Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
U.S. stocks led the way with double-digit gains in the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018, while global stocks delivered mixed results.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the upswing, as investors anticipated and then cheered passage of the Republican tax reform package in December 2017. Sharp cuts in corporate taxes, a key element of the bill, raised corporate-profit expectations. Stocks also got a boost from positive U.S. economic data, including the unemployment rate which fell to a 17-year low.
Stocks pulled back in February 2018 amid fears that rising rates would spur inflation and boost the appeal of fixed-income investments at the expense of stocks. After a brief rebound, equity markets weakened in the spring of 2018, as investors confronted the prospect of a global trade war due to President Trump’s imposition of broad new tariffs. The tariffs drew retaliatory action from impacted countries including China, Canada, and certain countries in the European Union.
Stocks bounced back in the final three months of the period. Technology stocks led the advance, overcoming an earlier setback from a wave of data-privacy scandals. U.S. economic indicators remained largely positive throughout the period, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rate three times over the 12-month span.
Overseas equity markets delivered mixed results in the period. After early strength aided by rising corporate profits, European stocks subsequently pulled back amid mounting trade war concerns, before a partial recovery in the final months of the period. Similarly, after early gains, China entered a prolonged stock slump that reached bear market territory in late June 2018. Besides trade war fears, signs of slowing economic growth also weighed on Chinese stocks.
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018, all major U.S. stock indexes recorded double-digit gains. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 advanced 20.76%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, rose 17.91%. The technology-laden NASDAQ Composite Index surged 25.17% in the period. Large-cap U.S. stocks as measured by the S&P 500® Index generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts as measured by the Russell 2000® Index during the period. Growth stocks as a group outpaced value stocks in both the large- and small-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018, Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) had a total return of 18.55% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), outperforming the Russell 2000® Index (the Index), which returned 15.24%.
Â
Stock selection ─ particularly in the health care, information technology, and real estate sectors ─ contributed most to outperformance relative to the Index during the period. An overweight in information technology, one of the strongest performing sectors, was also a positive contributor. In general, sector allocation detracted from performance relative to the Index, particularly as a result of the Fund’s underweight position in health care, in which returns were the most robust overall. Stock selection in the industrials and energy sectors was also a detractor.
Three of the top five performers were in the health care sector, including Amedisys, Inc., the leading contributor overall. Other top health care contributors included ICU Medical, Inc. and Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Altair Engineering, Inc. and RealPage, Inc., both software companies in information technology, were also among top contributors.
Amedisys, Inc., a provider of home health and hospice care services, outperformed health care service companies in the Index with accelerating growth, improved government reimbursements, and technology-led margin expansion.
Altair Engineering, Inc., a supplier of simulation software, saw its stock price appreciate strongly following a 2017 initial public offering. The company consistently reported results surpassing consensus expectations and its valuation rose closer to those of its public peers.
RealPage, Inc., a leader in multifamily real estate management software, performed well on strong organic growth and attractive acquisitions.
Three of the largest detractors were in industrials, including WageWorks, Inc., Multi-Color Corp., and Deluxe Corp.
WageWorks, Inc., a leading provider of consumer-directed benefits for corporations, detracted most. The employee benefits plan provider lagged peer performance in the industrials sector as the company delayed its Securities and Exchange Commission filings and changed its senior management team. The security was sold during the period.
Multi-Color Corp., a global label maker for consumer products in the industrials sector, also weighed on returns as a result of market pressures following a large acquisition and mixed operating results.
Deluxe Corp., a marketing company specializing in small businesses and financial institutions, detracted as a result of disappointing organic growth and the unexpected retirement of its longstanding CEO.

Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,119.50 | $6.80 | 1.28% |
Class C | $1,000.00 | $1,115.40 | $10.77 | 2.03% |

 |  |  |  |  |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2018. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. The Fund previously offered Class Y shares. At the close of business on December 8, 2017, Class Y shares were converted to Class I shares. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might
Â
www.calvert.com CALVERT SMALL-CAP FUND ANNUAL REPORT 17
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1)Â None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund. |
(2)Â The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended September 30, 2018 is not presented.
B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
E. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. 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.
Â
18 www.calvert.com CALVERT SMALL-CAP FUND ANNUAL REPORT
H. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.68% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the investment advisory fee amounted to $2,437,803.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.29%, 2.04% and 0.92% for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, and prior to the close of business on December 8, 2017, 1.12% for Class Y, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2018, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $202,460.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I (and Class Y prior to the close of business on December 8, 2017) and is payable monthly. CRM contractually waived 0.02% of the administrative fee through January 31, 2018 for Class I. For the year ended September 30, 2018, CRM was paid administrative fees of $430,005 of which $8,567 were waived.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $365,380 and $174,734 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $40,151 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2018. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $1,268 of contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSC paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2018, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $67,909 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $52,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended

September 30, 2018, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $7,339, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $255,899,293 and $176,867,510, respectively.
NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
 | Year Ended September 30, |
 | 2018 | 2017 |
Ordinary income |
| $19,113,210 |
|
| $70,704 |
|
Long-term capital gains |
| $21,552,833 |
|
| $4,566,810 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2018, distributable earnings was decreased by $2,244,835 and paid-in capital was increased by $2,244,835 primarily due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2018, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $7,929,253 |
|
Undistributed long-term capital gains |
| $11,447,862 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $70,146,601 |
|
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2018, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
|
| | | |
Aggregate cost |
| $358,614,457 |
|
Gross unrealized appreciation |
| $78,484,202 |
|
Gross unrealized depreciation | (8,337,601) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| $70,146,601 |
|
NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSB. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2018, the total value of securities on loan was $20,790,571 and the total value of collateral received was $21,024,386, comprised of cash of $1,398,450 and U.S. Government and/or agencies securities of $19,625,936.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2018 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2018.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $62.5 million committed ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted prior to August 7, 2018) unsecured line of credit agreement with SSB, which is in effect through August 6, 2019. Borrowings may be made for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.00% (1.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% (0.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the renewal of the facility in August 2018. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2018. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2018.
NOTE 7 — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets designated for high social impact investments in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC), formerly the Calvert Social Investment Foundation, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in 1998 (the Exemptive Order). The Fund obtained the Exemptive Order because at that time there was a significant overlap of Fund Board members and CIC Board members as well as certain other affiliations between CIC and affiliates of the Fund’s investment adviser. CIC may be considered an affiliated person of the Fund based on the overlap between CIC’s Board of Directors and the Calvert funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. CIC has licensed use of the Calvert name from CRM, and currently two Fund Board members (one of whom is CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer), two members of the Advisory Council to the Calvert Fund Board of Directors/Trustees, and an additional CRM officer serve on CIC’s Board. CIC is not owned or otherwise controlled by CRM or its affiliates. The Fund intends to request a new exemptive order from the SEC to permit additional investment in CIC notes.
At September 30, 2018, the value of the Fund’s investment in the Notes was $1,349,123, which represents 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in the Notes by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Calvert Funds since 2002.

| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us.

This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (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. Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of 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 Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 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).

