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 has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
During the first three months of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, interest rates remained near historic lows, driven by highly accommodative monetary policies instituted by central banks around the world. As it had since December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued to purchase $45 billion of U.S. Treasurys and $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities each month. These actions combined to put downward pressure on long-term bond yields, driving investors to look for other sources of income. One beneficiary was the municipal bond market, which rallied during the first three months of the period in response to strong investor demand.
In late May 2013, however, then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke surprised the markets by indicating that the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly asset purchases, known collectively as quantitative easing (QE), could be tapered sooner than most investors had expected. The negative effect on the bond market was swift and dramatic. Investors rushed to sell fixed-income assets in anticipation of rising interest rates, causing nearly every fixed-income asset class to decline in value.
Outflows had a particularly significant effect on the municipal bond market because, unlike other domestic fixed-income asset classes, the municipal market is primarily retail-based and is generally impacted more by the actions of small individual investors than other fixed-income asset classes. Even after the Fed tried to temper its comments and calm the markets, moderating the outflows in other fixed-income asset classes, heavy selling in municipals continued through August 2013, causing a significant increase in municipal bond yields.
The selling abated somewhat in September 2013, after the Fed surprised the markets again by postponing its tapering of QE that many investors had thought was imminent. And while the municipal market continued to experience net outflows through December 2013, the Fed’s mid-December announcement that tapering of QE would actually begin in January 2014 had only a muted effect on municipal yields. Investors appeared relieved that the tapering would be gradual and that the Fed still intended to keep the fed funds rate near zero for an extended period.
The first month of 2014 saw further good news for bond investors. Equities declined as a result of turmoil in emerging markets and weak U.S. economic numbers, particularly a disappointing December jobs report. Falling equities prompted a “flight to quality” that drove a January rally in Treasurys. Municipal issues rallied more, as municipal performance was amplified by factors that historically have tended to help municipal performance in January: strong demand driven by reinvestment of principal and coupon payments in the face of seasonally light supply. This created a favorable supply-demand imbalance that helped drive up prices.
During the one-year period, additional pressure on the municipal market came from the City of Detroit’s bankruptcy filing on July 18, 2013 and heightened attention to Puerto
Rico’s fiscal woes. Although Detroit’s fiscal problems have been well-documented for years and its bankruptcy should not have come as a surprise, the headlines associated with the filing injected additional fear into the municipal bond market. That fear, combined with Puerto Rico’s well-publicized fiscal challenges, drove both institutional and retail investors to sell Puerto Rico bonds, exerting additional downward pressure on the market value of the bonds in late August and September 2013. Prices of Puerto Rico bonds remained at depressed levels through the end of the period on January 31, 2014.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2014, Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) had a total return of -3.75%, underperforming the -1.07% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index2 (the Index) and outperforming the -6.09% return of the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Barclays High Yield Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index.
Leveraged6 investments detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the period. Management purchases leveraged investments in seeking to enhance the Fund’s tax-exempt income. The use of leveraged investments has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market, magnifying the Fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. During this period of negative performance by municipal bonds, leveraged investments hurt Fund results relative to the unleveraged Index.
An overweight and security selection in zero-coupon bonds, which were the worst-performing coupon structure during the period, detracted from Fund results versus the Index as well.
The Fund primarily invests in high-yield bonds — defined as securities rated BBB7 or below — whereas the primary Index, reflecting the broad municipal market, had a significantly smaller weight in below-investment-grade issues throughout the fiscal year. During a period when lower credit quality bonds underperformed higher-grade issues, the Fund’s overweight in bonds rated BBB and below hurt performance versus the Index. However, relative to the Barclays High Yield Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index, management maintained a significant underweight in issues rated BBB and below, and that relative underweight was the primary factor in the Fund’s outperformance versus its high-yield benchmark.
Relative to the Index, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index during the period included security selection in BBB and nonrated bonds, an underweight in Puerto Rico municipal issues, and security selection in the housing as well as water and sewer sectors.

