The Board of Trustees of each Fund (“Board” or the “Board of Trustees”)
has fixed the close of business on October 29, 2024 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. The number of common shares of beneficial interest,

Each Fund will vote separately on each proposal; votes of multiple Funds will not
be aggregated.
To the knowledge of the Funds, based on filings made on Schedules 13D and 13G pursuant
to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of October 29, 2024,
one or more shareholders of Limited Duration Income Fund owns 5% or more of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares and/or APS. Information
relating to such shareholders can be found on Exhibit C. Also as of October 29, 2024, to each Fund’s knowledge: (i) no other shareholder
owned 5% or more of the outstanding Common Shares and/or APS of a Fund; and (ii) the Trustees and executive officers of each Fund, individually
and as a group, owned beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding Common Shares and/or APS of each Fund.
Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date of October 29, 2024, are
entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at
the Annual Meeting. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will
authorize the persons named on the respective proxy card enclosed as proxies, or any of them, to vote FOR the election of each Trustee.
An executed proxy delivered to a Fund is revocable by the person giving it, prior to its exercise, by a signed writing filed with the
Fund’s Secretary, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting the shares at
the Annual Meeting. Merely attending the Annual Meeting will not revoke a previously executed proxy. If you hold Fund shares through
an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, adviser or custodian), please consult with the intermediary regarding your ability to revoke
voting instructions after they have been provided.
If you are a record holder of Fund shares and plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you
must show a valid photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. Please call 1-800-262-1122
for information on how to obtain directions to be able to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary and plan to attend and vote at the
Annual Meeting, you will be required to show a valid photo identification and your authority to vote your shares (referred to as a “legal
proxy”) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. As described above, you must contact your intermediary to obtain a legal proxy
for your shares.
PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Each Fund’s Agreement and 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 ten. Under the terms of each Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees
is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years to expire on the date of the third Annual Meeting following its
election.
| 1 | Proxy Statement dated November 26, 2024 |
Proxies will be voted for the election of the following nominees:
| a. | For
Limited Duration Income Fund, three Class I Trustees, Cynthia E. Frost, Valerie A. Mosley,
and Scott E. Wennerholm, to be elected by the holders of the Fund’s Common Shares and
APS, voting together as a single class; and: |
| b. | For
National Municipal Opportunities Trust, three Class I Trustees, Valerie A. Mosley, Susan
J. Sutherland, and Scott E. Wennerholm, to be elected by the shareholders of the Fund’s
Common Shares. |
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee
nominees of each Fund.
Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee of his or her respective Fund 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. Election
of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement.
Each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares
of the Fund entitled to vote. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. No nominee is
a party adverse to his or her respective Fund or any of its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee
have an interest materially adverse to such Fund.
Under the terms of Limited Duration Income Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws,
as amended, 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 the Fund. There are no Trustees nominated for election by holders of Limited Duration Income Fund’s APS at this meeting. Limited
Duration Income Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws further provide for the election of the nominees named above by the holders
of the Common Shares and the APS, voting together as a single class.
The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees of
each Fund, including the principal occupations of each such person for at least the last five years. References below to “EVV”
are to Limited Duration Income Fund and to “EOT” are to National Municipal Opportunities Trust. Information in the table

to serve as Trustee for a fund in the Eaton Vance family of funds. Each Trustee has served
continuously since appointment unless indicated otherwise. |
(2) | Elected or
nominated to be elected by holders of Limited Duration Income Fund’s APS. |
Each current Trustee listed above is a Trustee that is not an “interested person”
of a Fund, as that term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (each, a “noninterested
Trustee”), and served as a trustee of 127 funds within the Eaton Vance fund complex as of October 29, 2024 (including both funds
and portfolios in a hub and spoke structure). The address of each Trustee is One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
Each Trustee holds office until the Annual Meeting for the year in which his or her
term expires and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject to a prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification
or removal. Under the terms of each Fund’s current Trustee retirement policy, a noninterested Trustee must retire and resign as
a Trustee on the earlier of: (i) the first day of July following his or her 74th birthday; or (ii), with limited exception,
December 31st of the 20th year in which he or she has served
| 3 | Proxy Statement dated November 26, 2024 |
as a Trustee. However, if such retirement and resignation would cause a Fund to be
out of compliance with Section 16 of the 1940 Act, or any other regulations or guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
then such retirement and resignation will not become effective until such time as action has been taken for a Fund to be in compliance
with Section 16 of the 1940 Act and any other regulations or guidance of the SEC.
Share Ownership by Trustee
As of October 29, 2024, no Trustee held shares in the Funds. The following table shows,
as of October 29, 2024, the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Trustee in all registered investment companies
advised or administered by Eaton Vance (the “Eaton Vance family of funds”) overseen by the Trustee, which may include shares,
if any, deemed to be beneficially owned by a noninterested Trustee through a deferred compensation plan.

