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

 

 

We are pleased to provide this semiannual report for Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Plus Fund (the Fund) covering the six-month period ended November 30, 2019. Information about the Fund over the period appears below and in the pages that follow.

Market Update

With global growth slowing and heightened uncertainty about the potential impact of an escalating trade war between the U.S. and China, global bond yields declined (and bond prices rose) during the six months ended November 30, 2019. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped 36 basis points from 2.14% at May 31, 2019 to 1.78% at November 30, 2019. Against this backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) responded with rate cuts in July, September and October to bring the federal funds rate to a range of 1.75%-2.00%. The Fed characterized these rate cuts as “mid-cycle adjustments.” Risk assets responded well to the Fed’s actions — for example, the S&P 500® Index3 (U.S. equities) and ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index (U.S. high-yield bonds) were up 15.26% and 4.23%, respectively. Both long-duration10 fixed income instruments and many categories of equity assets had significantly positive total returns over the period.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended November 30, 2019, the Fund returned 1.01% based on net asset value (NAV) per common share and 8.23% based on market price. That compares with a return of 1.37% for the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index). The slight underperformance based on net asset value resulted primarily from the use of leverage7 during the period, which detracted from total return and more than offset favorable security selection. A significant contributor to the Fund’s outperformance based on market price was the narrowing of the discount of the market price relative to the Fund’s NAV, which followed a path similar to other publicly traded credit-oriented closed-end funds. The Fund underperformed and outperformed the Index over the one-year period ended November 30, 2019 based on NAV and market price, respectively.

For the three-year and five-year periods ended November 30, 2019, both the Fund’s average annual total return at NAV and market price outperformed the Index. Notably, over these longer periods, the use of leverage was a positive contributor to returns.

At November 30, 2019, the Fund’s common share distribution rate was 6.08% at NAV and 6.54% at market price. The Fund’s market price discount to NAV was 13.23% as of May 31, 2019. The Fund’s market price discount to NAV was 7.03% on November 30, 2019.

We appreciate your support and value the privilege to serve as the Fund’s investment manager. For more information on the Fund, please visit our website at eatonvance.com.

 

 

 

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated net of management fees and other expenses by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested in accordance with the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Performance at market price will differ from performance at NAV due to variations in the Fund’s market price versus NAV, which may reflect factors such as fluctuations in supply and demand for Fund shares, changes in Fund distributions, shifting market expectations for the Fund’s future returns and distribution rates, and other considerations affecting the trading prices of closed-end funds. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

The Fund’s Investment Objective and Principal Strategies2

 

 

The Fund’s investment objective is total return, with an emphasis on income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in senior, secured floating-rate loans (“Senior Loans”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in Senior Loans of domestic and foreign borrowers that are denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies.

In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities other than Senior Loans, including loan interests and participations which have (a) a second lien on collateral, no security interest in the collateral, or lower than a senior claim on collateral, as well as (i) investment- and non-investment-grade corporate debt obligations and convertible bonds; (ii) U.S. government and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign government or supranational debt securities; (iii) mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities; (iv) municipal securities; (v) other indexed-, fixed-, variable- and floating-rate income-producing obligations of U.S. and foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers; (vi) dividend-paying common and preferred stocks of domestic and foreign issuers (except common stock received in a bankruptcy proceeding or from a convertible security need not be dividend-paying); (vii) collateralized loan obligations and collateralized debt obligations; and (viii) warrants and equity securities issued by a borrower or its affiliates as part of a package of investments in the borrower or its affiliates.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt obligations, including Senior Loans, rated Caa1 or lower by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., or CCC or lower by S&P Global Ratings or Fitch Ratings, or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or unrated, but judged by its investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies with a similar investment objective, so long as such investments are limited to 10% of the Fund’s total assets overall, with no more than 5% invested in any one issuer. The Fund may purchase or sell derivative instruments (which derive their value from another instrument, security or index) for investment purposes; risk management purposes, such as hedging against fluctuations

in Senior Loans and other investments’ prices, interest rates or base currencies; diversification purposes; or changing the duration of the Fund. Transactions in derivative instruments may include the purchase or sale of futures contracts on securities, indices and other financial instruments, credit-linked notes, options on futures contracts, and exchange-traded, cleared and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options on securities or indices, and interest rate, total return and credit default swaps. The Fund may also invest in other types of investments that are not part of its principal strategy from time to time.