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 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.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays High Yield Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of high-yield municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities of 22 years or more. 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 prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. In the performance table, the performance of Class I is linked to Class A. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be composed of ordinary income, tax-exempt income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. |
7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. 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 Standard and Poor’s or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating 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. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national rating agencies stated above. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

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 (August 1, 2013 – January 31, 2014).
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 your 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.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund primarily invests in high yield municipal obligations with maturities of ten years or more. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund 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 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 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.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At January 31, 2014, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $189,417,446 and deferred capital losses of $58,675,665 which will reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will 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 capital loss carryforward will expire on January 31, 2016 ($14,863,328), January 31, 2017 ($49,195,524), January 31, 2018 ($115,791,581) and January 31, 2019 ($9,567,013) and its character is short-term. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, retaining the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred, and are treated as realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2014, $7,867,178 are short-term and $50,808,487 are long-term.
As of January 31, 2014, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Fund may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby the Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Fund accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in its Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at January 31, 2014. Interest expense related to the Fund’s liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At January 31, 2014, the amount of the Fund’s Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the related collateral were $84,225,000 and $135,040,110, respectively. The range of interest rates on the Floating Rate Notes outstanding at January 31, 2014 was 0.04% to 0.09%. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Fund’s average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were $93,055,707 and 0.70%, respectively.
The Fund may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which the Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Fund had no shortfalls as of January 31, 2014.
The Fund may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Fund’s investment policies do not allow the Fund to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Fund’s restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Fund’s Statement of Assets

and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Fund’s restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
On December 10, 2013, five U.S. federal agencies published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limits such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, covered funds, as defined in the rules. The compliance date for the Volcker Rule is July 21, 2015. The
Volcker Rule may preclude banking entities and their affiliates from (i) sponsoring residual interest bond programs (as such programs are presently structured) and (ii) continuing relationships with or services for existing residual interest bond programs. As a result, residual interest bond trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. There can be no assurances that residual interest bond trusts can be restructured, that new sponsors of residual interest bond programs will develop, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund. The effects of the Volcker Rule may make it more difficult for the Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
J Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
L Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Fund is the amount included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the unrestricted cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Distributions declared from: | ||||||||
Tax-exempt income | $ | 32,370,779 | $ | 33,462,523 | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 991,419 | $ | 779,033 |
During the year ended January 31, 2014, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $6,852,653, accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $375,147 and paid-in capital was decreased by $6,477,506 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount, defaulted bond interest and expenditures on defaulted bonds. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of January 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $ | 2,789,623 | ||
Capital loss carryforward and deferred capital losses | $ | (248,093,111 | ) | |
Net unrealized depreciation | $ | (3,114,787 | ) | |
Other temporary differences | $ | (451,732 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, wash sales, futures contracts, residual interest bonds, expenditures on defaulted bonds, defaulted bond interest and accretion of market discount.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreements between the Fund and BMR, the fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Daily Net Assets | Annual Asset Rate | Daily Income Rate | ||||||
Up to $500 million | 0.3150 | % | 3.1500 | % | ||||
$500 million but less than $750 million | 0.2925 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$750 million but less than $1 billion | 0.2700 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$1 billion but less than $1.5 billion | 0.2700 | 2.7000 |
On average daily net assets of $1.5 billion or more, the rates are further reduced. The fee reductions cannot be terminated without the consent of a majority of the Trustees and a majority of shareholders. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the investment adviser fee amounted to $3,280,522 or 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency services to the Fund and receives a fee based upon the actual expenses it incurs in the performance of these services. For the year ended January 31, 2014, EVM earned $9,043 in sub-transfer agent fees, which are included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $48,559 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2014. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended January 31, 2014, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
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 EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares 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 to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2014 amounted to $917,118 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $79,879 and $1,056,090 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, 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. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended January 31, 2014 amounted to $26,626 and $352,030 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s NASD Conduct Rule 2830(d) and for Class B, are further limited to a 5% maximum sales charge as determined in accordance with such rule.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $81,000, $13,000 and $13,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $222,581,287 and $321,725,383, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2014.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at January 31, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ | 584,827,449 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 35,334,105 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (38,448,892 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation | $ | (3,114,787 | ) |
9 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2014.
10 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31, 2014 is as follows:
Futures Contracts | ||||||||||||||||
Expiration Month/Year | Contracts | Position | Aggregate Cost | Value | Net Unrealized Depreciation | |||||||||||
3/14 | 175 U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note | Short | $ | (21,876,047 | ) | $ | (22,006,250 | ) | $ | (130,203 | ) | |||||

