne by the applicable Fund. A written proxy may be delivered to a Fund or its transfer agent prior to the meeting by facsimile machine, graphic communication equipment or similar electronic transmission. A Fund will reimburse banks, broker-dealer firms, and other persons holding shares registered in their names or in the names of their nominees, for their expenses incurred in sending proxy material to and obtaining proxies from the beneficial owners of such shares. Total estimated proxy solicitation costs are approximately $22,300 and will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder accounts.

Proxy Statement dated November 25, 2020

All proxy cards solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on the proxy card with respect to Proposal 1, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes. (Broker non-votes are shares for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.) Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes, which will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting but which have not been voted, will assist a Fund in obtaining a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1.

A quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund entitled to vote. In the event that a quorum is not present at the meeting, or if a quorum is present at the meeting but sufficient votes by the shareholders of a Fund FOR the Proposal set forth in the Notice of this meeting are not received by January 14, 2021, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of that Fund present in person or by proxy at the session of the meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote FOR such adjournment those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR the Proposal for which further solicitation of proxies is to be made. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted against such Proposal. The costs of any such additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the Funds.

Pursuant to each Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, with respect to any election of Trustees other than a contested election, a nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast at any meeting at which a quorum is present to be elected. A plurality means that the Trustee nominee receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. With respect to a contested election, a nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of a Fund’s shares outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to such nominee in order to be elected. The By-Laws define a “contested election” as any election of Trustees in which the number of persons validly nominated for election as Trustees with respect to a given class or classes of Fund shares exceeds the number of Trustees to be elected with respect to such class or classes. See Proxy Solicitation and Tabulation and Voting Requirements for the vote required to elect Trustees at the meeting.

As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment at our Annual Meeting, the Fund and the Board are closely monitoring developments with respect to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and the advice and guidance of public health officials. For that reason, the Board reserves the right to reconsider the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting. Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the Board may choose to conduct the meeting solely by means of remote communications, or may hold a “hybrid” meeting where some participants attend in person and others attend by means of remote communications. If the Board chooses to change the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting, the Fund will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release and filed with the SEC as additional proxy material. Attendees are also encouraged to review guidance from public health authorities on this issue.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms received by the Funds, all of the Trustees and officers of each Fund, EVM and its affiliates, and any person who owns more than ten percent of a Fund’s outstanding securities have complied with the filings required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding ownership of shares of the Funds for the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end.

Each Fund will furnish without charge a copy of its most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to any shareholder upon request.

EATON VANCE FUNDS

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

I. Purposes of the Committee.

The Board of Trustees or Directors (the “Board”) of each registered investment company or series thereof advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (collectively, “Eaton Vance”), excluding Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Plus Fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), has established an Audit Committee of the Board of each Fund (the “Committee”) and has approved this Charter for the operation of the Committee.¹ The purposes of the Committee are as follows:

To oversee each Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, its internal control over financial reporting, and, as appropriate, the internal control over financial reporting of certain service providers;

To oversee or, as appropriate, assist Board oversight of the quality and integrity of the Funds’ financial statements and the independent audit thereof;

To oversee or, as appropriate, assist Board oversight of the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits;

To approve prior to appointment the engagement and, when appropriate, replacement of the independent registered public accountants (“independent auditors”), and, if applicable, nominate independent auditors to be proposed for shareholder ratification in any proxy statement of a Fund;

To evaluate or, as appropriate, assist Board evaluation of the qualifications, independence and performance of the independent auditors and the audit partner in charge of leading the audit; and

To prepare such audit committee reports, consistent with the requirements of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American,” formerly NYSE MKT LLC) and New York Stock Exchange rules, for inclusion in the proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders of a Fund.

The primary function of the Committee is oversight. The Committee is not responsible for managing the Funds or for performing tasks that are delegated to the officers of any Fund, any investment adviser to a Fund, the custodian of a Fund, and other service providers for the Funds, including the independent auditors, and nothing in this Charter shall be construed to reduce the responsibilities or liabilities of management or the Funds’ service providers. It is management’s responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management is responsible for: (1) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the financial statements of each Fund; (2) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies; and (3) the maintenance of internal control over financial reporting and other procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and related laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit consistent with applicable legal and professional standards and the terms of their engagement letter, and shall report directly to the Committee. In performing its oversight function, the Committee shall be entitled to rely upon advice and information that it receives in its discussions and communications with management, the independent auditors and such experts, advisors and professionals as may be consulted by the Committee.