The Fund employs leverage to seek opportunities for additional income. Leverage may amplify the effect on the Fund’s NAV of any increase or decrease in the value of investments held. There can be no assurance that the use of borrowings will be successful. The Fund has issued preferred shares and borrowed to establish leverage. Investments in derivative instruments may result in economic leverage for the Fund.

The Fund’s investments are actively managed, and investments may be bought or sold on a daily basis. The investment adviser’s staff monitors the credit quality and price of Senior Loans and other investments held by the Fund, as well as other investments that are available to the Fund. The Fund may invest in individual Senior Loans and other investments of any credit quality. Although the Adviser considers ratings when making investment decisions, it performs its own credit and investment analysis and does not rely primarily on the ratings assigned by the rating services. In evaluating the quality of particular Senior Loans or other investments, whether rated or unrated, the investment adviser will under normal market conditions, take into consideration, among other things, the issuer’s financial resources and operating history, its sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, the ability of its management, its debt maturity schedules and borrowing requirements, and relative values based on anticipated cash flow, interest and asset coverage, and earnings prospects.

Performance results reflect the effects of leverage. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Pursuant to the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, if the NAV per share on the distribution payment date is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions, then new shares are issued. The number of shares shall be determined by the greater of the NAV per share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, shares generally are purchased on the open market by the Plan’s agent.

5 

The shares of the Fund often trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. The discount or premium may vary over time and may be higher or lower than what is quoted in this report. For up-to-date premium/discount information, please refer to https://funds.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-prices.php.

 

6 

The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. For additional information about nondividend distributions, please refer to Eaton Vance Closed-End Fund Distribution Notices (19a) posted on our website, eatonvance.com. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. Fund distributions may be affected by numerous factors including changes in Fund performance, the cost of financing for leverage, portfolio holdings, realized and projected returns, and other factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change.

 

7 

Leverage represents the liquidation value of the Fund’s VRTP Shares and borrowings outstanding as a percentage of Fund net assets applicable to common shares plus VRTP Shares and borrowings outstanding. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for income, but creates risks including greater price volatility. The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. The Fund may be required to maintain prescribed asset coverage for its leverage and may be required to reduce its leverage at an inopportune time.

 

8 

Credit ratings are categorized using S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by S&P.

 

9 

Other represents any investment type less than 1.0% of total investments. Asset allocation as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets amounted to 155.8%.

 

10 

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.

The percentage shown for each investment category in the Portfolio of Investments is based on net assets applicable to common shares.

 

  (1) 

Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate.

 

  (2) 

The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at November 30, 2019 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily redetermined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period.

 

  (3) 

Amount is less than 0.05%.

 

  (4) 

Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. At November 30, 2019, the total value of unfunded loan commitments is $231,454. See Note 1F for description.

 

  (5) 

This Senior Loan will settle after November 30, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

  (6) 

Issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments or has declared bankruptcy. For a variable rate security, interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status.

 

  (7) 

For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, security is categorized as Level 3 (see Note 11).

 

  (8) 

Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At November 30, 2019, the aggregate value of these securities is $21,647,743 or 17.0% of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares.

 

  (9) 

Represents a payment-in-kind security which may pay interest in additional principal at the issuer’s discretion.

 

(10) 

Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at November 30, 2019.

 

(11) 

Security was acquired in connection with a restructuring of a Senior Loan and may be subject to restrictions on resale.

 

(12) 

Non-income producing security.

1  Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Plus Fund (the Fund) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is total return, with an emphasis on income.

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 (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

A  Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.

Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Fund based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Fund. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Fund. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans (i.e., subordinated loans and second lien loans) are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.

Debt Obligations. Debt obligations 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 ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. 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 debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that uses various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events.

Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.

Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.

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 most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

 

 

the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, 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 — 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.

C  Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.

D  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 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.

In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.

As of November 30, 2019, 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.

E  Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

F  Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At November 30, 2019, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.

G  Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Fund) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Fund. However, the Fund’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Fund shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, 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  Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to November 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2  Variable Rate Term Preferred Shares

On July 10, 2013, the Fund issued 360 shares of Series C-1 Variable Rate Term Preferred Shares (Series C-1 VRTP Shares) in a private offering to a commercial paper conduit sponsored by a large financial institution.

Variable rate term preferred shares are a form of preferred shares that represent stock of the Fund. They have a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. The Series C-1 VRTP Shares also had an original mandatory redemption date of July 8, 2016 that had been extended on various dates through April 7, 2017 upon consent of the holders of the Series C-1 VRTP Shares and approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. On September 30, 2016, the Fund redeemed 170 Series C-1 VRTP Shares at a liquidation price of $100,000 per share, the financing for which was provided by a committed financing arrangement (see Note 7).