Board Meetings and Committees
The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the business and affairs
of each Fund. The Board has engaged an investment adviser and (if applicable) a sub-adviser (collectively, the “adviser”)
to manage each Fund. The Funds’ investment adviser also serves as administrator of each Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing
such adviser and administrator and other service providers to the Fund. The Board is currently composed of ten noninterested Trustees.
In addition to six regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific
matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established six committees to assist
the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
The Board has appointed a noninterested Trustee to serve in the role of Chairperson.
The Chairperson’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board and the identification
of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board. The Chairperson also presides at all
meetings of the Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Board members generally between meetings.
The Chairperson may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. In addition, the Board may appoint
a noninterested Trustee to serve in the role of Vice-Chairperson. The Vice-Chairperson has the power and authority to perform any or
all of the duties and responsibilities of the Chairperson in the absence of the Chairperson and/or as requested by the Chairperson. Except
for any duties specified herein or pursuant to each Fund’s Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, the designation of Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson
does not impose on such noninterested Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability
imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.
Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance,
operational, and valuation risks. Risk oversight is part of the Board’s general oversight of each Fund and is addressed as part
of various activities of the Board and its Committees. As part of its oversight of each Fund, the Board directly, or through a Committee,
relies on and reviews reports from, among others, Fund management, the adviser/administrator, the principal underwriter, the Chief Compliance
Officer (the “CCO”), and other Fund service providers responsible for day-to-day oversight of Fund investments, operations
and compliance to assist the Board in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of risks and determining whether, and to what
extent, such risks can or should be mitigated. The Board also interacts with the CCO and with senior personnel of the adviser/administrator,
the principal underwriter and other Fund service providers and provides input on risk management issues during meetings of the Board
and its Committees. Each of the adviser/administrator, the principal underwriter and the other Fund service providers has its own independent
interest and responsibilities in risk management, and its policies and methods for carrying out risk management functions will depend,
in part, on its individual priorities, resources and controls. It is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect a Fund
or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain
risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve a Fund’s goals.
| 4 | Proxy Statement dated November 26, 2024 |
The Board, with the assistance of management and with input from the
Board’s various committees, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of Fund performance. The Board
has appointed a Fund CCO who oversees the implementation and testing of each Fund’s compliance program and reports to the
Board regarding compliance matters for the Funds and their principal service providers. In addition, as part of the Board’s
periodic review of the advisory, subadvisory (if applicable), distribution and other service provider agreements, the Board may
consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible. With respect to valuation,
the Board approves and periodically reviews valuation policies and procedures applicable to valuing each Fund’s shares. The
administrator and the adviser are responsible for the implementation and day-to-day administration of these valuation policies and
procedures and provide reports to the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board regarding these and related matters. In addition,
the Audit Committee of the Board or the Board receives reports periodically from the independent public accounting firm for each
Fund regarding tests performed by such firm on the valuation of all securities, as well as with respect to other risks associated
with registered investment companies. Reports received from service providers, legal counsel and the independent public accounting
firm assist the Board in performing its oversight function.
Each Fund’s By-Laws set forth specific qualifications to serve as a Trustee.
The Charter of the Governance Committee also sets forth certain factors that the Committee may take into account in considering noninterested
Trustee candidates. In general, no one factor is decisive in the selection of an individual to join the Board. Among the factors the
Board considers when concluding that an individual should serve on the Board are the following: (i) knowledge in matters relating to
the mutual fund industry; (ii) experience as a director or senior officer of public companies; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation
for high ethical standards and professional integrity; (v) specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the individual
or other experience or background of the individual, and the extent to which such expertise, experience or background would complement
the Board members’ existing mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications and diversity of experiences and background; (vi)
perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly
and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the ability to qualify as a noninterested Trustee for purposes of the
1940 Act and any other actual or potential conflicts of interest involving the individual and each Fund; and (viii) such other factors
as the Board determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies.
Among the attributes or skills common to all Board members are their ability to review
critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other members of the Board,
management, sub-advisers, other service providers, counsel and independent registered public accounting firms, and to exercise effective
and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as members of the Board. Each Board member’s ability to perform
his or her duties effectively has been attained through the Board member’s business, consulting, public service and/or academic
positions and through experience from service as a member of the Boards of the Eaton Vance family of funds (“Eaton Vance Fund Boards”)
(and/or in other capacities, including for any predecessor funds), public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations as
set forth below. Each Board member’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively also has been enhanced by his or her educational
background, professional training, and/or other life experiences.
In respect of each current member of the Board, the individual’s substantial
professional accomplishments and experience, including in fields related to the operations of registered investment companies, were a
significant factor in the determination that the individual should serve as a member of the Board. The following is a summary of each
Board member’s particular professional experience and additional considerations that contributed to the Board’s conclusion