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. Each Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
Led by higher U.S. stocks, most global stock indexes advanced during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018.
U.S. stocks opened the period on the upswing as investors anticipated, and then cheered passage of the Republican tax reform package in December 2017. Sharp cuts in corporate taxes - a key element of the bill - raised corporate-profit expectations. Stocks also got a boost from positive U.S. economic data, including the unemployment rate, which fell to a 17-year low.
Early in the period, global stocks followed U.S. stocks sharply higher. European stocks got a boost from growing economies and rising corporate profits across the region. Key equity indexes in the Asia-Pacific region also rose despite tensions with North Korea. China’s stock market advanced behind an accelerating housing market, rising retail sales, and strong foreign trade.
U.S. stocks pulled back in February 2018 amid fears that rising rates would spur inflation and boost the appeal of fixed-income investments at the expense of stocks. After a brief rebound, equity markets weakened in the spring of 2018, as investors confronted the prospect of a global trade war due to President Trump’s imposition of broad new tariffs. The protectionist move drew retaliatory action from impacted countries including China, Canada, and certain countries in the European Union.
European stocks also pulled back even more substantially amid mounting trade war concerns, before a partial recovery in the final months of the period. In China, signs of a slowing economy compounded trade war concerns, sending Chinese stocks into a prolonged slump that reached bear market territory in late June 2018.
U.S. stocks bounced back strongly in the final three months of the period. Technology stocks led the advance, overcoming an earlier setback from a wave of data-privacy scandals. U.S. economic indicators remained largely positive throughout the period, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rate three times over the 12-month span.
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018, the MSCI World Index,2 a proxy for global equities, advanced 11.24%. The MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities rose 2.74%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined fractionally. In the U.S., the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average® advanced 20.76%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, gained 17.91%.
Fund Performance - Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (the Fund) had a total return of -2.73% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index, which returned 9.77%. The Fund also underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert Global Energy Research Index (the Calvert Energy Index), which returned -1.56%.
Â
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Energy Index does not incur.
While the Fund’s holdings in renewable-energy power producers were able to keep up with the broader market, holdings in energy efficiency, energy technology, and energy-efficient leader/solution provider categories detracted from the Fund’s overall performance.
The Fund’s large investment footprint in foreign stocks ─ 71.6% of the portfolio as of the end of the period ─ was a detractor as the U.S. market significantly outperformed global markets for the year. The Fund’s overweights in Asian and Western European markets were particularly detrimental.
Two leading contributors during the period ─ Renewable Energy Group, Inc. and Sunrun, Inc. ─ benefited from falling solar prices, which enhanced profit margins. The stock of Renewable Energy Group, Inc., a manufacturer of plant-based biodiesel, rose more than 137% during the year. The stock of Sunrun, Inc., an installer of solar-based energy systems and storage, rose more than 100%.
Although the Fund’s holdings in energy efficiency lagged overall, several holdings in the sector performed well, including Microsoft Corp., Metsä Board Oyj (Finland), and Croda International plc (U.K.), each of which rose more than 30%.
A combination of steep price declines in solar panels and the U.S.’s January 2018 announcement that it would levy 30% tariffs on solar panels entering the country placed significant pressure on the margins for non-U.S. manufacturers. While tariffs helped U.S.-based manufacturer SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., the Fund had higher exposure to international manufacturers, including JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. ADR (China).
The Fund’s exposure to electric vehicles also hampered Fund performance. Tesla, Inc. experienced a significant decline stemming from a combination of manufacturing issues and securities fraud charges brought against Tesla, Inc.’s CEO, Elon Musk, by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Another detractor, FDG Electric Vehicles Ltd, a Hong Kong manufacturer of electric vehicles and batteries, suffered a significant drop in the price of its shares after it announced it was increasing the number of its outstanding shares by 25%. FDG Electric Vehicles Ltd. was sold during the period.
Utilitywise plc (U.K.) and Tanaka Chemical Corp. (Japan) were among the most significant detractors from returns. Utilitywise plc, an energy management services company, saw a steep decline as sales and earnings markedly decreased. Tanaka Chemical Corp., a manufacturer of chemicals for batteries, had a very strong 2017 before pulling back this year. Utiltywise plc was sold during the period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE - continued Fund Performance - Calvert Global Water Fund
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, Calvert Global Water Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned 1.34%, underperforming the primary benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index (the Index), which returned 9.77%. The Fund also underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Calvert Global Water Research Index (the Calvert Water Index), which returned 2.96%.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its secondary benchmark was due to Fund expenses and fees, which the Calvert Water Index does not incur.
An overweight position in water utilities and stock selection within the water technology and infrastructure sectors were the largest contributors to underperformance relative to the Index. Stock selection among solutions providers in Asia also detracted, whereas stock selection among solutions providers in Europe contributed.
While the utilities sector did well in the U.S., utilities in Europe and emerging markets, which made up approximately 10% of the Fund, were weighed down by slow growth and currency weakness relative to the U.S. dollar. Brazilian utilities especially struggled because of slow revenue growth, as well as currency impacts.
Within the water infrastructure sector, about half of the negative impact came from European holdings, including Uponor Oyj (Finland) and Arcadis NV (the Netherlands). The Fund’s bias toward small- and mid-cap stocks relative to the Index was a significant detractor. Another significant detractor was the Fund’s lack of exposure to Amazon, Inc. and Apple, Inc. stocks, which are large constituents of the Index, but not usually held in water equity funds or indexes.
EnerCare, Inc. was a major contributor to performance. It rose 44% during the period as shareholders approved its acquisition by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.
Tetra Tech, Inc., a California-based consulting and engineering services firm, further contributed as its stock rose nearly 48% on strong growth and financial performance during the period.
Croda International plc (U.K.) and Metsä Board Oyj (Finland) were leading contributors among solutions providers in Europe.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.calvert.com.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (Global Energy Solutions) and Calvert Global Water Fund (Global Water) (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) are diversified series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of Global Energy Solutions is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Energy Research Index. Global Energy Solutions primarily invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is sustainable energy solutions or that are significantly involved in the sustainable energy solutions industry. The investment objective of Global Water is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Water Research Index. Global Water invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is in the water industry or that are significantly involved in water-related services or technologies.
Each Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each Fund previously offered Class Y shares. At the close of business on December 8, 2017, Class Y shares were converted to Class I shares. Each class represents a pro rata interest in each Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
Each Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Funds use independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value their investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. 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 Funds’ Board has 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. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated
Â
34 www.calvert.com CALVERT GLOBAL ENERGY SOLUTIONS AND GLOBAL WATER FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Funds’ adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following tables summarize the market value of each of the Funds’ holdings as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, Global Water has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements for such outstanding reclaims. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions: The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E. Restricted Securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
F. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are
Â
36 www.calvert.com CALVERT GLOBAL ENERGY SOLUTIONS AND GLOBAL WATER FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
G. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, each Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the respective Funds’ change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in the respective Funds’ net realized gain (loss) on investments.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

