For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.

If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).

Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

*Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II* as of December 31, 2005

*MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE*

Walter A. Row Lewis R. Piantedosi Eaton Vance Management

David R. Fraley

Ronald M. Egalka

Rampart Investment

Management

*The Fund*

• Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II’s (the Fund) primary objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its primary investment strategy by using a systematic program of covered call option writing (selling) on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities to enhance the returns and dampen the volatility of its underlying stock portfolio.

• Based on share price, the Fund, a diversified, closed-end investment company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol EOS, had a total return of 0.89% from inception on January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005. This return resulted from a decrease in share price from $19.10 (offering price of $20 per share, less all commissions) on January 31, 2005, to $17.86 on December 31, 2005, plus the reinvestment of $1.44 per share in distributions.(1)

• Based on net asset value (NAV), the Fund had a total return of 9.08% for the period from inception on January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005. That return was the result of an increase in NAV per share from $19.10 (offering price of $20 per share, less all commissions) on January 31, 2005, to $19.31 on December 31, 2005, plus the reinvestment of $1.44 per share in distributions.(1)

• For comparison, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index commonly used to measure the performance of U.S. growth stocks, had a total return of 8.90% over the same period.(2)

*Management Discussion*

• A late-year surge helped the stock market conclude 2005 on a positive note, locking in its third consecutive annual gain. Investor angst over rising interest rates and record-level energy prices potentially stalling the ongoing economic expansion was offset by resilient consumer spending and healthy growth of corporate profits. Double-digit growth in dividend payouts and share buybacks, coupled with continued strength in merger and acquisition activity, provided additional support for equities.

• In 2005, energy and utilities were again the top-performing sectors in the U.S. equity markets, recording double-digit gains for the period. In the energy sector, oil and gas prices rose to record levels, which produced strong earnings growth for most companies in that sector. The utilities sector saw its performance advanced by investors continuing to embrace a defensive approach, seeking out high-yielding sectors of the market. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks once again outperformed large-cap stocks.

• For the 11-months ended December 31, 2005, the Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index on an NAV basis. The Fund’s relative performance was driven by the overall performance of stocks in the underlying portfolio and the Fund’s option writing strategy. The Fund benefited from positive stock selection in a majority of the benchmark’s sectors.

• Based on share price, as traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Fund underperformed its benchmark. After trading at a premium to its NAV for much of the period, a late-year sell-off pushed the share price to a discount to NAV.

• The Fund holds a broadly diversified portfolio consisting of 70-100 stocks; approximately 65% are mid-size market-caps and 35% are large-caps. In selecting stocks, our team of research analysts focuses on companies with above-average growth and financial strength. Stocks are selected with a valuation sensitivity, and a sell discipline is employed to help further limit risk. While the Fund is authorized to utilize leverage, it has no current intention to do so.

(1) Share price and net asset value on January 31, 2005, are calculated assuming a purchase price of $20.00, less the sales load of $0.90 per share paid by the shareholder.

(2) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund has no current intention to utilize leverage, but may do so in the future through the issuance of preferred shares and/or borrowings, including the issuance of debt securities. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

*Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.*

• The Fund writes (sells) covered call options on a substantial portion of its stock holdings. As the writer of stock options, the Fund receives initial payments (premiums) in exchange for giving the options buyers the right to acquire the associated stocks at specified exercise prices on or before specified expiration dates. Writing covered call options involves a tradeoff between the options premiums received and reduced participation in potential stock appreciation. A covered call strategy typically underperforms in strong up markets, while seeking to outperform in modestly up, flat and down markets.

• The Fund’s strategy relies on stocks selection and price target objectives set by Eaton Vance’s equity research team, in concert with Rampart Investment Management’s options optimization models. To allow for capital appreciation, the Fund varies the amount of options written on its common stock holdings. For stocks considered to have significant upside potential, the Fund generally expects to write options initially on a smaller portion of the underlying position. If the stock price rises, the options contracts are normally rolled to higher strike price options. This allows for potential increased cash flows and higher target share price realization. Equities considered to have less upside potential may be more fully written. If the stock price falls, the Fund may look to “cover,” or buy back, the options sold. Depending on the stock’s fundamental outlook, the Fund may then exit the stock position, write more options toward a new target, or write fewer options allowing the stock to recover to its original target. During the Fund’s first 11 months, it has written call option contracts covering, on average, 65-70% of stock portfolio assets.

**Common Stock Sector Allocation ***

By net assets

  • Fund information may not be representative of the Fund’s current or future investments and may change due to active management. The sector allocations are presented without the offsetting effect of the Fund’s written option positions at December 31, 2005.