and the Board.

committee financial experts” as that term is defined in the applicable SEC rules. Each Audit Committee member is independent
under applicable listing standards of the NYSE American LLC or New York Stock Exchange (as applicable). The purposes of the Audit
Committee are to (i) oversee each Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, its internal control over financial
reporting, and, as appropriate, the internal control over financial reporting of certain service providers; (ii) oversee or, as
appropriate, assist Board oversight of the quality and integrity of each Fund’s financial statements and the independent audit

of the Fund. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Audit Committee, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit A. The Audit Committee’s Report is set forth below under “Additional Information.”
Messrs. Fetting (Chairperson), Bowser, Gorman, Quinton, Smith and Wennerholm and Mses.
Frost, Mosley, Stefani and Sutherland are members of the Contract Review Committee. The purposes of the Contract Review Committee are
to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board concerning the following matters: (i) contractual arrangements with each
service provider to each Fund, including advisory, sub-advisory, transfer agency, custodial and fund accounting, distribution services
(if any) and
| 7 | Proxy Statement dated November 26, 2024 |
administrative services; (ii) any and all other matters in which any of each Fund’s
service providers (including Eaton Vance or any affiliated entity thereof) has an actual or potential conflict of interest with the interests
of the Fund or its shareholders; and (iii) any other matter appropriate for review by the noninterested Trustees, unless the matter is
within the responsibilities of other Committees of the Board.
Messrs. Smith (Chairperson), Bowser and Wennerholm and Mses. Frost and Mosley are
members of the Portfolio Management Committee. The purposes of the Portfolio Management Committee are to: (i) assist the Board in its
oversight of the portfolio management process employed by each Fund and their investment adviser and sub-adviser(s), if applicable, relative

results of all funds, giving special attention to the performance of certain funds that it or the Board of Trustees identifies from time

of the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee. The purposes of the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee are
to: (i) assist the Board in its oversight role with respect to compliance issues and certain other regulatory matters affecting the Funds;
(ii) serve as a liaison between the Board of Trustees and the Funds’ CCO; and (iii) serve as a “qualified legal compliance
committee” within the rules promulgated by the SEC.
Messrs. Quinton (Chairperson) and Fetting and Ms. Sutherland are members of the Closed-End
Fund Committee. The purpose of the Closed-End Fund Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board with respect
to issues specifically related to Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds.
Mses. Mosley (Chairperson), Frost, Stefani and Sutherland and Messrs. Bowser, Fetting,
Gorman, Quinton, Smith and Wennerholm are members of the Governance Committee. Each Governance Committee member is independent under
applicable listing standards of the NYSE American LLC or New York Stock Exchange (as applicable). The purpose of the Governance Committee
is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the structure, membership and operation of the Board and
the Committees thereof, including the nomination and selection of noninterested Trustees and a Chairperson of the Board and the compensation
of such persons.
Each Fund’s Board has adopted a written charter for its Governance Committee,
a copy of which is available on the Eaton Vance website, https://www.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-and-term-trust-documents.php. The
Governance Committee identifies candidates by obtaining referrals from such sources as it deems appropriate, which may include current
Trustees, management of the Fund, counsel and other advisors to the Trustees, and shareholders of the Funds who submit recommendations
in accordance with the procedures described in the Committee’s charter. In no event shall the Governance Committee consider as
a candidate to fill any vacancy an individual recommended by management of the Funds, unless the Governance Committee has invited management
to make such a recommendation. The Governance Committee will, when a vacancy exists, consider a nominee for Trustee recommended by a
shareholder, provided that such recommendation is submitted in writing to the Fund’s Secretary at the principal executive office
of the Fund. Such recommendations must be accompanied by biographical and occupational data on the candidate (including whether the candidate
would be an “interested person” of the Fund), a written consent by the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as
Trustee if elected, record and ownership information for the recommending shareholder with respect to the Fund, and a description of
any arrangements or understandings regarding recommendation of the candidate for consideration. The Governance Committee’s procedures
for evaluating candidates for the position of noninterested Trustee are set forth in an appendix to the Committee’s charter.
The Governance Committee does not have a formal policy to consider diversity when
identifying candidates for the position of noninterested Trustee. Rather, as a matter of practice, the Committee considers the overall
diversity of the Board’s composition when identifying candidates. Specifically, the Committee considers how a particular candidate
could be expected to contribute to overall diversity in the backgrounds, skills and experiences of the Board’s members and thereby
enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Six of the ten currently serving independent Trustees bring gender and/or racial diversity to
the Board. In addition, as part of its annual self-evaluation, the Board has an opportunity to consider the diversity of its members,
including specifically whether the Board’s members have the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills. The results of
the self-evaluation are considered by the Governance Committee in its decision-making process with respect to candidates for the position
of noninterested Trustee.