$ | (658,135 | ) |
At January 31, 2014, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at January 31, 2014 was as follows:
Fair Value | ||||||||
Derivative | Asset Derivative | Liability Derivative | ||||||
Futures Contracts | $ | — | $ | (658,135 | )(1) |
(1) | Amount represents cumulative unrealized depreciation on futures contracts in the Futures Contracts table above. Only the current day’s variation margin on open futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin, as applicable. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk for the year ended January 31, 2014 was as follows:
Derivative | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | ||||||
Futures Contracts | $ | 3,263,467 | (1) | $ | (2,981,786 | )(2) |
(1) | Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) – Financial futures contracts. |
(2) | Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Financial futures contracts. |
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended January 31, 2014, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $42,800,000.
11 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities | $ | — | $ | 654,387,845 | $ | — | $ | 654,387,845 | ||||||||

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of January 31, 2013 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At January 31, 2014, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year then ended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund as of January 31, 2014, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
During the first three months of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, interest rates remained near historic lows, driven by highly accommodative monetary policies instituted by central banks around the world. As it had since December 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued to purchase $45 billion of U.S. Treasurys and $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities each month. These actions combined to put downward pressure on long-term bond yields, driving investors to look for other sources of income. One beneficiary was the municipal bond market, which rallied during the first three months of the period in response to strong investor demand.
In late May 2013, however, then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke surprised the markets by indicating that the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly asset purchases, known collectively as quantitative easing (QE), could be tapered sooner than most investors had expected. The negative effect on the bond market was swift and dramatic. Investors rushed to sell fixed-income assets in anticipation of rising interest rates, causing nearly every fixed-income asset class to decline in value.
Outflows had a particularly significant effect on the municipal bond market because, unlike other domestic fixed-income asset classes, the municipal market is primarily retail-based and is generally impacted more by the actions of small individual investors than other fixed-income asset classes. Even after the Fed tried to temper its comments and calm the markets, moderating the outflows in other fixed-income asset classes, heavy selling in municipals continued through August 2013, causing a significant increase in municipal bond yields.
The selling abated somewhat in September 2013, after the Fed surprised the markets again by postponing its tapering of QE that many investors had thought was imminent. And while the municipal market continued to experience net outflows through December 2013, the Fed’s mid-December announcement that tapering of QE would actually begin in January 2014 had only a muted effect on municipal yields. Investors appeared relieved that the tapering would be gradual and that the Fed still intended to keep the fed funds rate near zero for an extended period.
The first month of 2014 saw further good news for bond investors. Equities declined as a result of turmoil in emerging markets and weak U.S. economic numbers, particularly a
disappointing December jobs report. Falling equities prompted a “flight to quality” that drove a January rally in Treasurys. Municipal issues rallied more, as municipal performance was amplified by factors that historically have tended to help municipal performance in January: strong demand driven by reinvestment of principal and coupon payments in the face of seasonally light supply. This created a favorable supply-demand imbalance that helped drive up prices.
During the one-year period, additional pressure on the municipal market came from the City of Detroit’s bankruptcy filing on July 18, 2013 and heightened attention to Puerto Rico’s fiscal woes. Although Detroit’s fiscal problems have been well-documented for years and its bankruptcy should not have come as a surprise, the headlines associated with the filing injected additional fear into the municipal bond market. That fear, combined with Puerto Rico’s well-publicized fiscal challenges, drove both institutional and retail investors to sell Puerto Rico bonds, exerting additional downward pressure on the market value of the bonds in late August and September 2013. Prices of Puerto Rico bonds remained at depressed levels through the end of the period on January 31, 2014.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies (TABS) Short Term Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) underperformed their respective benchmark indexes. During the same time period, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund Class A shares at NAV outperformed that Fund’s benchmark.
The TABS Short Term, TABS Intermediate Term and TABS Long Term Funds seek to maximize after-tax total return. The Funds may invest in municipals, Treasury and agency bonds of high quality — generally rated AA6 and above — and of limited, intermediate or long duration7, respectively. Management pursues after-tax total return through relative value trading to take advantage of inefficiencies within the municipal market. Management also strives to add value by crossing over from municipals to U.S. government bonds and vice versa, according to which sector is more attractively valued on an after-tax basis.
For all three Funds, relative value trading was a positive contributor to the Funds’ relative performance versus their respective benchmarks during the 12-month period.
Because municipal bonds were more attractively valued than Treasurys throughout the period, all Funds were 100%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1 — continued
invested in municipals during the fiscal year and the crossover strategy was not employed.
All three Funds maintained a duration very close to that of their respective benchmarks during the period, and duration was not a material factor in the relative performance of any Fund.