For the year ended September 30, 2018, CRM was paid administrative fees of $104,038 and $544,313 for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water, respectively.
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, each Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2018, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water incurred to EVM amounted to $50,484 and $96,023, respectively, and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Each Director of the Funds who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $52,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Funds or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Funds purchase shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Funds’ assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Funds who are employees of CRM or their affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2018, Global Energy Solutions’ and Global Water’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $1,786 and $9,481, respectively, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

At September 30, 2018, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had the following capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which would reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred.
The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards, whose character is short-term, and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

Under tax regulations, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 2010 can be carried forward to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. These losses are required to be used prior to capital loss carryforwards, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Funds at September 30, 2018, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Funds at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Funds require that the loan be continuously collateralized by
Â
www.calvert.com CALVERT GLOBAL ENERGY SOLUTIONS AND GLOBAL WATER FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT 39
either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the respective Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSB. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Funds. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the respective Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the respective Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the respective Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in each of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2018, the total value of securities on loan and the total value of collateral received were as follows:

The carrying amounts of the liabilities for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2018 approximated their fair value. If measured at fair value, such liabilities would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2018.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Funds participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $62.5 million committed ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted prior to August 7, 2018) unsecured line of credit agreement with SSB, which is in effect through August 6, 2019. Borrowings may be made for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.00% (1.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% (0.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the renewal of the facility in August 2018. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2018, Global Energy Solutions and Global Water had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $23,970 and $55,175, respectively, at an interest rate of 3.26% and 3.26%, respectively. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2018. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2018. The Funds average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2018 were not significant.

NOTE 7 — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Funds have invested a portion of their assets designated for high social impact investments in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC), formerly the Calvert Social Investment Foundation, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in 1998 (the Exemptive Order). The Funds obtained the Exemptive Order because at that time there was a significant overlap of Fund Board members and CIC Board members as well as certain other affiliations between CIC and affiliates of the Funds’ investment adviser. CIC may be considered an affiliated person of the Funds based on the overlap between CIC’s Board of Directors and the Calvert funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. CIC has licensed use of the Calvert name from CRM, and currently two Fund Board members (one of whom is CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer), two members of the Advisory Council to the Calvert Fund Board of Directors/Trustees, and an additional CRM officer serve on CIC’s Board. CIC is not owned or otherwise controlled by CRM or its affiliates. The Funds intend to request a new exemptive order from the SEC to permit additional investment in CIC notes.
At September 30, 2018, the value of the investment in the Notes for Global Energy Solutions was $1,732,230, which represents 2.1% of its net assets and for Global Water was $962,350, which represents 0.2% of its net assets. Transactions in the Notes by each Fund for the year ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