communication to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, the Chairperson of any Committee of the Board of Trustees or to the noninterested

Remuneration of Trustees

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 (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). Under the Deferred Compensation
Plan, an eligible Trustee may elect to have his or her deferred fees invested in the shares of one or more funds in the Eaton Vance family
of funds, and the amount paid to the Trustees under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be determined based upon the performance of such
investments. Deferral of Trustees’ fees in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan will have a negligible effect on the
assets, liabilities, and net income of a participating Fund, 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 pension or retirement plan for its Trustees.
The Board
recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee nominees of each Fund.
OTHER
MATTERS
The Board
knows of no business other than that identified in Proposal 1 of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders that will be presented

in accordance with their judgment.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
Audit
Committee Report
Each Audit
Committee reviews and discusses the audited financial statements with Fund management. Each Audit Committee also discusses with the independent
registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as modified or
supplemented. Each Audit Committee receives the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting
firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented,
and discusses with the independent registered public accounting firm 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 filing with the SEC. As mentioned, the Audit Committee is currently
comprised of Messrs. Wennerholm (Chairperson), Gorman and Quinton and Ms. Stefani.
| 9 | Proxy Statement dated November 26, 2024 |
Auditors,
Audit Fees and All Other Fees
The Board
members, including a majority of the noninterested Trustees, of each Fund have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”),
115 Federal Street, Suite 15, Boston, Massachusetts 02110-1894, as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. Representatives
of Deloitte are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire
to do so and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.
Aggregate
audit, audit-related, tax, and other fees billed to each Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the
relevant periods are set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services)
billed for the relevant periods to (i) each Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) the Eaton
Vance organization by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm are also set forth on Exhibit B hereto.
Each Fund’s
Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the Fund’s independent
registered public accounting firm (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended
to assist the Audit Committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies
(i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; and
(ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit
and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved
by the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed
and ratified by each Fund’s Audit Committee at least annually. Each Fund’s Audit Committee maintains full responsibility
for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Each Fund’s
Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services
to the Fund’s investment adviser, as well as any of its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Fund, that were not pre-approved
pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s
independence.

Proxy
Solicitation, Tabulation and Voting Requirements
The expense
of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and enclosures and the costs of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board 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 or facsimile
by officers of a Fund, by personnel of its administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, by broker-dealer
firms, or by a professional solicitation organization. The expenses associated with the solicitation of these proxies and with any further
proxies will be borne by the applicable Fund. A written proxy may be delivered to a Fund or its transfer agent prior to the Annual Meeting
by facsimile machine, graphic communication equipment or similar electronic transmission. A Fund will reimburse banks, broker-dealer
firms, and other persons holding 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 proxy solicitation costs are approximately
$54,100 and will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder accounts.
All proxy
cards solicited by the Board that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting, and which are not
revoked, will be voted at the Annual 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. (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, which will be treated as shares that are present at
the Annual Meeting but which have not been voted, will assist a Fund in obtaining a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of
Proposal 1.
A quorum
requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund entitled to vote. In the event that
a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but sufficient votes by the
shareholders of a Fund FOR the Proposal set forth in the Notice of this Annual Meeting are not received by that time on January 8,
2025, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies. 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 Annual Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote FOR such adjournment
those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR any Trustee nominee. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies
that voted “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR ALL NOMINEES” (sometimes referred to as abstentions). The costs of any such
additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the Funds.
Pursuant
to each Fund’s By-Laws, with respect to any election of Trustees other than a contested election, a nominee must receive the affirmative
vote of a plurality of votes cast at any meeting at which a quorum is present to be elected. A plurality means that the Trustee nominee
receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. With respect to a contested election, a nominee must receive the affirmative
vote of a majority of a Fund’s shares outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to such nominee in order to be elected. The
By-Laws define a “contested election” as any election of Trustees in which the number of persons validly nominated for election
as Trustees with respect to a given class or classes of Fund shares exceeds the number of Trustees to be elected with respect to such
class or classes. See Proposal 1 for the vote required to elect Trustees at the Annual Meeting.

Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Based solely
upon a review of the copies of the forms received by the Funds, all of the Trustees and officers of each Fund, Eaton Vance and its affiliates,
and any person who owns more than ten percent of a Fund’s outstanding securities have complied with the filings required under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act regarding ownership of shares of the Funds for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year endDue to
inadvertant adminstrative errors, with respect to each Fund, a late Form 3 was filed on behalf of Alan Bowser for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2023.
Each
Fund will furnish without charge a copy of its most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to any shareholder upon request.
Shareholders desiring to obtain a copy of such reports should call 1-866-745-0272, send an email to corporateservices@equiniti.com
or write to the Fund c/o EQ Fund Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 500, Newark, NJ 07101. Please note that only one Annual or Semi-Annual
Report or this proxy statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to two or more shareholders of
a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. Shareholder reports are also available on
the Eaton Vance website at https://funds.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-and-term-trust-documents.php.
SHAREHOLDER
PROPOSALS
To be considered
for presentation at a Fund’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under
the Exchange Act must be received at the Fund’s principal office c/o the Secretary of the Fund on or before July 29, 2025. Written
notice of a shareholder proposal submitted outside of the processes of Rule 14a-8 must be delivered to the Fund’s principal office
c/o the Secretary of the Fund no later than the close of business on October 10, 2025 and no earlier than the close of business on September
10, 2025. In order to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy, a shareholder proposal must comply with all
applicable legal requirements. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included.

