This proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund, and is revocable by the person giving it prior to exercise by a signed writing filed with the Funds' Secretary, or by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the meeting and voting the shares in person. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will authorize the persons named as attorneys, or any of them, to vote in favor of the election of each Trustee. This proxy material is being mailed to shareholders on or about January 29, 2003. The Board of Trustees of each Fund has fixed the close of business January 14, 2003, as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments thereof. Shareholders at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held. The number of Common Shares, $.01 par value per share ("Common Shares") and the number of Auction Preferred Shares, $.01 par value per share, liquidation preference $25,000 per share ("APS"), of each Fund outstanding on January 14, 2003 was as follows: No. of Common No. of APS Shares Outstanding Shares Outstanding Fund January 14, 2003 On January 14, 2003 ---- ---------------- ------------------- California Fund 7,177,287 2,360 Florida Fund 4,230,281 1,420 Massachusetts Fund 2,637,773 860 Michigan Fund 2,087,955 700 Municipal Fund 16,630,039 5,240 New Jersey Fund 4,542,866 1,520 New York Fund 5,355,058 1,780 Ohio Fund 2,792,775 940 Pennsylvania Fund 2,667,293 900 Each Fund will vote separately on each item; votes of multiple Funds will not be aggregated. As of January 14, 2003, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a Fund. The Trustees and officers of each Fund, as a group, own beneficially less than 1% of the shares of each Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Funds know of no business other than that mentioned in Item 1 of the Notice of Meeting which will be presented for consideration. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy to vote the proxies in accordance with their judgment on such matters. 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 2003 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 a 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 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 for Class I Trustees to serve until the 2006 Annual Meeting are Jessica M. Bibliowicz and Donald R. Dwight. The Trustees serving until the 2004 Annual Meeting are James B. Hawkes and Samuel L. Hayes, III. The Trustees serving until the 2005 Annual Meeting are Norton H. Reamer, Lynn A. Stout and Jack L. Treynor. The nominees and Trustees and their principal occupations for at least the last five years are as follows. INTERESTED TRUSTEES James B. Hawkes is an "interested person" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) by reason of his affiliations with Eaton Vance Management ("EVM" or "Eaton Vance"), each Fund's investment adviser, and Eaton Vance Corp. ("EVC"), a publicly traded holding company which indirectly owns all the outstanding stock of EVM; and of EVM's trustee, Eaton Vance, Inc. ("EV"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC. (EVM, EVC, and their affiliates are sometimes referred to collectively as the "EVC organization".) Jessica M. Bibliowicz is an "interested person" because of her affiliation with a brokerage firm that is and has been a dealer in shares of Funds for which EVM acts as investment adviser. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES BY APS AND COMMON SHARES Under the terms of each Fund's By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws"), the holders of the APS are entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of the Common Shares, to elect two Trustees of each Fund. No APS Trustees are to be elected at this meeting. The By-Laws further provide for the election of the nominees named below by the holders of the Common Shares and the APS, voting as a single class. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. The Trustees of a Fund shall be elected by a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote. 2 TRUSTEES Number of Term of Portfolios Office and in Fund Other Position(s) Length of Complex Directorships Name, Address Held with Time Principal Occupations During Past Five Overseen by Held by and Age(1) Fund Served Years Trustee(2) Trustee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (FOR TRUSTEES NOMINATED FOR ELECTION IN 2003:) JESSICA M.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, the Trustees of each Fund met nine times, the Nominating Committee met six times, the Special Committee met four times and the Audit Committee met two times. Each Fund's Trustees listed above attended at least 75% of such Board and committee meetings on which he or she serves. The Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund is comprised of all the Trustees who are not "interested persons" as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. Messrs. Treynor (Chairman), Dwight, Hayes, Reamer and Ms. Stout are currently serving on the Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to recommend to the Board nominees for the position of noninterested trustee and to assure that at least a majority of the Board of Trustees is independent of Eaton Vance and its affiliates. The Board will, when a vacancy exists or is anticipated, consider any nominee for Trustee recommended by a shareholder if such recommendation is submitted to the Board in writing and contains sufficient background information concerning the individual to enable a proper judgment to be made as to such individual's qualifications. 4 Messrs. Hayes (Chairman), Dwight, Reamer and Ms. Stout are members of the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund. The purpose of the Special Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the full Board concerning (i) all contractual arrangements with service providers to a Fund, including investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, custodial and fund accounting and distribution services (if any), and (ii) all other matters in which Eaton Vance or its affiliates has any actual or potential conflict of interest with a Fund or its shareholders. Messrs. Treynor (Chairman), Dwight, Hayes and Reamer are members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund. Each member is independent of the Fund, as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange Listing Standards. The Audit Committee's functions include making recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of the independent certified public accountants, and reviewing matters relative to trading and brokerage policies and practices, accounting and auditing practices and procedures, accounting records, internal accounting controls, and the functions performed by the custodian, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each Fund. Each Fund's Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee's charter was included as an appendix to the Funds' proxy statement used in connection with the Funds' Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on March 23, 2001. Set forth below under "Additional Information" is the Audit Committee's Report for each Fund. REMUNERATION OF TRUSTEES The fees and expenses of those Trustees of each Fund who are not members of the Eaton Vance organization will be paid by the Funds. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, the noninterested Trustees of the Funds earned the following compensation in their capacities as Trustees of the Funds, and for the year ended December 31, 2002 earned the following compensation in their capacities as Trustees of the registered investment companies in the Eaton Vance fund complex(1): Jessica M.

(2) Includes $60,000 of deferred compensation. (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. No Fund has a Trustee retirement plan. 5 THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE TWO NOMINEES TO THEIR FUND'S CLASS I TRUSTEES. 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. Should additional proxy material be required for beneficial owners, please forward such requests to PFPC Inc., Attention: Mr. Joseph P. Lundbohm, P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT. Each Fund's Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Fund management. Each Fund's Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards). Each Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and discussed with the independent accountants their independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund's annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Jack L. Treynor, Chairman Donald R. Dwight Samuel L. Hayes, III Norton H. Reamer AUDITORS, AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES.

Representatives of Deloitte will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. For the most recent fiscal year, the Funds paid an aggregate of $322,000 in professional fees to their auditors, Deloitte, (ranging from $27,900 to $57,800 per Fund), of which $147,400 was paid for audit services and $173,700 was paid for other services. Deloitte also provides services to numerous other investment companies sponsored by Eaton Vance and serves as EVC's auditors. Total fees paid to Deloitte by Eaton Vance Corp. (and its affiliates) for the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2002 were $816,946. The Audit Committee and Board of Trustees of each Fund are aware that Deloitte provides services to the Eaton Vance organization. 6 OFFICERS OF THE FUNDS.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR. 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. PROXY SOLICITATION AND TABULATION. 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 Inc., 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 Inc., 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 7 sending proxy material to and obtaining proxies from the beneficial owners of such shares. Total estimated costs per Fund are $18,000 for the Municipal Fund and $6,500 for each other Fund. All proxy cards solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on the proxy card with respect to Proposal 1, it will be voted for the matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes for matters required by the 1940 Act to be approved by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. (Broker non-votes are shares for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.) Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will assist the Fund in obtaining a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. 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 21, 2003, 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 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. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted against such Proposal. The costs of any such additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the relevant Fund. A copy of a Fund's Annual or Semi-Annual Report will be furnished without charge to any shareholder upon request. Shareholders desiring to obtain a copy of such report should write to the Fund c/o PFPC, Inc., Attn: Mr. Joseph P. Lundbohm, P.O.
