**Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Proxy Statement**

What are Shareholders being asked to vote on?

PROPOSAL 1: To approve a new investment advisory agreement for each Series with Eaton Vance

Management (“Eaton Vance”) or Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), as applicable;

1A. (Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund, Eaton Vance Atlanta Capital SMID-Cap Fund, Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston, and Eaton Vance Short Duration Government Income Fund)To approve a new investment advisory agreement with Eaton Vance Management or Boston Management and Research, as applicable, to serve as the Series’s investment adviser;

1B. (Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund) To approve a new investment advisory and administrative agreement with Eaton Vance Management to serve as the Series’s investment adviser and administrator;

PROPOSAL 2: To approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement with the noted sub-adviser for each applicable Series listed under Proposal 2 in the Proxy Statement;

2A. (Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston)To approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement with Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. to serve as the Series’s investment sub-adviser;

2E. (Eaton Vance Atlanta SMID-Cap Fund)To approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement with Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC to serve as the Series’s investment sub-adviser;

PROPOSAL 3: To provide voting instructions to each applicable Investing Fund with respect to the approval of a new investment advisory agreement with Eaton Vance or BMR, as applicable, to serve as investment adviser to the Underlying Funds in which such Investing Fund invests;

3A. (Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund, and Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund) To provide voting instructions to each applicable Series, each of which invests pursuant to a master-feeder arrangement, with respect to the approval of a new investment advisory agreement with Boston Management and Research to serve as investment adviser to the Portfolio in which such Series invests;

PROPOSAL 1: To approve a new investment advisory agreement for each Series with Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”) or Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), as applicable;

PROPOSAL 2: To approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement with the noted sub-adviser for each applicable Series listed under Proposal 2 in the Proxy Statement;

What are shareholders being asked to approve?

Shareholders of each Series will be asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement with Eaton Vance or BMR, as applicable, and shareholders of certain Series will also be asked to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement.

What is happening?

On October 7, 2020, Eaton Vance Corp. (“EVC”), the parent company of each of Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”) and Boston Management and Research (“BMR” and, together with Eaton Vance, the “Advisers” and, each individually, an “Adviser”), entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley pursuant to which Morgan Stanley will acquire EVC and its affiliates, including both of the Advisers (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction is subject to the completion or waiver of various conditions, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021 (the “Closing”).

How is the Transaction relevant to my Fund?

EVC is the parent company of each of the Advisers. The Transaction is relevant to your Fund(s) because either Eaton Vance or Boston Management and Research (“BMR”) serves as investment adviser to your Fund or as investment adviser to a Fund in which your Fund invests.

In addition, certain Funds have investment sub-advisory relationships with Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (“EVAIL”) or Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (“Atlanta Capital”). Each of EVAIL and Atlanta Capital is an affiliate of the Advisers.

Because each of the Advisers, EVAIL and Atlanta Capital are wholly-owned subsidiaries of EVC, upon the Closing, each of the Advisers, EVAIL and Atlanta Capital will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.

Proposals 1 & 2 – New IAA Series (Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund and Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund)

Some Series (the “New IAA Series”) which are organized as feeder funds in master-feeder structures where the master fund is a Portfolio, do not currently have investment advisory agreements in place. Rather, there exists an investment advisory agreement between the underlying Portfolio and BMR and the New IAA Series allocates all of its assets to such underlying Portfolio. For consistency across similarly structured funds and investment flexibility, Eaton Vance proposed, and the Board of each such New IAA Series has approved, new investment advisory agreements with respect to the New IAA Series.

With respect to the New IAA Series, new investment advisory agreements with Eaton Vance are being proposed. These agreements are being proposed irrespective of the Transaction and are proposed to become effective even if the Closing does not occur.

If the investment advisory agreement is approved by shareholders of a New IAA Series, the new agreement(s) will become effective as of the Closing or on another date determined by an officer of the Series.

How will the Transaction affect each Fund’s investment advisory agreement or subadvisory agreement?

Upon the Closing, each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with its Adviser and, if applicable, investment sub-advisory agreement with its Sub-Adviser, may be deemed to automatically terminate. This is because the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which regulates investment companies such as the Funds, requires investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements to terminate automatically in the event of an assignment of the agreement.

How will the Transaction potentially benefit my Fund?

It is expected that the Transaction will deliver long-term financial benefits for the Funds. The combined business of EVC and Morgan Stanley will offer a unique public and private market investment solution set to clients in the industry and is expected to have the resources to bring deep capital markets and value-added service excellence to EVC and its affiliates’ relationships.

Approval of the new investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements will provide continuity of the investment program you selected through your investment in the Fund(s) and help to ensure that each Fund’s operations continue uninterrupted after the Closing.

How do the proposed new investment advisory and new investment sub-advisory agreements differ from my Fund’s current investment advisory and, as applicable, investment sub-advisory agreements?

While certain provisions have been updated, the proposed investment advisory agreements with each Adviser are substantially similar to the current investment advisory agreements with such Adviser.

The proposed investment sub-advisory agreements with each Sub-Adviser are substantially similar to the current investment sub-advisory agreements with such Sub-Adviser.

The services that your Fund(s) will receive under the new investment advisory agreement and, if applicable, investment sub-advisory agreement are expected to be substantially similar to those it receives under the current investment advisory agreement and, if applicable, investment sub-advisory agreement.

New IAA Series

For each New IAA Series, the proposed investment advisory agreement with Eaton Vance is substantially similar to the current investment advisory agreements between BMR and the applicable Portfolio in which each such New IAA Series invests.

