PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES Each Fund's Declaration of Trust provides that the Board of Trustees shall be divided into three classes. The term of office of the Class I Trustees expires on the date of the 2000 Annual Meeting, and the term of office of the Class II and Class III Trustees will expire one and two years thereafter, respectively. Trustees chosen to succeed the Trustees whose terms are expiring will be elected for a three-year term. An effect of staggered terms is to limit the ability of entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund. Each Fund's Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Trustees shall fix the number of the entire Board and that such number shall be at least two and no greater than fifteen. Each Board has fixed the number of Trustees at seven. Proxies will be voted for the election of the following two nominees. Each nominee is presently serving as a Trustee and has consented to continue to so serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to serve for any reason (which is not now expected) when the election occurs, the accompanying Proxy will be voted for such other person or persons as the Board of Trustees may recommend. The nominees to serve until the 2000 Annual Meeting are Jessica M. Bibliowicz and Donald R. Dwight. The Trustees serving until the 2001 Annual Meeting are James B. Hawkes and Samuel L. Hayes, III. The Trustees serving until the 2002 Annual Meeting are Norton H. Reamer, Lynn A. Stout and Jack L. Treynor. The Trustees whose names are followed by (1) are APS Share Trustees. The nominees and Trustees and their principal occupations for at least the last five years are as follows. The nominee whose name is followed by an asterisk (*) is an "interested person" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) because of her affiliation with a brokerage firm. The Trustee whose name is followed by two asterisks (**) is an "interested person" by reason of his affiliations with Eaton Vance Management ("EVM" or "Eaton Vance"), each Fund's investment adviser, and Eaton Vance Corp. ("EVC"), a holding company which owns all of the outstanding stock of EVM; and of EVM's trustee, Eaton Vance, Inc. ("EV"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC.

(3) Includes $16,000 of deferred compensation. Trustees of each Fund who are not affiliated with Eaton Vance may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan (a "Trustees' Plan"). Under each Trustees' Plan, an eligible Trustee may elect to have his deferred fees invested by each Fund in the shares of one or more funds in the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, and the amount paid to the Trustees under each Trustees' Plan will be determined based upon the performance of such investments. Deferral of Trustees' fees in accordance with each Trustees' Plan will have a negligible effect on the Fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a Fund to retain the services of any trustee or obligate a Fund to pay any particular level of compensation to the trustee. Each Fund does not have a retirement plan for its Trustees. 5 Trustees shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's shares voting at the Annual Meeting. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE TWO NOMINEES TO THEIR FUND'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. PROPOSAL 2. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS Each Fund's Board of Trustees has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent certified public accountants for the Fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2000. Each Fund's shareholders are being asked to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to perform audit services for the Fund. Deloitte & Touche LLP has acted as independent certified public accountants for each Fund since its inception. The services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP include the examination of each Fund's annual financial statements, assistance and consultation in connection with Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and the review of tax matters on behalf of each Fund. Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be represented at the Annual Meeting, but, if not, a representative of that firm will be available by telephone should the need for consultation arise. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING THOSE TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED PERSONS OF A FUND, RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS OF THEIR FUND FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING NOVEMBER 30, 2000. NOTICE TO BANKS AND BROKER/DEALERS Each Fund has previously solicited all Nominee and Broker/Dealer accounts as to the number of additional proxy statements required to supply owners of shares.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE. Thomas J. Fetter, President, filed late two reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding two purchases of shares of the Municipal Fund. Eaton Vance Management with its principal office at The Eaton Vance Building, 255 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves as the investment adviser and administrator to each Fund. The expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and enclosures and the costs of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund will be borne ratably by the Funds. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may be solicited in person or by telephone, telegraph or facsimile by officers of a Fund, by personnel of its administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, PFPC Global Fund Services, or by broker-dealer firms. The expenses connected with the solicitation of these proxies and with any further proxies which may be solicited by a Fund's officers, by Eaton Vance personnel, by the transfer agent, PFPC Global Fund Services, or by broker-dealer firms, in person, or by telephone, by telegraph or by facsimile will be borne by that Fund. A written proxy may be delivered to a Fund or its transfer agent prior to the meeting by facsimile machine, graphic communication equipment or similar electronic transmission. A Fund will reimburse banks, broker-dealer firms, and other persons holding that Fund's shares registered in their names or in the names of their nominees, for their expenses incurred in sending proxy material to and obtaining proxies from the beneficial owners of such shares. Total estimated costs per Fund are less than $10,000. All proxy cards solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on the proxy card with respect to Proposals 1 and 2, it will be voted for the matters specified on the proxy card. For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and for determining whether sufficient votes have been received for approval of any matter to be acted upon at the meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting but which have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will assist the Fund in obtaining a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposals 1 and 2. In the event that sufficient votes by the shareholders of the Fund in favor of any Proposal set forth in the Notice of this meeting are not received by March 24, 2000, the persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the Proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such adjournment will require the 7 affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of that Fund present in person or by proxy at the session of the meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal for which further solicitation of proxies is to be made.