II. Composition of the Committee.

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three members appointed by the Board, which shall also determine the number and term, if any, of such members, in each case upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee of the Board. All members of the Committee shall be Trustees or Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of any Fund or of the investment adviser, sub-adviser or principal underwriter of any Fund (each, an “Independent Trustee,” and collectively, the “Independent Trustees”). In the event that a resignation, retirement, removal or other event or circumstance causes the number of Committee members to fall below the minimum set forth above, the Committee shall nevertheless be authorized to take any and all actions otherwise permitted under this Charter pending the appointment, within a reasonable time, of one or more Independent Trustees to fill the vacancy created thereby.

______________

The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Plus Fund operates pursuant to a separate charter. For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Charter to the “Board” or to the “Independent Trustees” do not encompass the Board of Trustees or the Independent Trustees overseeing Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Plus Fund.

A-1

The following requirements shall also be satisfied with respect to the membership and composition of the Committee:

each member of the Committee shall have been determined by the Board to have no material relationship that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment;

no member of the Committee shall receive any compensation from a Fund except compensation for service as a member or Chairperson of the Board or of a committee of the Board;

each member of the Committee shall also satisfy the Committee membership requirements imposed under the applicable rules of NYSE American and New York Stock Exchange (and any other national securities exchange on which a Fund’s shares are listed), as in effect from time to time, including with respect to the member’s former affiliations or employment and financial literacy;

at least one member of the Committee must have the accounting or related financial management expertise and financial sophistication required under applicable rules of the NYSE American and New York Stock Exchange; and

unless it determines that no member of the Committee qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR, the Board will identify one (or in its discretion, more than one) member of the Committee as an audit committee financial expert.

III. Meetings of the Committee.

Meetings of the Committee shall be held, upon reasonable notice, at such times (but not less frequently than annually with respect to each Fund), at such places and for such purposes (consistent with the purposes of the Committee set forth in this Charter) as determined from time to time by the Committee, the Chairperson of the Committee, the Board or the Chairperson of the Board. The Committee shall periodically meet separately with any independent auditors rendering reports to the Committee. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting, and the decision of a majority of the members present and voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall determine any matter submitted to a vote. The Committee may adopt such procedures or rules not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Charter as it deems appropriate to govern its conduct under this Charter, which procedures or rules, if any, shall be included as an appendix to this Charter. Notices of all meetings of the Committee shall be provided to all Independent Trustees and all Independent Trustees shall be entitled to attend such meetings. Materials provided to the members of the Committee in connection with meetings of the Committee shall be made available to each Independent Trustee.

IV. Chairperson of the Committee.

A member of the Committee shall be appointed Chairperson of the Committee by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, for a term of not more than four years, and such member may serve as Chairperson of the Committee for more than one term. The Chairperson of the Committee, or another member of the Committee designated by the Chairperson, shall preside at meetings of the Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee shall be authorized to determine the agenda of such meetings, the materials to be provided in connection with such meetings, the topics to be discussed, the amount of time to be devoted to such topics and the order in which the topics are to be addressed. The Chairperson of the Committee may from time to time establish one or more working groups comprised of members of the Committee to assist the Chairperson and the Committee in performing their duties and responsibilities, and shall promptly notify the Chairperson of the Board upon the establishment of any such working group. The Chairperson of the Committee shall provide oral or written reports to the Board at regular meetings of the Board regarding the activities of the Committee (and any working group thereof), including any approval by the Chairperson of the Board of expenditures by the Committee not previously reported to the Board. The Chairperson of the Committee shall be primarily responsible for interfacing with the Chairperson of the Board and with the Chairperson of each other committee of the Board with respect to matters potentially affecting the activities of the Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee shall also be primarily responsible, on behalf of the Committee, for interfacing with those individuals identified by Eaton Vance from time to time as being primarily responsible for responding to requests of the Committee. The Board may, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, appoint a Vice-Chairperson of the Committee with the power and authority to perform any or all of the duties and responsibilities of the Chairperson of the Committee in the absence of the Chairperson of the Committee and/or as requested by the Chairperson of the Committee. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, if any, of the Committee shall receive such compensation as determined from time to time by the Board upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee.

A-2

V. Duties and Responsibilities of the Committee.

To carry out its purposes, the Committee shall have the following duties and responsibilities:

With respect to each Fund the securities of which are listed on a national securities exchange, to meet to review and discuss with management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements and other periodic financial statements of the Fund (including the Fund’s specific disclosures under the item “Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance”); provided that discussion with the independent auditors shall not be required with respect to any periodic financial statement of the Fund that was not the subject of a review by such auditors.