The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II as of December 31, 2005

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated November 8, 2004. The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund will pursue its investment objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of mid- and large-capitalization common stocks, seeking to invest primarily in companies with above-average growth and financial strength. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to generate current earnings from option premiums by selling covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A Investment Valuation — Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System generally are valued at the official NASDAQ closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on the principal exchange or board of trade on which the options are traded or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices therefore. Futures positions on securities and currencies generally are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. If short-term debt securities were acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, their amortized cost value will be based on their value on the sixty-first day prior to maturity. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments held by the Fund for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable, and investments for which the price of the security is not believed to represent its fair market value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.

B Income — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

C Federal Taxes — The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized capital gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.

D Written Options — Upon the writing of a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written in accordance with the Fund's policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities underlying the written option.

E Offering Costs — Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the common shares were recorded as a reduction of capital paid in excess of par applicable to common shares.

F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G Indemnifications — Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are computed on the specific identification of the securities sold.

I Expense Reduction — Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

2 Distribution to Shareholders

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income and at least one distribution annually of all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains, if any. Shareholders may reinvest all distributions in shares of the Fund at the net asset value as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

The tax character of distributions paid for the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005 was as follows:

Distributions declared from:

Ordinary income $ 68,083,189

During the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005, distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $68,817,321 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $68,817,321 primarily due to differences between book and tax accounting for investment transactions. This change had no effect on the net assets or the net asset value per share.

As of December 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Ordinary income $
Unrealized gain $ 3,148,273

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Under the advisory agreement, EVM receives a monthly advisory fee in the amount of 1.00% annually of average daily gross assets of the Fund. For the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the advisory fee amounted to $8,195,712. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund's options strategy to Rampart Investment Management Company (Rampart). EVM pays Rampart a portion of the advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. EVM serves as administrator to the Fund, but currently receives no compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund.

For the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.

4 Purchases and Sales of Investments

5 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Aggregate cost $
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 40,826,729
Gross unrealized depreciation (36,286,158 )

Net increase 47,405,017

(1) For the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005.

7 Financial Instruments

The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at December 31, 2005 is included in the Portfolio of Investments.

Written call options activity for the period ended December 31, 2005 was as follows:

Outstanding, beginning of period — $ —
Options written 543,103 104,537,679
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions (208,172 ) (35,929,320 )
Options exercised (147,488 ) (34,207,889 )
Options expired (34,030 ) (6,597,327 )
Outstanding, end of period 153,413 $ 27,803,143

At December 31, 2005, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments as of December 31, 2005, the related statements of operations, and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II as of December 31, 2005, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period from the start of business, January 31, 2005, to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Fund offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant to which shareholders may elect to have dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in common shares (the Shares) of the Fund. You may elect to participate in the Plan by completing the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Application Form. If you do not participate, you will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to you by PFPC Inc. as dividend paying agent. On the distribution payment date, if the net asset value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions then new Shares will be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the greater of the net asset value per Share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent. Distributions subject to income tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.

If your shares are in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you may request that the firm or nominee participate in the Plan on your behalf. If the nominee does not offer the Plan, you will need to request that your shares be re-registered in your name with the Fund's transfer agent, PFPC Inc., or you will not be able to participate.

The Plan Agent's service fee for handling distributions will be paid by the Fund. Each participant will be charged a pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by writing to the Plan Agent at the address noted on the following page. If you withdraw, you will receive shares in your name for all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a participant elects by written notice to the Plan Agent to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit the proceeds, the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.

If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held in your own name, you may complete the form on the following page and deliver it to the Plan Agent.

Any inquires regarding the Plan can be directed to the Plan Agent, PFPC Inc., at 1-800-331-1710.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

Prior to approving the (a) investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (the "Fund") and the investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management ("Eaton Vance" or the "Adviser") and (b) investment sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") between the Fund and Rampart Investment Management Company, Inc. ("Rampart" or the "Sub-Adviser"), the Special Committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees considered, among other things, the following:

• A report comparing the fees and expenses of the Fund and certain profitability analyses prepared by Eaton Vance and Rampart;

• Information on the relevant peer group(s) of funds;

• The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the relevant investment markets;

• Eaton Vance's and Rampart's results and financial condition and the overall organization of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser;

• Arrangements regarding the distribution of Fund shares;

• The procedures used to determine the fair value of the Fund's assets;

• The allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by the Adviser as the result of brokerage allocation; including allocations to soft dollar brokerage and allocations to firms that sell Eaton Vance fund shares;

• Eaton Vance's management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants;

• The resources devoted to Eaton Vance's compliance efforts undertaken on behalf of the funds it manages and the record of compliance with the investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions;

• Rampart's compliance efforts with respect to the accounts it manages;

• The quality, nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates and of Rampart;

• The terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the particular fee paid by the Fund for the services described therein;

• Operating expenses (including transfer agency expenses) to be paid to third parties; and

• Information to be provided to investors, including the Fund's shareholders.