NOTE 9 — RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
Investing in foreign securities involves additional risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad. Other risks result from differences between regulations that apply to U.S. and foreign issuers and markets, and the potential for foreign markets to be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
The risks of investing in emerging market securities are greater than those of investing in securities of developed foreign countries. These risks include volatile currency exchange rates, periods of high inflation, increased risk of default, greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability, less governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets, weaker auditing and financial reporting standards, lack of liquidity in the markets, and the significantly smaller market capitalization of emerging market issuers.
NOTE 10 — CONCENTRATION RISK
Global Energy Solutions concentrates its investments in the sustainable energy solutions industry. This industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. The industry can also be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects and tax and other government regulations and policies. Companies in this industry could be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations.
Â

Global Water concentrates its investments in the water industry. This industry can be significantly affected by economic trends or other conditions or developments, such as the availability of water, the level of rainfall and occurrence of other climatic events, changes in water consumption, new technologies relating to the supply of water, and water conservation. The industry can also be significantly affected by environmental considerations, taxation, government regulation (including the increased cost of compliance), inflation, increases in interest rates, price and supply fluctuations, increases in the cost of raw materials and other operating costs, technological advances, and competition from new market entrants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund (collectively, the Funds), each a series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of September 30, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018, by correspondence with custodians. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Calvert Funds since 2002.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (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. Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of 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 Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 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).

The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund and its adviser have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser is subject to CFTC regulation. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE1 Economic and Market Conditions
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018, U.S. investment-grade, fixed-income securities declined, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2 returning -1.22%. In comparison, high-yield credits showed strength with the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index rising 2.94% during the period.
Although geopolitical tensions involving North Korea rattled markets early in the period, accommodative central banks, strong corporate earnings, and global growth muffled the impact of these potential sources of volatility. However, as the year progressed, the growing threat of an international trade war and mounting uncertainties about the course of Brexit raised market worries. Signs of decelerating growth outside the U.S. ─ as well as concerns about rising inflation and interest rates inside the U.S. ─ led to an uptick in volatility.
U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth accelerated through most of the period, reaching a quarterly annualized rate of 4.2% in the second quarter of 2018, the highest level in four years. Corporate earnings and balance sheets also steadily strengthened and the unemployment rate fell to 3.9% during the period from 4.2% at the start of the period. Wages, which had remained stagnant even as the jobless rate fell, began to rise in the latter stages of the period. Inflation increased modestly with the personal consumption expenditures index rising to nearly 2%, mirroring the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) target level.
As the U.S. economy showed signs of building strength, the Fed raised the federal funds rate four times during the period and projected another rate hike before the end of 2018 as well as three more potential increases in 2019.
Outside the U.S., growth in major economies in the eurozone and China slowed during the period. Eurozone countries shifted away from monetary-easing policies while the Central Bank of China cut interest rates. Both actions contributed to a stronger U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan curtailed the easing policies it had pursued since the 2008 financial crisis.
As the Fed adhered to its tightening course, spreads between the yields of issues of longer- and shorter-term maturities ─ already unusually narrow at the beginning of the period ─ converged, further flattening the yield curve. Early in the calendar year, a major U.S. tax cut supported a surge in Treasury bill issuances and large-scale corporate cash repatriation, putting pressure on short-term interest rates.
Later in the period, a strong supply of issuances from merger-and-acquisition transactions ─ in addition to concerns about increased leverage and weakening fundamentals in the latter stages of the credit cycle ─ contributed to widening spreads.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, Calvert Green Bond Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned -0.80%. The Fund underperformed its new primary
Â
benchmark (as of July 12, 2018), the ICE BofAML Green Bond Index-Hedged USD (the Index), which returned 1.48%.
As short-term rates rose during the period, the Fund’s duration, which exceeded the Index, detracted. Duration is a measure of the expected change in the price of a bond - in percentage terms - given a one-percent change in interest rates, all else being constant. Securities with lower durations tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes.
In the most recent quarter, the Fund outperformed the Index. In the first fiscal quarter, the returns of U.S. fixed-income securities were generally solid amid low volatility and a healthy global economy. Allocations to investment-grade bonds and fixed-income securities contributed to Fund performance versus the Index during the period.
As volatility returned in the new calendar year, allocations to these securities began to detract following the widening of yield spreads among issues of different credit qualities. Allocations to supranational, municipal, clean-energy, asset-backed securities and green corporate bonds ─ particularly in banking ─ contributed positively to performance relative to the Index.
In the final quarter, a large overweight to U.S. dollar-denominated securities with durations that exceeded the average duration of the Index was the primary detractor from performance relative to the Index.
Overweights to asset-backed securities and high-yield investments were positive contributors during the period. Security selection within the manufacturing sector was also a positive contributor relative to the Index. Following a strong late period surge, green bond issuances in 2017 reached $119 billion. As of period end, green bond issuances in 2018 were on pace to reach $160 billion, although Fund management projected a slowdown in growth.
During the period, the Fund sought to enhance diversification6 by increasing exposure to new issuers. The Fund sought attractive investment opportunities within and beyond the green bond universe in line with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment and the Fund’s green investment criteria.
At period end, while the Fed had projected a tightening fiscal course to offset the prospect of modest inflation, no one knew whether, when, or how much interest rates would increase. Other areas of uncertainty included how trade tensions with China would play out, the impact of U.S. midterm elections, the looming Brexit deadline, the fiscal policy of Italy’s new government, and the imbalances facing several emerging economies.
Given that environment, the Fund was conservatively positioned at period end, including a slightly shorter-than-Index duration. The Fund maintained an overweight to short-duration, investment grade fixed-income securities and asset-backed securities at period end. Fund management believed that the rapid growth in BBB-rated7 bonds during the period warranted some caution. In this and other sectors, the Fund continued to emphasize bottom-up security selection.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of domestic investment-grade bonds, including corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities. Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity between one and three months. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. |