EATON VANCE FUNDS
AUDIT
COMMITTEE CHARTER
I. Purposes of the Committee.
The Board
of Trustees or Directors (the “Board”) of each registered investment company or series thereof advised by Eaton Vance Management
or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (collectively, “Eaton Vance”) (each, a “Fund,” and collectively,
the “Funds”), has established an Audit Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) and has approved this Charter
for the operation of the Committee. The purposes of the Committee are as follows:
| 1. | To
oversee each Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, its internal control
over financial reporting, and, as appropriate, the internal control over financial reporting
of certain service providers; |
| 2. | To
oversee or, as appropriate, assist the Board in its oversight of the quality and integrity
of the Funds’ financial statements and the independent audits thereof; |
| 3. | To
oversee or, as appropriate, assist the Board in its oversight of the Funds’ compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Funds’ accounting and financial
reporting, internal control over financial reporting, independent audits, and valuation of
investments; |
| 4. | To
approve prior to appointment the engagement and, when appropriate, replacement of the independent
registered public accountants (“independent auditors”), and, if applicable, nominate
independent auditors to be proposed for shareholder ratification in any proxy statement of
a Fund; |
| 5. | To
evaluate or, as appropriate, assist the Board in its evaluation of the qualifications, independence
and performance of the independent auditors and the audit partner in charge of leading the
audit; and |
| 6. | To
prepare, as necessary, such audit committee reports as are required to be prepared by applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American,”
formerly NYSE MKT LLC) and New York Stock Exchange rules, for inclusion in the proxy statement
for the annual meeting of shareholders of a Fund. |
The
primary function of the Committee is oversight. The Committee is not responsible for managing the Funds or for performing tasks that
are delegated to the officers of any Fund, any investment adviser to a Fund, the custodian of a Fund, and other service providers
for the Funds, including the independent auditors, and nothing in this Charter shall be construed to reduce the responsibilities or
liabilities of management or the Funds’ service providers. It is management’s responsibility to maintain appropriate
systems for accounting and internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management is responsible for: (1) the
preparation, presentation and integrity of the financial statements of each Fund; (2) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and
financial reporting principles and policies; and (3) the maintenance of internal control over financial reporting and other
procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and related laws and regulations. The independent auditors are
responsible for planning and carrying out an audit consistent with applicable legal and professional standards and the terms of
their engagement letter, and shall report directly to the Committee. In performing its oversight function, the Committee shall be
entitled to rely upon advice and information that it receives in its discussions and communications with management, the independent
auditors and such experts, advisors and professionals as may be consulted by the Committee.
II. Composition of the Committee.
The
Committee shall be comprised of at least three members appointed by the Board, which shall also determine the number and term, if
any, of such members, in each case upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee of the Board. All members of the Committee
shall be Trustees or Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”)) of any Fund or of the investment adviser, sub-adviser or principal underwriter of any Fund
(each, an “Independent Trustee,” and collectively, the “Independent Trustees”). In the event that a
resignation, retirement, removal or other event or circumstance causes the number of Committee members to fall below the minimum set
forth above, the Committee shall nevertheless be authorized to take any and all actions otherwise permitted under this Charter
pending the appointment, within a reasonable time, of one or more Independent Trustees to fill the vacancy created
thereby.
The following
requirements shall also be satisfied with respect to the membership and composition of the Committee:
| 1. | each
member of the Committee shall have no material relationship that would interfere with the
exercise of his or her independent judgment; |
| 2. | no
member of the Committee shall receive any compensation from a Fund except compensation for
service as a member or Chairperson of the Board or of a committee of the Board; |
| 3. | each
member of the Committee shall also satisfy the Committee membership requirements imposed
under the applicable rules of NYSE American and New York Stock Exchange (and any other national
securities exchange on which a Fund’s shares are listed), as in effect from time to
time, including with respect to the member’s former affiliations or employment and
financial literacy; |
| 4. | at
least one member of the Committee must have the accounting or related financial management
expertise and/or financial sophistication required under applicable rules of the NYSE American
and New York Stock Exchange; and |
| 5. | unless
it determines that no member of the Committee qualifies as an audit committee financial expert
as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR, the Board will identify one (or in its discretion, more
than one) member of the Committee as an audit committee financial expert. |
III. Meetings of the Committee.
Meetings
of the Committee shall be held, upon reasonable notice, at such times (but not less frequently than annually with respect to each
Fund), at such places and for such purposes (consistent with the purposes of the Committee set forth in this Charter) as may be
determined from time to time by the Committee, the Chairperson of the Committee, the Board or the Chairperson of the Board. The
Committee shall periodically meet separately with any independent auditors rendering reports to the Committee. A majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting, and the decision of a majority of
the members present and voting at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall determine any matter submitted to a vote. The
Committee may adopt such procedures or rules not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Charter as it deems appropriate to
govern its conduct under this Charter, which procedures or rules, if any, shall be included as an appendix to this Charter. Notices
of all meetings of the Committee shall be provided to all Independent Trustees and all Independent Trustees shall be entitled to
attend such meetings. Materials provided to the members of the Committee in connection with meetings of the Committee shall be made
available to each Independent Trustee.
IV. Chairperson of the Committee.
A member
of the Committee shall be appointed Chairperson of the Committee by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee,
for a term of not more than four years, and such member may serve as Chairperson of the Committee for more than one term. The
Chairperson of the Committee, or another member of the Committee designated by the Chairperson shall preside at meetings of the
Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee shall be authorized to determine the agenda of such meetings, the materials to be
provided in connection with such meetings, the topics to be discussed, the amount of time to be devoted to such topics and the order
in which the topics are to be addressed. The Chairperson of the Committee may from time to time establish one or more working groups
comprised of members of the Committee to assist the Chairperson and the Committee in performing their duties and responsibilities,
and shall promptly notify the Chairperson of the Board upon the establishment of any such working group. The Chairperson of the
Committee shall provide oral or written reports to the Board at regular meetings of the Board regarding the activities of the
Committee (and any working group thereof), including any approval by the Chairperson of the Board of expenditures by the Committee
not previously reported to the Board. The Chairperson of the Committee shall be primarily responsible for interfacing with the
Chairperson of the Board and with the Chairperson of each other committee of the Board with respect to matters potentially affecting
the activities of the Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee shall also be primarily responsible, on behalf of the Committee,
for interfacing with those individuals identified by Eaton Vance from time to time as being primarily responsible for responding to
requests of the Committee. The Board may, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, appoint a Vice-Chairperson of the
Committee with the power and authority to perform any or all of the duties and responsibilities of the Chairperson of the Committee
in the absence of the Chairperson of the Committee and/or as requested by the Chairperson of the Committee. The Chairperson and
Vice-Chairperson, if any, of the Committee shall receive such compensation as is determined from time to time by the Board upon the
recommendation of the Governance Committee.
V. Duties and Responsibilities of the Committee.
To carry
out its purposes, the Committee shall have the following duties and responsibilities:
| 1. | With
respect to each Fund the securities of which are listed on a national securities exchange,
to meet to review and discuss with management and the independent auditors the audited financial
statements and other periodic financial statements of the Fund (including the Fund’s
specific disclosures under the item “Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance”);
provided that discussion with the independent auditors shall not be required with respect
to any periodic financial statement of the Fund that was not the subject of a review by such
auditors. |
| 2. | To
consider the results of the examination of the Fund’s financial statements by the independent
auditors, the independent auditors’ opinion with respect thereto, and any management
letter issued by the independent auditors. |
| 3. | To
review and discuss with the independent auditors: (a) the scope of audits and audit reports
and the policies relating to internal auditing procedures and controls and the accounting
principles employed in the Fund’s financial reports and any proposed changes therein;
(b) the personnel, staffing, qualifications and experience of the independent auditors; and
(c) the compensation of the independent auditors. |
| 4. | To
review and assess the performance of the independent auditors and to approve, on behalf of
the Board, the engagement and compensation of the independent auditors and to recommend the
appointment and selection to the Board for approval. Approval by the Committee shall be in
addition to any approval required under applicable law by a majority
of the members of the Board who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.
In performing this function, the Committee shall: (a) discuss with the independent auditors matters bearing upon the qualifications of
such auditors as “independent” under applicable standards of independence established from time to time by the SEC, the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory authorities; and (b) shall secure from the independent auditors the information
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as in effect from time to time.
The Committee shall actively engage in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any disclosed relationships or services
that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors. |
| 5. | To
pre-approve: (a) audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the
Fund; and (b) non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the adviser or any
other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser that provides
on-going services to the Fund (“Adviser Affiliates”) if the engagement of the
independent auditors relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund,
as contemplated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”)
and the rules issued by the SEC in connection therewith (except, in the case of non-audit
services provided to the Fund or any Adviser Affiliate, those within applicable de minimis
statutory or regulatory exceptions), and to consider the possible effect of providing such
services on the independence of the independent auditors. |
| 6. | To
adopt, if and to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, policies and procedures
for pre-approval of the audit or non-audit services referred to above, including policies
and procedures by which the Committee may delegate to one or more of its members authority
to grant such pre-approval on behalf of the Committee (subject to subsequent reporting to
the Committee). Separate and apart from any such policies and procedures, the Committee hereby
delegates to each of its members the authority to pre-approve any non-audit services referred
to above between meetings of the Committee, provided that: (i) all reasonable efforts shall
be made to obtain such pre-approval from the Chairperson of the Committee or a Vice-Chairperson,
if any, prior to seeking such pre-approval from any other member of the Committee; and (ii)
all such pre-approvals shall be reported to the Committee not later than the next meeting
thereof. |
| 7. | To
consider the controls implemented by the independent auditors and any measures taken by management
to ensure that all items requiring pre-approval by the Committee are identified and referred
to the Committee in a timely fashion. |
| 8. | To
timely receive reports from such independent auditors of: (i) all critical accounting policies
and practices used by the Fund (or, in connection with any update, any changes in such accounting