Fund-specific Results
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, TABS Short Term Fund Class A shares at NAV returned 0.12%, underperforming the 1.39% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index2.
The primary detractor from the Fund’s performance versus its benchmark was yield curve positioning. The Fund was overweight in bonds with 1-2 years and 7-8 years remaining to maturity and underweight in bonds with about 5 years remaining to maturity, relative to the benchmark. However, the yield curve steepened dramatically during the late spring and summer of 2013, causing bonds in the 5-year area, where the Fund was underweight, to outperform bonds in the 7- to 8-year area, where the Fund was overweight. In contrast, relative value trading contributed to the Fund’s performance versus its benchmark.
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, TABS Intermediate Term Fund Class A shares at NAV returned -0.44%, lagging the -0.29% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 1-17 Year Bond Index.
Relative to its benchmark, TABS Intermediate Term Fund was overweight in bonds with maturities longer than 17 years. As the yield curve steepened in the late spring and summer of 2013, those longer-dated bonds performed worse than shorter-maturity issues and the Fund’s yield curve positioning hurt performance versus its benchmark. However, as the yield curve steepened and longer-dated bonds got cheaper and more attractive, management
added to the Fund’s overweight in longer-maturity bonds. When the yield curve reversed direction and flattened modestly in late 2013 and January 2014, longer-maturity bonds outperformed, and the Fund’s overweight in that area mitigated some of the losses earlier in the period. For the fiscal year as a whole, however, yield curve positioning — i.e., the Fund’s overweight in longer-maturity bonds — detracted from TABS Intermediate Term Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. In contrast, relative value trading contributed to the Fund’s performance versus its benchmark, as noted earlier.
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, TABS Long Term Fund Class A shares at NAV returned -1.25%, outperforming the -2.47% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Long (10+) Year Bond Index.
Relative value trading was the primary contributor to TABS Long Term Fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark. As with TABS Intermediate Term Fund, an overweight in longer-maturity issues was the most significant detractor from performance of TABS Long Term Fund versus its benchmark. Relative to its benchmark, TABS Long Term Fund was underweight in bonds with 10-20 years remaining to maturity and overweight in bonds with 20-30 years remaining to maturity. As the yield curve steepened in the late spring and summer of 2013, that longer-term bias hurt performance versus the benchmark. But as the yield curve steepened and longer-dated bonds got cheaper and more attractive, management added to the Fund’s overweight in longer-maturity bonds. As noted earlier, when the yield curve reversed direction and flattened modestly in late 2013 and January 2014, longer-maturity bonds outperformed. Thus the Fund’s overweight in that area mitigated some of the losses earlier in the period. But for the fiscal year as a whole, the Fund’s overweight in longer-maturity bonds detracted from Long Term Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 4–6 years. Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1–7 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 1–7 year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. The Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1–7 Year Bond Index commenced on January 30, 2009; accordingly the Ten Year return is not available and the index has been excluded from the Growth of $10,000 chart. Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 1–17 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 1–17 year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 6–8 years. Barclays Municipal Managed Money Long (10+) Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 10+ year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 12–17 years. 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. After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions, including using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state/local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or shares held by nontaxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares. |
For the Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund, performance prior to the inception date of each share class is that of a private investment partnership (the Predecessor Account). Performance shown prior to the inception of the share class is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but not adjusted for expense differences between the Predecessor Account and |
each share class. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The Predecessor Account was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) or a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and therefore the Predecessor Account was not subject to investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and/or the Code. If such requirements were applicable to the Predecessor Account, the performance shown may have been adversely affected. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
After-Tax Returns are not shown for the Five Year and Ten Year periods because the Predecessor Account, unlike a registered investment company, was not required to make annual income distributions to its investors. |
4 | Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratio reflects a contractual expense reimbursement for Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund and Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund that continues through 5/31/14. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be composed of ordinary income, tax-exempt income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Yield reflects the effect of fees waivers and expense reimbursements. |
6 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. 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 Standard and Poor’s or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating 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. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national rating agencies stated above. |
7 | Duration is a measure of the expected change in 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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