Upon completion of the partial redemption of the Series C-1 VRTP Shares, the remaining 190 Series C-1 VRTP Shares were transferred to another large financial institution (the Assignee) on September 30, 2016 as permitted by the Fund’s By-laws. The transferred Series C-1 VRTP Shares were then exchanged for an equal number of Series L-2 Variable Rate Term Preferred Shares (Series L-2 VRTP Shares), and the mandatory redemption date was extended to three years from the date of transfer. Effective January 24, 2019, the mandatory redemption date of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares was extended to January 24, 2024. Dividends on the Series L-2 VRTP Shares are determined each day based on a spread of 1.85% to three-month LIBOR. Such spread is determined based on the current credit rating of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares, which is provided by Moody’s Investors Service.

The Series L-2 VRTP Shares are redeemable at the option of the Fund at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, on any business day and solely for the purpose of reducing the leverage of the Fund. The Series L-2 VRTP Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if the Fund is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance or leverage ratio requirements with respect to the Series L-2 VRTP Shares. Six months prior to the mandatory redemption date, the Fund is required to segregate in a liquidity account with its custodian investments equal to 110% of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares’ redemption price, and over the six-month period execute a series of liquidation transactions to assure sufficient liquidity to redeem the Series L-2 VRTP Shares. The holders of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares, voting as a class, are entitled to elect two Trustees of the Fund. If the dividends on the Series L-2 VRTP Shares remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years’ dividends, the holders of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Trustees.

For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares (net of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs) is presented as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable. Dividends accrued on Series L-2 VRTP Shares are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes and are included in interest expense and fees on the Statement of Operations.

In connection with the transfer of the Series C-1 VRTP Shares to the Assignee on September 30, 2016, the Fund paid an upfront fee of $95,000 and debt issuance costs of $107,733. The Fund paid additional debt issuance costs of $23,000 in connection with the extension of the mandatory redemption date of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares. These amounts are being amortized to interest expense and fees through January 24, 2024. The unamortized amount of the debt issuance costs as of November 30, 2019 is presented as a deduction of the liability for variable rate term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The carrying amount of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares at November 30, 2019 represents its liquidation value, which approximates fair value. If measured at fair value, the Series L-2 VRTP Shares would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at November 30, 2019. The average liquidation preference of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares during the six months ended November 30, 2019 was $19,000,000.

3  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding variable rate term preferred shares. In addition, at least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends to variable rate term preferred shareholders are accrued daily and payable quarterly. The dividend rate on the Series L-2 VRTP Shares at November 30, 2019 was 3.85%. The amount of dividends accrued and the average annual dividend rate of the Series L-2 VRTP Shares during the six months ended November 30, 2019 were $390,215 and 4.11%, respectively.

Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are 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.

At May 31, 2019, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $6,884,233 which would 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 would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at May 31, 2019, $48,888 are short-term and $6,835,345 are long-term.

4  Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets and is payable monthly. Total managed assets as referred to herein represent total assets of the Fund (including assets attributable to borrowings, any outstanding preferred shares, or other forms of leverage) less accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings or such other forms of leverage). For the six months ended November 30, 2019, the Fund’s investment adviser fee amounted to $753,515. The Fund invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.

Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s organization receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM 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 six months ended November 30, 2019, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

5  Purchases and Sales of Investments

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on Senior Loans, aggregated $46,352,247 and $46,302,824, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2019.

6  Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund may issue common shares pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan. There were no common shares issued by the Fund for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019.

In November 2013, the Board of Trustees initially approved a share repurchase program for the Fund. Pursuant to the reauthorization of the share repurchase program by the Board of Trustees in March 2019, the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares outstanding as of the last day of the prior calendar year at market prices when shares are trading at a discount to net asset value. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. There were no repurchases of common shares by the Fund for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019.

According to filings made on Schedule 13D and 13G pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, one entity and an individual affiliated with that entity collectively owned 22.1% of the Fund’s common shares.