that have been discussed with management since the last annual report or update, including
the ramifications of the use of the alternative treatments and the treatment preferred by
the accounting firm, (iii) all other material written communications between the independent
auditors and the management of the Fund since the last quarterly report or update, (iv) a
description of all non-audit services provided, including fees associated with the services,
to any fund complex of which the Fund is a part since the last annual report or update that
was not subject to the pre-approval requirements as discussed above; and (v) any other matters
of concern relating to the Fund’s financial statements, including any uncorrected misstatements
(or audit differences) whose effects management believes are immaterial, both individually
and in aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. |
| 9. | To
review and discuss with the independent auditors the matters required to be communicated
with respect to the Fund pursuant to applicable auditing standards, as in effect from time
to time, and to receive such other communications or reports from the independent auditors
(and management’s responses to such reports or communications) as may be required under
applicable listing standards of the national securities exchanges on which the Fund’s
shares are listed, including a report describing: (1) the internal quality-control procedures
of the independent auditors, any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control
review, or peer review, of the independent auditors, or by any inquiry or investigation by
governmental or professional regulatory authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting
one or more independent audits carried out by the independent auditors, and any steps taken
to deal with any such issues; and (2) all relationships between the independent auditors
and the Fund and any other relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and
independence of the independent auditors. To the extent unresolved disagreements exist between
management and the independent auditors regarding the financial reporting of the Fund, it
shall be the responsibility of the Committee to resolve such disagreements. |
| 10. | To
consider and review with the independent auditors any reports of audit problems or difficulties
that may have arisen in the course of the audit, including any limitations on the scope of
the audit, and management’s response thereto. |
| 11. | To
establish hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors who
will serve as officers or employees of the Fund, a copy of which is attached as Appendix

