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 adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. 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 Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, was marked by strong performance across the municipal bond market, with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index),2 a broad measure of the asset class, returning 8.65%. The municipal bond yield curve9 experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. With investors searching for yield in a low-rate environment, lower rated7 bonds generally outperformed higher rated bonds, while longer duration10 issues outperformed shorter duration issues.
As the period opened on February 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. Following its December 19, 2018 federal funds rate hike the last one on record the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its projected number of rate increases for 2019 from three to two, which some investors viewed as indicating weakness in the U.S. economy. The result was a flight to quality by investors seeking the relative safety of fixed-income securities over stocks, initiating a bond rally that pushed longer term bond prices up and yields down.
The fixed-income rally continued through the spring and summer of 2019, propelled by lower-than-desired inflation, low European interest rates, on-again/off-again trade-conflict rhetoric, and Fed comments in March that were more dovish than the market had expected leading many investors to conclude that further rate hikes were off the table for 2019. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the period, the Fed cut the federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade on July 31, 2019, followed by two more rate cuts in September and October to end the period at 1.50%-1.75%.
In the middle and long portions of the yield curve where rates are influenced more by the market than the Fed rates bottomed at the beginning of September. From September 3 through the end of December, U.S. and European interest rates trended modestly upward, amid better-than-expected U.S. employment reports and cautious optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente.
Two events in the final month of the period, January 2020, raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans top military commander by a U.S. drone strike briefly raised the specter of a U.S.-Iran military conflict. More lasting was the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which threatened to slow global economic growth for possibly months.
Within the municipal bond market, technical factors amplified the price rally during the period. The 2017 tax law changes resulted
in a combination of lower supply of new municipal issues and increased demand from high-income investors in high-tax states who had seen their tax bills rise under the revised code.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) returned 10.55% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), outperforming the 8.65% return of the Funds benchmark, the Index.
The Fund primarily invests in high yield municipal obligations defined as securities rated BBB and below whereas the Index, reflecting the broad municipal market, had a significantly smaller weight in BBB-rated and below-investment-grade issues throughout the period.
As interest rates declined during the period in an already low-rate environment, high yield municipal bonds experienced increased demand from investors searching for yield. This led to strong inflows into high yield municipal funds and put upward pressure on high yield bond prices. As a result, high yield municipal bonds generally outperformed investment-grade municipal bonds during the period.
The Fund may seek to enhance tax-exempt income through the use of leveraged investments by purchasing residual interest bonds.6 Leverage has the effect of magnifying the Funds exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. During this period of strong performance by high yield municipal bonds, leverage contributed to performance relative to the Index, which does not employ leverage.
Additional contributors to performance versus the Index included an overweight position, relative to the Index, in Illinois bonds; security selection and an overweight position in BBB-rated bonds; and security selection and an overweight position in bonds with 17 or more years remaining to maturity, during a period when longer maturity bonds in general outperformed shorter maturity bonds.
In contrast, detractors from Fund performance relative to the Index included an overweight position in prefunded, or escrowed, bonds; security selection in the water and sewer sector; and the Funds hedging strategy, which uses Treasury futures to mitigate interest rate volatility. As a risk-management tactic within the Funds overall strategy, interest rate hedging is intended to moderate performance in both up and down markets. During a period when the Fund delivered positive returns, the Funds hedging strategy mitigated some of that upside performance and, thus, detracted from overall Fund results relative to the unhedged Index.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, 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 views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as forward-looking statements. The Funds actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Funds filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |

Source: Fund prospectus. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |
5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099- DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not |
include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 |
Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. |
7 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as Not Rated (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
8 |
The chart includes the municipal bonds held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds, consistent with the Portfolio of Investments. |
9 |
Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term interest rates fall and/or short-term interest rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term interest rates increase and/or short-term interest rates fall. |
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. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2019 January 31, 2020).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