7  Revolving Credit and Security Agreement

The Fund has entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, as amended (the Agreement) with conduit lenders and a bank to borrow up to $64 million. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate above the conduits’ commercial paper issuance rate and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, in effect through March 9, 2020, the Fund also pays a program fee of 0.85% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to administer the facility and a liquidity fee of 0.15% (0.25% if the outstanding loan amount is less than or equal to 60% of the total facility size) per annum on the unused portion of the total commitment under the Agreement. Program and liquidity fees for the six months ended November 30, 2019 totaled $234,232 and are included in interest expense and fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also paid an upfront fee of $64,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over a period of one year through March 2020. The unamortized balance at November 30, 2019 is approximately $23,000 and is included in prepaid upfront fees on notes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is required to maintain certain net asset levels during the term of the Agreement. At November 30, 2019, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $51,500,000 at an annual interest rate of 1.88%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the Agreement and the variable interest rate, the carrying amount of the borrowings at November 30, 2019 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the Agreement would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at November 30, 2019. For the six months ended

November 30, 2019, the average borrowings under the Agreement and the average annual interest rate (excluding fees) were $52,122,951 and 2.32%, respectively.

8  Risks Associated with Foreign Investments

Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker/dealers and issuers than in the United States.

9  Credit Risk

The Fund invests primarily in below investment grade floating-rate loans, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s value.

10  Investments in Affiliated Funds

At November 30, 2019, the value of the Fund’s investment in affiliated funds was $4,418,883, which represents 3.5% of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the six months ended November 30, 2019 were as follows:

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.

 

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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.

Notice to Shareholders (Unaudited)

 

 

The purpose of this notice is to inform Fund shareholders that the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) will be phased out by the end of 2021 and of certain risks associated with this change.

LIBOR is the average offered rate for various maturities of short-term loans between major international banks who are members of the British Bankers Association (“BBA”). LIBOR is the most common benchmark interest rate index used to make adjustments to variable-rate loans. It is used throughout global banking and financial industries to determine interest rates for a variety of financial instruments (such as debt instruments and derivatives) and borrowing arrangements, and to determine dividend rates for preferred shares.

The use of LIBOR started to come under pressure following manipulation allegations in 2012. Despite increased regulation and other corrective actions since that time, concerns have arisen regarding its viability as a benchmark, due largely to reduced activity in the financial markets that it measures. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the United Kingdom financial regulatory body, announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021.

Although the period from the FCA announcement until the end of 2021 is generally expected to be enough time for market participants to transition to the use of a different benchmark for new securities and transactions, there remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the specific replacement rate or rates. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the financial instruments held by the Fund cannot yet be determined. The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a change in (i) the value of certain instruments held by the Fund, (ii) the cost of borrowing or the dividend rate for preferred shares, or (iii) the effectiveness of related Fund transactions such as hedges, as applicable. When LIBOR is discontinued, the LIBOR replacement rate may be lower than market expectations, which could have an adverse impact on the value of preferred and debt-securities with floating or fixed-to-floating rate coupons. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Fund. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021.

Various financial industry groups have begun planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there are obstacles to converting certain longer term securities and transactions to a new benchmark. In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of large U.S. banks working with the Federal Reserve, announced its selection of a new Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to be a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, as an appropriate replacement for LIBOR. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing the SOFR earlier in 2018, with the expectation that it could be used on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Bank working groups and regulators in other countries have suggested other alternatives for their markets, including the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (“SONIA”) in England.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

 

 

Privacy.  The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:

 

 

Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions.

 

 

None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers.

 

 

Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information.

 

 

We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com.

Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., Eaton Vance Trust Company, Eaton Vance Management (International) Limited, Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd., Eaton Vance Management’s Real Estate Investment Group and Boston Management and Research. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.

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. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), the closed-end funds transfer agent, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct AST, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact AST or your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by AST or your financial intermediary.

Portfolio Holdings.  Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT 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.

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.

Share Repurchase Program.  The Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Fund to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares outstanding as of the last day of the prior calendar year in open-market transactions at a discount to net asset value. The repurchase program does not obligate the Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. The Fund’s repurchase activity, including the number of shares purchased, average price and average discount to net asset value, is disclosed in the Fund’s annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.

Additional Notice to Shareholders.  If applicable, a Fund may also redeem or purchase its outstanding preferred shares in order to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, borrowing or rating agency requirements or for other purposes as it deems appropriate or necessary.

Closed-End Fund Information.  Eaton Vance closed-end funds make fund performance data and certain information about portfolio characteristics available on the Eaton Vance website shortly after the end of each month. Other information about the funds is available on the website. The funds’ net asset value per share is readily accessible on the Eaton Vance website. Portfolio holdings for the most recent month-end are also posted to the website approximately 30 days following the end of the month. This information is available at www.eatonvance.com on the fund information pages under “Individual Investors — Closed-End Funds”.