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement between the Fund and Eaton Vance, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Rampart, the Special Committee reviewed material furnished by Eaton Vance and Rampart at the initial Board meeting held on December 20, 2004, including the above referenced considerations and information relating to the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who would provide services under the Advisory Agreement and under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Special Committee also took into account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Fund and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee evaluated the level of skill required to manage the Fund and concluded that the human resources available at Eaton Vance were appropriate to fulfill effectively the duties of the Adviser on behalf of the Fund. The Special Committee also considered the business reputation of the Adviser, its financial resources and professional liability insurance coverage and concluded that Eaton Vance would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Advisory Agreement. The Special Committee also considered the business reputation of Rampart and its options strategy and its past experience in implementing this strategy.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS CONT'D

The Special Committee received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment process to be applied by Eaton Vance and Rampart in managing the Fund. In this regard, the Special Committee considered Eaton Vance's in-house research capabilities as well as other resources available to Eaton Vance personnel, including research services that may be available to Eaton Vance as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients. The Special Committee concluded that Eaton Vance's and Rampart's investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund, given the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Special Committee also reviewed the level of the Adviser's profits in respect of the management of the Eaton Vance funds, including the Fund. The Special Committee considered the other profits realized by Eaton Vance and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Fund. The Special Committee also considered profit margins of Eaton Vance in comparison with available industry data. In addition, the Special Committee considered the fiduciary duty assumed by the Adviser in connection with the service rendered to the Fund and the business reputation of the Adviser, its financial resources and its professional liability insurance coverage. In evaluating the fees to be paid to Rampart, the Special Committee considered and discussed fees paid to other investment sub-advisers in similar circumstances, as well as fees charged by Rampart to other clients.

The Special Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to approve the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Nor are the items described herein all encompassing of the matters considered by the Special Committee. In assessing the information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates and Rampart, the Special Committee also took into consideration the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds which provides a large variety of shareholder services.

Based on its consideration of all factors that it deemed material and assisted by the advice of its independent counsel, the Special Committee concluded that the approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders. The Special Committee also considered that the Adviser would enter into a Shareholder Services Agreement with UBS Securities LLC, whereby the Adviser (and not the Fund) would pay UBS Securities LLC to provide upon request certain market data and reports to support shareholder services pursuant to the agreement.

The following table shows the dollar range of Fund shares beneficially owned by each portfolio manager as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end.

Portfolio Manager Dollar Range of Equity Securities Owned in the Fund
Walter A. Row $ 10,001-$50,000
Lewis R. Piantedosi None
Ronald M. Egalka $ 10,001-$50,000
David R. Fraley $ 10,001-$50,000

Potential for Conflicts of Interest. The portfolio managers manage multiple investment portfolios. Conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager's management of the Fund and his management of these other investment portfolios. Potential areas of conflict may include allocation of a portfolio manager's time, investment opportunities and trades among investment portfolios, including the Fund, personal securities transactions and use of Fund portfolio holdings information. In addition, some investment portfolios may compensate the investment adviser or sub-adviser based on the performance of the securities held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager in the allocation of management time and investment opportunities. EVM and the sub-adviser have adopted policies and procedures that they believe are reasonably designed to address these conflicts. There is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be effective or that all potential conflicts will be anticipated.

Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure

EVM

Compensation of EVM's portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) annual stock-based compensation consisting of options to purchase shares of EVC's nonvoting common stock and/or restricted shares of EVC's nonvoting common stock. EVM's investment professionals also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all EVM's employees. Compensation of EVM's investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.

Method to Determine Compensation. EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of managed funds and accounts versus appropriate peer groups or benchmarks. Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end. Fund performance is evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. In evaluating the performance of a fund and its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that are tax-managed or otherwise have an objective of after-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other funds, performance is evaluated on a pre-tax basis. In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to risk-adjusted performance. For funds with an investment objective other than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the fund's success in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance.

The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) will include consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the managers' performance in meeting them.