High Yield Municipal Income Fund
January 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund primarily invests in high yield municipal obligations with maturities of ten years or more. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. The Fund previously offered Class B shares, which beginning January 1, 2012, were only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. At the close of business on August 15, 2019, Class B shares were converted to Class A shares and Class B was terminated. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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.
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.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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 securitys fair value, which is 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 securitys 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 companys or entitys 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2020, 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.
D Expenses The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements continued
F 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.
G Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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 Funds 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.
H Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held The Fund may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby the Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond for cash to a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), while at the same time, buying a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of the SPV. The bond is deposited into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the SPV by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the Bond held by the SPV transferred to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the SPV the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Fund accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in its Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption Payable for floating rate notes issued in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the SPV for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at January 31, 2020. Interest expense related to the Funds liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At January 31, 2020, the amount of the Funds Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the related collateral were $90,545,239 and $139,618,499, respectively. The range of interest rates on the Floating Rate Notes outstanding at January 31, 2020 was 0.97% to 1.09%. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Funds average settled Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were $88,155,096 and 1.89%, respectively.
In certain circumstances, the Fund may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with brokers by which the Fund agrees to reimburse the broker for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Fund had no shortfalls as of January 31, 2020.
The Fund may also purchase residual interest bonds in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds investment policies do not allow the Fund to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
I Financial Futures Contracts Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.

J When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 48,191,611 | $ | 39,832,090 | ||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 3,971,233 | $ | 3,679,969 |
As of January 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 2,999,612 | ||
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (51,689,146 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 127,313,605 | ||
Distributions payable |
$ | (650,056 | ) |
At January 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $51,689,146 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2020, $12,104,031 are short-term and $39,585,115 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at January 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 1,302,743,147 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 133,168,253 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
(5,854,648 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation |

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreements between the Fund and BMR, the fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Daily Net Assets |
Annual Asset Rate |
Daily Income Rate |
||||||
Up to $500 million |
0.3150 | % | 3.1500 | % | ||||
$500 million but less than $750 million |
0.2925 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$750 million but less than $1 billion |
0.2700 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$1 billion but less than $1.5 billion |
0.2700 | 2.7000 |
On average daily net assets of $1.5 billion or more, the rates are further reduced. The fee reductions cannot be terminated without the consent of a majority of the Trustees and a majority of shareholders. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the investment adviser fee amounted to $5,385,252 or 0.42% of the Funds average daily net assets. EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended January 31, 2020, EVM earned $20,659 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $68,645 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with the investment adviser 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 year ended January 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2020 amounted to $955,806 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class C shares (Class C Plan) and prior to August 16, 2019, Class B shares (Class B Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund paid/pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $777 and $1,009,424 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund also made/makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended January 31, 2020 amounted to $259 and $336,475 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d) and for Class B, were further limited to a 5% maximum sales charge as determined in accordance with such rule.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase and prior to August 16, 2019, on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares was imposed at declining rates that began at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $200 and $11,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, and no CDSCs paid by Class B shareholders.

8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2020.
9 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31, 2020 is included in the Portfolio of Investments. At January 31, 2020, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund enters into U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at January 31, 2020 was as follows:
Fair Value | ||||||||
Derivative | Asset Derivative | Liability Derivative(1) | ||||||
Futures Contracts |
$ | | $ | (881,820 | ) |
(1) |
Only the current days variation margin on open futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open financial futures contracts, as applicable. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk for the year ended January 31, 2020 was as follows:
Derivative |
Realized Gain (Loss)
on Derivatives Recognized in Income(1) |
Change in Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income(2) |
||||||
Futures Contracts |

(1) |
Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) Financial futures contracts. |
(2) |
Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) Financial futures contracts. |
The average notional cost of futures contracts (short) outstanding during the year ended January 31, 2020, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $39,447,000.
10 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 funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
29 |
Eaton Vance
High Yield Municipal Income Fund
January 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
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.
At January 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities |

11 Subsequent Event
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Funds. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, was marked by strong performance across the municipal bond market, with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,2 a broad measure of the asset class, returning 8.65%. The municipal bond yield curve7 experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. With investors searching for yield in a low-rate environment, lower rated6 bonds generally outperformed higher rated bonds, while longer duration8 issues outperformed shorter duration issues.
As the period opened on February 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. Following its December 19, 2018 federal funds rate hike the last one on record the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its projected number of rate increases for 2019 from three to two, which some investors viewed as indicating weakness in the U.S. economy. The result was a flight to quality by investors seeking the relative safety of fixed-income securities over stocks, initiating a bond rally that pushed longer term bond prices up and yields down.
The fixed-income rally continued through the spring and summer of 2019, propelled by lower-than-desired inflation, low European interest rates, on-again/off-again trade-conflict rhetoric, and Fed comments in March that were more dovish than the market had expected leading many investors to conclude that further rate hikes were off the table for 2019. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the period, the Fed cut the federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade on July 31, 2019, followed by two more rate cuts in September and October to end the period at 1.50%-1.75%.
In the middle and long portions of the yield curve where rates are influenced more by the market than the Fed rates bottomed at the beginning of September. From September 3 through the end of December, U.S. and European interest rates trended modestly upward, amid better-than-expected U.S. employment reports and cautious optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente.
Two events in the final month of the period, January 2020, raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans top military commander by a U.S. drone strike briefly raised the specter of a U.S.-Iran military conflict. More lasting was the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which threatened to slow global economic growth for possibly months.
Within the municipal bond market, technical factors amplified the price rally during the period. The 2017 tax law changes resulted in a combination of lower supply of new municipal issues and increased demand from high-income investors in high-tax states who had seen their tax bills rise under the revised code.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund returned 4.56% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1-7 Year Bond Index (the 1-7 Year Index), which returned 4.90%.
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund returned 7.15% for Class A shares at NAV, underperforming its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 1-17 Year Bond Index (the 1-17 Year Index; and together with the 1-7 Year Index, the Indexes), which returned 8.01%.
The Indexes are unmanaged, and returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges, commissions, or expenses.
The Parametric TABS Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Funds (the Funds) seek after-tax total return. The Funds generally invest in investment-grade municipal securities of limited or intermediate duration, as applicable. Management pursues after-tax total return through relative-value trading, a strategy that seeks to take advantage of price and rate differences among similar securities. With respect to 20% of each Funds net assets, management may also strive to add value by crossing over from tax-free municipals to U.S. government bonds or taxable municipal bonds, and vice versa, according to which sector is perceived to be more attractively valued on an after-tax basis.
Fund-Specific Results
For Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, an overweight position in floating-rate notes, which were not represented in the 1-7 Year Index, and which underperformed that benchmark during the period, was the main detractor from relative results.
In contrast, active security selection (managements work with credit analysts to select sectors, issuers, and individual bonds to invest in), relative-value trading (a strategy that seeks to take advantage of price and rate differences among similar securities), and yield-curve positioning contributed to Fund performance versus the 1-7 Year Index during the period.
With regard to yield-curve positioning, the 1-7 Year Index held only bonds with maturities of 1-7 years, whereas the Fund also held bonds in the longer maturity 8-10 year area of the curve. During the period, longer maturity bonds experienced greater rate declines and price increases i.e., stronger performance than shorter maturity issues. As a result, the Funds yield-curve positioning, including out-of-Index holdings on the longer part of the curve, contributed to Fund performance versus the 1-7 Year Index.
The Funds crossover-trading strategy was employed only minimally during the period and did not have a material impact on performance relative to the 1-7 Year Index.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, 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.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1 continued
Fund-Specific Results continued
For Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund, duration and yield-curve positioning detracted from Fund performance versus the 1-17 Year Index. The Fund had a shorter average duration than the 1-17 Year Index and, therefore, benefited less when rates fell and bond prices rose during the period.
With regard to yield-curve positioning, the Fund had holdings in bonds with 0-1 year remaining to maturity an area of the yield curve not represented in the 1-17 Year Index and an overweight position in bonds with 1-2 years remaining to maturity. As bonds in those maturity ranges underperformed longer maturity bonds during the period, the Funds yield-curve positioning detracted from relative results.
In contrast, active security selection, relative-value trading, and credit quality contributed to Fund performance versus the 1-17 Year Index. The Funds lower average credit quality helped relative performance during the period, as lower rated bonds generally outperformed higher rated issues. The Fund was overweight in lower quality, better-performing A-rated bonds, and underweight in higher quality AAA- and AA-rated issues, versus the 1-17 Year Index.
Late in the period, the Fund implemented its crossover-trading strategy by changing some of the Funds holdings from tax-free municipal bonds to taxable municipal bonds in order to take advantage of lower, more attractive valuations in the taxable municipal market. This strategy offered a modest benefit to relative performance during the period.

Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money 17 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 17 year maturity component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Bloomberg Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 4-6 years. Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 117 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 117 year maturity component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Bloomberg Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 6-8 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Funds or oldest share class inception, as applicable. After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions, including using the highest individual federal income tax rates in effect at the time of the distributions and do not reflect the impact of state/local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholders tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or shares held by nontaxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares. |
4 |
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios for Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 5/31/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |
5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains |
and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. |
The Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. |
6 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as Not Rated (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
7 |
Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term interest rates fall and/or short-term interest rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term interest rates increase and/or short-term interest rates fall. |
8 |
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. |
Fund profiles subject to change due to active management. |
Important Notice to Shareholders
Effective September 30, 2019, the Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund changed its primary benchmark from Bloomberg Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index to Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money 17 Year Bond Index because the investment adviser believes that the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1-7 Year Bond Index better reflects the duration and maturity profile of the investments held by the Fund.
Each Funds investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management (EVM), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (EVC). Effective January 15, 2020, the Board of Trustees of each Fund approved the delegation of the day-to-day investment management of each Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC. On such date, Parametric became the sub-adviser of each Fund. Accordingly, effective January 15, 2020, the names of Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund were changed from Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund, respectively. There has been no change in portfolio management for each Fund. Each Funds portfolio managers from EVM became employees of Parametric in connection with these changes.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2019 January 31, 2020).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of six funds, two of which, each diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund) (Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund) and Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund) (Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds investment objective is to seek after-tax total return. The Funds offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each 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.
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.
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 a Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that a 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 securitys disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable 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 entitys 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes Each Funds 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2020, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each 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.
D Expenses The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.

F 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.
G Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 was as follows:

During the year ended January 31, 2020, the following amounts were reclassified due to Funds use of equalization accounting.

8 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2020.
9 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 funds 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.

11 Subsequent Event
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Parametric TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund) and Parametric TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund) (collectively, the Funds) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolios of investments, as of January 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of January 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Trustees Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), provides, in substance, that for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the funds board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the fund (independent trustees), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting held on December 10 and 11, 2019 (the Meeting), the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the Board) of the registered investment companies (the Eaton Vance Funds) advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (together, Eaton Vance), including a majority of the independent trustees (the Independent Trustees), voted to approve new investment sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance Management (EVM or the Adviser) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (PPA), an affiliate of Eaton Vance, with respect to each of Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (together, the Funds), including their respective fee structures (together, the New Sub-advisory Agreements).
As of the date of the Meeting, the Board noted that EVM served as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory and administrative agreements between each Fund and the Adviser (each, an Advisory Agreement). The Board also noted that each Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser may employ one or more investment sub-advisers to perform advisory services for the Funds, subject to required approvals, including by the Board. Based on information provided to the Board by Eaton Vance at the Meeting, the Boards approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements permits PPA to be appointed as a sub-adviser to each Fund and enables the Funds to continue their respective investment programs. The Board noted that EVM and PPA are each indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, Eaton Vance Corp. (EVC).
At the Meeting, and prior to voting its approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board received information from Eaton Vance regarding a strategic initiative previously announced by EVC whereby, among other initiates, members of Eaton Vances Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies (TABS) division and Quantitative Strategies (QS) group would be joining PPA (the Transition). The Board considered information from Eaton Vance regarding the Transition, noting that the Transition was intended to strengthen EVCs leadership positions in rules-based, systematic investment strategies. The Board received information that, in connection with the Transition, EVM would continue providing investment services to the Funds under their respective Advisory Agreements and PPA would provide portfolio management services to the Funds pursuant to the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
In considering the proposal to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information furnished for the Meeting, as well as information previously furnished throughout the year at the meetings of the Board and its committees. In this connection, the Board also considered information evaluated by the Board and its Contract Review Committee in determining to approve investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds at the meeting of the Board held on April 24, 2019 (the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal). As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates during the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal relating to the Boards approval of the Advisory Agreements.
The Board was assured that the Transition would not result in, among other things, any changes to the nature or level of services currently being provided by EVM under each Advisory Agreement, which, following the Transition, would be provided collectively by EVM and PPA under each Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-advisory Agreements, respectively. In this regard, the Board considered the investment management related services that PPA will provide, as well as the ongoing services to be provided by EVM, including the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who would continue to manage the Funds following the Transition. The Board considered that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Funds under each Advisory Agreement will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board specifically noted that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements are substantially similar to the terms of the standard form used by Eaton Vance with affiliated sub-advisers for other Eaton Vance Funds in the Eaton Vance complex. Accordingly, in addition to the information considered at the Meeting and at prior meetings of the Board, including in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal, the Board considered relevant information provided by Eaton Vance in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, as well as approvals of sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance and PPA with respect to other Eaton Vance Funds.
Information considered by the Board relating to the New Sub-advisory Agreements included, among other things, the following (certain information was considered by the Board in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal):
Information about Fees and Expenses
|
The advisory and related fees to be paid by each Fund and the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Adviser to PPA; |
|
Comparative information concerning fees charged by other advisers for managing funds similar to the Funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
|
Descriptions of the portfolio management services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements, as well as the investment strategies and policies to be employed; |

Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board concluded that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
The Board considered PPAs management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the resources available to PPA in fulfilling its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreements and the abilities and experience of PPAs investment professionals in implementing the investment strategies of each Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the abilities and experience of such investment professionals in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal bonds, Treasury securities and other securities backed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The Board also considered the TABS and municipal research groups involved in managing the Funds and other funds and accounts that invest primarily in municipal bonds and employ tax-advantaged bond and laddered strategies. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of PPA as well as other factors, including the reputation and resources of PPA to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of each Fund.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including PPA. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA, taken as a whole, will be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the fact that, as part of the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal with respect to each Fund, the Board had concluded that (i) the performance of each Fund was satisfactory, (ii) the management fees payable to the Adviser were reasonable, (iii) the profits being realized by the Adviser and its affiliates were deemed not to be excessive, and (iv) each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser, and that the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board considered the fact that both the Adviser and PPA are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, EVC. The Board also considered that the Transition is not expected to result in any change in the terms of the Advisory Agreements (including the fees payable thereunder), and that the Adviser will be responsible for the payment of all fees to PPA. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the appointment of PPA as a sub-adviser under the New Sub-advisory Agreements is not expected to adversely affect the performance of the Funds, the reasonableness of the management fees payable by the Funds, a portion of which will be paid by the Adviser to PPA, the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including PPA, in managing the Funds or the extent to which the Funds can be expected to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