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 (August 1, 2013 – January 31, 2014).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each 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 each 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 your 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 each 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 each 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.

In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at January 31, 2014, 8.2% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from less than 0.05% to 4.0% of total investments.

In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at January 31, 2014, 11.2% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.9% to 6.2% of total investments.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of four funds, three of which, each diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund (Short Term Fund), Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund (Intermediate Term Fund) and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund (Long Term Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds’ investment objective is to seek after-tax total return. The Funds offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund 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 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 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.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At January 31, 2014, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses which will 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 will 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.
Short Term Fund | Intermediate Term Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Short-term deferred capital losses | $ | 2,387,438 | $ | 7,838,237 | $ | 1,080,493 | ||||||

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of January 31, 2014, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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 When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013 was as follows:

During the year ended January 31, 2014, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount and dividend redesignations:

Change in: | ||||||||||||

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of January 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
Short Term Fund | Intermediate Term Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $ | 80,824 | $ | 286,141 | $ | 13,102 | ||||||
Deferred capital losses | $ | (2,387,438 | ) | $ | (8,483,718 | ) | $ | (1,080,493 | ) | |||

Other temporary differences | $ | (148,131 | ) | $ | (297,098 | ) | $ | (13,145 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders and accretion of market discount.
3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Annual Asset Rate | ||||||||||||

On average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, the rates are reduced. For the year ended January 31, 2014, investment adviser and administration fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
Short Term Fund | Intermediate Term Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Investment Adviser and Administration Fee | $ | 4,803,921 | $ | 2,137,147 | $ | 129,183 | ||||||
Effective Annual Rate | 0.55 | % | 0.60 | % | 0.60 | % |
For Intermediate Term Fund and Long Term Fund, EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.95%, 1.70% and 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. These agreements may be changed or terminated after May 31, 2014. Pursuant to these agreements, EVM was allocated $160,721 and $106,144, respectively, of Intermediate Term Fund’s and Long Term Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2014.

Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions.

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at January 31, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Short Term Fund | Intermediate Term Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Aggregate cost | $ | 668,770,872 | $ | 259,411,198 | $ | 16,027,037 | ||||||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 18,151,207 | $ | 7,161,862 | $ | 644,245 | ||||||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (313,699 | ) | (271,238 | ) | (3,731 | ) | ||||||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 17,837,508 | $ | 6,890,624 | $ | 640,514 |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2014.
10 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Short Term Fund | ||||||||||||||||
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities | $ | — | $ | 686,362,230 | $ | — | $ | 686,362,230 | ||||||||

The Funds held no investments or other financial instruments as of January 31, 2013 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At January 31, 2014, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year then ended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund, and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund, and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund (the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolios of investments, as of January 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended for Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from the start of business, March 27, 2009, to January 31, 2010 for Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund, and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund as of January 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended for Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from the start of business, March 27,2009, to January 31, 2010 for Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

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. Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial advisor.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) 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 Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.