EVM seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is

based on a substantially fixed percentage of pre-bonus operating income. While the salaries of EVM's portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.

Rampart

The identified Rampart portfolio managers are founding shareholders of Rampart. The compensation of the portfolio managers has two primary components: (1) a base salary, and (2) an annual cash bonus. There are also certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all Rampart employees. Compensation of Rampart investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the June 30 fiscal year-end of Rampart.

Rampart compensates its founding shareholders, including the identified portfolio managers, based primarily on the scale and complexity of their responsibilities. The performance of portfolio managers is evaluated primarily based on success in achieving portfolio objectives for managed funds and accounts. Rampart seeks to compensate all portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. This is reflected in the founding shareholders/identified portfolio managers' salaries.

Salaries and profit participations are also influenced by the operating performance of Rampart. While the salaries of Rampart's founding shareholders/identified portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, profit participations may fluctuate substantially from year to year, based on changes in financial performance.

*(a) –(d)*

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the registrant’s initial fiscal period from January 31, 2005 until December 31, 2005 by the Fund’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and fees billed for other services rendered by the principal accountant during such period.

Fiscal Years Ended 12/31/05

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (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 the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.

(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The following table presents (i) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed to the registrant by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant’s initial fiscal period ended December 31, 2005; and (ii) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the Eaton Vance organization for the registrant’s principal accountant for the same time periods.

Fiscal Years Ended 12/31/05
Registrant $ 30,750
Eaton Vance(1) $ 179,500

(1) Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., acts as the registrant’s investment adviser and administrator.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

*Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed registrants*

The registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Norton H.

*Item 6. Schedule of Investments*

Please see schedule of investments contained in the Report to Stockholders included under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

*Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies*

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.

The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. The investment adviser will generally support company management on proposals relating to environmental and social policy issues, on matters regarding the state of organization of the company and routine matters related to corporate administration which are not expected to have a significant economic impact on the company or its shareholders. On all other matters, the investment adviser will review each matter on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to deviate from the Policies’ guidelines when it believes the situation warrants such a deviation. The Policies include voting guidelines for matters relating to, among other things, the election of directors, approval of independent auditors, executive compensation, corporate structure and anti-takeover defenses. The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote.

In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to members of senior management of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. Such members of senior management will determine if a conflict exists. If a conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.

Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Potential for Conflicts of Interest . The portfolio managers manage multiple investment portfolios. Conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the Fund and his management of these other investment portfolios. Potential areas of conflict may include allocation of a portfolio manager’s time, investment opportunities and trades among investment portfolios, including the Fund, personal securities transactions and use of Fund portfolio holdings information. In addition, some investment portfolios may compensate the investment adviser or sub-adviser based on the performance of the securities held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager in the allocation of management time and investment opportunities. EVM and the sub-adviser have adopted policies and procedures that they believe are reasonably designed to address these conflicts. There is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be effective or that all potential conflicts will be anticipated.

*Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure*

*EVM*

Compensation of EVM’s portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) annual stock-based compensation consisting of options to purchase shares of EVC’s nonvoting common stock and/or restricted shares of EVC’s nonvoting common stock. EVM’s investment professionals also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all EVM’s employees. Compensation of EVM’s investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.

Method to Determine Compensation . EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of managed funds and accounts versus appropriate peer groups or benchmarks. Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end. Fund performance is evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. In evaluating the performance of a fund and its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that are tax-managed or otherwise have an objective of after-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other funds, performance is evaluated on a pre-tax basis. In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to risk-adjusted performance. For funds with an investment objective other than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the fund’s success in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance.

The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) will include consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the managers’ performance in meeting them.

EVM seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is based on a substantially fixed percentage of pre-bonus operating income. While the salaries of EVM’s portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.

*Rampart*

The identified Rampart portfolio managers are founding shareholders of Rampart. The compensation of the portfolio managers has two primary components: (1) a base salary, and (2) an annual cash bonus. There are also certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all Rampart employees. Compensation of Rampart investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the June 30 fiscal year-end of Rampart.

Rampart compensates its founding shareholders, including the identified portfolio managers, based primarily on the scale and complexity of their responsibilities. The performance of portfolio managers is evaluated primarily based on success in achieving portfolio objectives for managed funds and accounts. Rampart seeks to compensate all portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. This is reflected in the founding shareholders/identified portfolio managers’ salaries.

Salaries and profit participations are also influenced by the operating performance of Rampart. While the salaries of Rampart’s founding shareholders/identified portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, profit participations may fluctuate substantially from year to year, based on changes in financial performance.