7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management.
Important Notice to Shareholders
Effective July 12, 2018, the Fund’s primary benchmark has been changed to the ICE BofAML Green Bond Index - Hedged USD because it was deemed by the portfolio managers to be a more appropriate benchmark for the Fund.

FUND EXPENSES
Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018).
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Actual | Â | Â | Â | Â |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,001.80 | $4.27** | 0.85% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,003.10 | $2.51** | 0.50% |

Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,022.56 | $2.54** | 0.50% |
 |  |  |  |  |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on March 31, 2018. |
** Absent a waiver and/or reimbursement of expenses by an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

Calvert Green Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, primarily through investments in bonds. The Fund invests primarily in “green” investments which include those issued by companies that develop or provide products or services that seek to provide environmental solutions or that support environmental projects, among others.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.80% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. The Fund previously offered Class Y shares. At the close of business on December 8, 2017, Class Y shares were converted to Class I shares. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A. Investment Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Fund’s adviser, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information
Â

obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s holdings as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

B. Investment Transactions and Income: Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.
C. Share Class Accounting: Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income, and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E. Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange, and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund.
F. Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt
www.calvert.com CALVERT GREEN BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT 19
from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
G. Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
H. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I. Indemnifications: The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. 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.
J. Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
NOTE 2 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CRM receives a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the investment advisory fee amounted to $368,126.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.85% and 0.50% for Class A and Class I, respectively, and prior to the close of business on December 8, 2017, 0.63% for Class Y, of such class’ average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after January 31, 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2018, CRM waived or reimbursed expenses of $239,673.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I (and Class Y prior to the close of business on December 8, 2017) and is payable monthly. CRM contractually waived 0.02% of the administrative fee through January 31, 2018 for Class I. For the year ended September 30, 2018, CRM was paid administrative fees of $147,123, of which $2,794 were waived.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $101,895 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $17,721 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2018.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2018, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $24,360 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives a fee of $3,000 for each Board meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended by phone plus an annual fee of $52,000, and $1,500 for each Committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Committee meeting attended by phone plus an annual Committee fee
Â
20 www.calvert.com CALVERT GREEN BOND FUND ANNUAL REPORT
of $2,500. The Board chair receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer and Committee chairs receive an additional $6,000 annual retainer. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund’s assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM. In addition, an advisory council was established to aid the Board and CRM in advancing the cause of responsible investing through original scholarship and thought leadership. The advisory council consists of CRM’s Chief Executive Officer and four additional members. Each member (other than CRM’s Chief Executive Officer) receives annual compensation of $75,000, which is being reimbursed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (CIM), the Calvert funds’ former investment adviser and Ameritas Holding Company, CIM’s parent company, through the end of 2019. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund’s allocated portion of such expense and reimbursement was $2,455, which are included in miscellaneous expense and reimbursement of expenses-other, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities, and including paydowns, were $74,005,223 and $18,341,007, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns, were $6,130,743 and $212,583, respectively.
NOTE 4 — DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
 | Year Ended September 30, |
 | 2018 | 2017 |
Ordinary income |
| $2,723,930 |
|
| $1,875,004 |
|
Long-term capital gains |
| $502,359 |
|
| $327,621 |
|
During the year ended September 30, 2018, accumulated loss was increased by $53,553 and paid-in capital was increased by $53,553 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2018, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Undistributed ordinary income |
| $32,642 |
|
Deferred capital losses |
| ($7,271 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| ($2,948,762 | ) |
At September 30, 2018, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $7,271 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2018, $7,271 are short-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at September 30, 2018, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
|
| | | |
Aggregate cost |
| $156,271,983 |
|
Gross unrealized appreciation |
| $57,524 |
|
Gross unrealized depreciation | (3,007,017) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
| ($2,949,493 | ) |