Will my Fund’s contractual management fee rates increase?

The investment advisory fee rates and the investment advisory and administrative services fee rates (referred to collectively as “management fee” rates) proposed for the Funds will remain the same as under their existing agreements. No sub-adviser will receive increased investment sub-advisory fees as a result of the Transaction.

New IAA Series

No changes in the management fees paid by the New IAA Series are anticipated if these agreements are approved by shareholders. Eaton Vance will not charge a management fee with respect to Series assets invested in an underlying Portfolio or other investment company for which Eaton Vance or its affiliates serve as investment adviser and receive an advisory fee.

In the event Eaton Vance manages directly any assets of a New IAA Series, the applicable management fee rate payable by such New IAA Series will be the same as that payable to BMR by its corresponding Portfolio. Each New IAA Series expects to continue to invest all of its assets in its respective underlying Portfolio.

Will the new investment advisory agreement and the new investment sub-advisory agreement, if applicable, result in any changes in the investment objective(s) or investment strategy of my Fund?

The new agreements are not expected to result in any changes to any Fund’s investment objective(s) or investment strategy.

Will the new investment advisory agreement and the new investment sub-advisory agreement, if applicable, result in any changes in the portfolio management?

The portfolio managers for each Fund (except the New IAA Series, which currently have no portfolio managers) are expected to continue in such roles upon the Closing.

The New IAA Series will have the same portfolio managers as their respective corresponding Portfolio, although Eaton Vance will serve as investment adviser to the New IAA Series and BMR will continue to serve as investment adviser to the Portfolios.

Will the Transaction be completed if the Proposal(s) are not approved?

The Closing may take place even if shareholders of a Fund(s) do not approve the Proposal(s). If this should happen, the Board(s) of such Fund(s) would consider what additional actions to take, which could include continuing to solicit approval of a new investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement. In addition, the Advisers could (and expect to) propose that the Board of each Fund approve an interim investment advisory agreement and, as applicable, an interim investment sub-advisory agreement to permit continuity of management while solicitation continues. The terms of the interim investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements would be identical to those of the current agreements except for term and escrow provisions required by applicable law.

THE BOARD OF EACH SERIES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

PROPOSAL 1 AND, IF APPLICABLE, PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSAL 3: To provide voting instructions to each applicable Investing Fund with respect to the approval of a new investment advisory agreement with Eaton Vance or BMR, as applicable, to serve as investment adviser to the Underlying Funds in which such Investing Fund invests;

What are shareholders being asked to approve?

Certain Series are Investing Funds that invest their assets in one or more Underlying Funds (Portfolios or other Underlying Funds) in a master-feeder or fund-of-funds arrangement. Shareholders of each Investing Fund are being asked to provide instructions regarding how their Investing Fund(s), as beneficial owner of interests in the Underlying Fund, should vote on the proposals to approve the new investment advisory agreement for the Underlying Fund.

If you are a shareholder in an Investing Fund that invests in an Underlying Fund, you will be asked to vote to approve the new investment advisory agreement and, if applicable, a new investment sub-advisory agreement for your Investing Fund.

You will also be asked to provide voting instructions with respect to the approval of the investment advisory agreement for the Underlying Fund(s) in which your Investing Fund invests.

THE BOARD OF EACH SERIES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3

Will one Proposal pass if the other Proposals are not approved?

Except with respect to the New IAA Series, the Proposals are subject to the Closing. If the Closing does not

occur, the Proposals will be deemed null and the Boards will consider whether other actions are warranted, except that investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for New IAA Series will be implemented if approved by shareholders.

Proposal 1 is not contingent on the approval of any other Proposal. Proposal 2, with respect to a particular Series, is contingent upon approval of Proposal 1 by that Series. If the shareholders of a given Series do not approve Proposal 1, then Proposal 2 will be deemed null with respect to that Series and the Board of that Series will then consider whether other actions, if any, are warranted.

Proposal 3 requests instructions on how an Investing Fund should vote its interest in one or more Underlying Funds, and is therefore not contingent on the approval of any other Proposal. At the meetings of the Underlying Funds, which will take place on February 18, 2021, the approval of an Underlying Fund’s investment advisory agreement (for which Proposal 3 seeks your instructions) will not be contingent on the approval of any other proposal.

Is my Fund paying for the Transaction or the proxy solicitation?

The Funds will not bear any portion of the costs associated with the Transaction. All costs of the Proxy Statement and the Meeting, including proxy solicitation costs, legal fees, and the costs of printing and mailing the Proxy Statement, will be borne by EVC.

PHONE:	To cast your vote by telephone with a proxy specialist, call the toll-free number found on your proxy card.  Representatives are available to take your voting instructions Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
MAIL:	To vote your proxy by mail, check the appropriate voting box on the proxy card, sign, date and return the card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEETING LOCATION

As part of the effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment at the Meeting, the Series and the Series’ Boards of Trustees or Board of Directors, as applicable (each a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards”) are closely monitoring statements issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov) and local authorities regarding the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19.

For that reason, the Boards reserve the right to reconsider the date, time, and/or means of convening the Meeting for one or more Series. Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the Boards may

choose to conduct the Meeting of one or more Series solely by means of remote communications, or may hold a “hybrid” meeting where some participants attend in person and others attend by means of remote communications.

If the Boards choose to change the date, time, and/or means of convening the Meeting for a Series, the Series will publicly announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as additional proxy material.