| 12. | With
respect to each Fund the securities of which are listed on a national securities exchange,
to: (a) provide a recommendation to the Board regarding whether the audited financial statements
of the Fund should be included in the annual report to shareholders of the Fund; and (b)
prepare an audit committee report consistent with the requirements of applicable regulations
under Regulation S-K for inclusion in the proxy statement for the Fund’s annual meeting
of shareholders. |
| 13. | To
discuss generally the Fund’s earnings releases, as well as financial information and
guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies, in the event a Fund issues any such releases

consider the Fund’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken
to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process
by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. |

review and report to the Board with respect to any material accounting, tax, valuation, or
record-keeping issues that may affect the Fund, its respective financial statements or the
amount of their dividend or distribution rates. |
| 16. | To
establish procedures for: (a) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received
by the Fund regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and
(b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Fund or its service providers

provider of accounting related services to the Fund) of concerns regarding questionable accounting
or auditing matters, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. |
| 17. | To
direct and supervise investigations with respect to the following: (a) evidence of fraud
or significant deficiencies in the design or implementation of internal controls reported
to the Committee by the principal executive or financial officers of the Fund pursuant to

and Procedures. |
| 19. | To
coordinate its activities with the other committees of the Board as necessary or appropriate
to carry out its purposes effectively and efficiently, and to communicate with such other
committees regarding matters that the Committee or such other committees may wish to consider
in exercising their respective powers. |

duties and responsibilities hereunder at least annually, and to make recommendations to the
Board for any appropriate changes or other action. |
| 21. | To
take such other actions as may be requested by the Board or Chairperson of the Board from
time to time consistent with carrying out the purposes of the Committee. |
VI. Powers and Authority of the Committee.
In performing
its duties and responsibilities, the Committee shall have the following powers and authority:
| 1. | To
make recommendations to the Board with respect to any of the foregoing matters and such other

Security Voting Rights [Text Block] |
Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date of October 29, 2024, are
entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at
the Annual Meeting. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will
authorize the persons named on the respective proxy card enclosed as proxies, or any of them, to vote FOR the election of each Trustee.
An executed proxy delivered to a Fund is revocable by the person giving it, prior to its exercise, by a signed writing filed with the
Fund’s Secretary, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting the shares at
the Annual Meeting. Merely attending the Annual Meeting will not revoke a previously executed proxy. If you hold Fund shares through
an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, adviser or custodian), please consult with the intermediary regarding your ability to revoke
voting instructions after they have been provided.
If you are a record holder of Fund shares and plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you
must show a valid photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. Please call 1-800-262-1122
for information on how to obtain directions to be able to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary and plan to attend and vote at the
Annual Meeting, you will be required to show a valid photo identification and your authority to vote your shares (referred to as a “legal
proxy”) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. As described above, you must contact your intermediary to obtain a legal proxy
for your shares.
PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Each Fund’s Agreement and 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 ten. Under the terms of each Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees
is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years to expire on the date of the third Annual Meeting following its
election.
Proxies will be voted for the election of the following nominees:
| a. | For
Limited Duration Income Fund, three Class I Trustees, Cynthia E. Frost, Valerie A. Mosley,
and Scott E. Wennerholm, to be elected by the holders of the Fund’s Common Shares and
APS, voting together as a single class; and: |
| b. | For
National Municipal Opportunities Trust, three Class I Trustees, Valerie A. Mosley, Susan
J. Sutherland, and Scott E. Wennerholm, to be elected by the shareholders of the Fund’s
Common Shares. |
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee
nominees of each Fund.
Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee of his or her respective Fund 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. Election
of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement.
Each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares
of the Fund entitled to vote. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. No nominee is
a party adverse to his or her respective Fund or any of its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee
have an interest materially adverse to such Fund.
Under the terms of Limited Duration Income Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws,
as amended, 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 the Fund. There are no Trustees nominated for election by holders of Limited Duration Income Fund’s APS at this meeting. Limited
Duration Income Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws further provide for the election of the nominees named above by the holders
of the Common Shares and the APS, voting together as a single class.