The average notional cost of futures contracts (long) and futures contracts (short) outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $422,000 and $1,660,000, respectively.
NOTE 6 — SECURITIES LENDING
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value of the international securities loaned (if applicable). The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSB. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2018, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $47,053 and the total value of collateral received was $48,000, comprised of cash.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2018.

The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2018 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2018.

NOTE 7 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by CRM in a $62.5 million committed ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted prior to August 7, 2018) unsecured line of credit agreement with SSB, which is in effect through August 6, 2019. Borrowings may be made for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings bear interest at the higher of the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect that day or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus 1.00% (1.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum. A commitment fee of 0.20% (0.25% prior to August 7, 2018) per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility. An administrative fee of $37,500 was incurred in connection with the renewal of the facility in August 2018. These fees are allocated to all participating funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2018. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2018.
NOTE 8 — AFFILIATED COMPANIES
The Fund has invested a portion of its assets designated for high social impact investments in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC), formerly the Calvert Social Investment Foundation, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in 1998 (the Exemptive Order). The Fund obtained the Exemptive Order because at that time there was a significant overlap of Fund Board members and CIC Board members as well as certain other affiliations between CIC and affiliates of the Fund’s investment adviser. CIC may be considered an affiliated person of the Fund based on the overlap between CIC’s Board of Directors and the Calvert funds’ Directors/Trustees and other potential affiliations. CIC has licensed use of the Calvert name from CRM, and currently two Fund Board members (one of whom is CRM’s President and Chief Executive Officer), two members of the Advisory Council to the Calvert Fund Board of Directors/Trustees, and an additional CRM officer serve on CIC’s Board. CIC is not owned or otherwise controlled by CRM or its affiliates. The Fund intends to request a new exemptive order from the SEC to permit additional investment in CIC notes.
At September 30, 2018, the value of the Fund’s investment in the Notes was $144,353, which represents 0.09% of the Fund’s net assets. Transactions in the Notes by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert Green Bond Fund (the Fund), a series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two‑year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five‑year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Calvert Funds since 2002.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Calvert Funds and Calvert Research and Management are committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| |
• | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Calvert fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
| |
• | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Calvert Research and Management may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
| |
• | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
| |
• | The Funds reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review the Funds’ Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.calvert.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities: the Calvert Family of Funds, Calvert Research and Management and their affiliated service providers, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Calvert customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Calvert’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-368-2745.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (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. Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Calvert funds, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Calvert fund documents not be householded, please contact Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Calvert fund documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by Calvert funds or your financial advisor. Separate statements will be generated for each separate account and will be householded as described above.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Calvert fund will file a schedule of 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 Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com, by calling Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745 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. The Proxy Voting Guidelines that each Calvert fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Calvert funds at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how a Calvert fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by calling Calvert funds, by visiting the Calvert funds’ website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors.

In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance.