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 adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Funds. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, was marked by strong performance across the municipal bond market, with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,2 a broad measure of the asset class, returning 8.65%. The municipal bond yield curve7 experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. With investors searching for yield in a low-rate environment, lower rated6 bonds generally outperformed higher rated bonds, while longer duration8 issues outperformed shorter duration issues.
As the period opened on February 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. Following its December 19, 2018 federal funds rate hike the last one on record the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its projected number of rate increases for 2019 from three to two, which some investors viewed as indicating weakness in the U.S. economy. The result was a flight to quality by investors seeking the relative safety of fixed-income securities over stocks, initiating a bond rally that pushed longer term bond prices up and yields down.
The fixed-income rally continued through the spring and summer of 2019, propelled by lower-than-desired inflation, low European interest rates, on-again/off-again trade-conflict rhetoric, and Fed comments in March that were more dovish than the market had expected leading many investors to conclude that further rate hikes were off the table for 2019. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the period, the Fed cut the federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade on July 31, 2019, followed by two more rate cuts in September and October to end the period at 1.50%-1.75%.
In the middle and long portions of the yield curve where rates are influenced more by the market than the Fed rates bottomed at the beginning of September. From September 3 through the end of December, U.S. and European interest rates trended modestly upward, amid better-than-expected U.S. employment reports and cautious optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente.
Two events in the final month of the period, January 2020, raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans top military commander by a U.S. drone strike briefly raised the specter of a U.S.-Iran military conflict. More lasting was the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which threatened to slow global economic growth for possibly months.
Within the municipal bond market, technical factors amplified the price rally during the period. The 2017 tax law changes resulted
in a combination of lower supply of new municipal issues and increased demand from high-income investors in high-tax states who had seen their tax bills rise under the revised code.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund returned 5.23% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index, which returned 5.59%.
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund returned 10.97% for Class A shares at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index, which returned 10.48%.
The Indexes are unmanaged, and returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges, commissions, or expenses.
Each of the TABS Laddered Municipal Bond Funds provides rules-based, approximately equal-weighted exposure across its respective portion of the yield curve, with the objective of seeking current income exempt from regular federal income tax. Management seeks to add incremental return through active security selection and in-depth credit analysis.
During the period, security selection was the largest contributor to the relative performance of both TABS Laddered Municipal Bond Funds versus their respective benchmarks. Yield-curve positioning detracted from the relative performance of both Funds.
Fund-specific Results
For Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund, yield-curve positioning and duration detracted from Fund performance versus its benchmark during the period. With regard to yield-curve positioning, the Fund had an overweight allocation, relative to its benchmark, in the 0-2 year area of the yield curve. As bonds in that maturity range underperformed longer maturity bonds during the period, the Funds yield-curve positioning detracted from relative results.
In addition, the Fund had a shorter duration or sensitivity to interest rate changes than its benchmark during the period. This detracted from relative performance because the Fund benefited less than its benchmark from declining interest rates and rising bond prices during the period. In contrast, active security selection managements work with credit analysts to pick sectors, issuers, and individual bonds to invest in contributed to Fund performance versus its benchmark during the period.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, 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.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1 continued
Fund-specific Results continued
For Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund, security selection and credit quality contributed to Fund performance versus its benchmark. Active selection of sectors, issuers, and individual bonds based on fundamental credit research was the largest single contributor to relative results.
With regard to credit quality, the Funds overweight exposure to A- and BBB-rated bonds aided relative performance, during a period when lower rated bonds generally outperformed bonds rated AA and higher.
In contrast, yield-curve positioning detracted from Fund performance relative to its benchmark. The Fund had an overweight exposure to bonds in the 10-13 year area of the yield curve the shorter end of the maturity range in which the Fund invests. During a period when shorter maturity bonds underperformed longer maturity issues, this positioning hurt relative Fund performance.

Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 110 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 110 years. Bloomberg Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 1217 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charges reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Funds or oldest share class inception, as applicable. |
4 |
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 5/31/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |
5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds |
long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. |
6 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment- grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as Not Rated (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
7 |
Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term interest rates fall and/or short-term interest rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term interest rates increase and/or short-term interest rates fall. |
8 |
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. |

Effective January 15, 2020, the Board of Trustees of each Fund approved the delegation of the day-to-day investment management of each Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC. On such date, Parametric became the sub-adviser of each Fund. Accordingly, effective January 15, 2020, the names of Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund and Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund were changed from Eaton Vance TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund and Eaton Vance TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund, respectively. There has been no change in portfolio management for each Fund. Each Funds portfolio managers from EVM became employees of Parametric in connection with these changes. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2019 January 31, 2020).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of six funds, two of which, each diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) (1-to-10 Year Laddered Fund) and Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly Eaton Vance TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) (10-to-20 Year Laddered Fund) (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Funds offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each 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.
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.
Affiliated Fund. The Funds 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 a Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that a 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 securitys disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable 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 entitys 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
C Federal Taxes Each Funds 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2020, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each 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.
D Expenses The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.

Notes to Financial Statements continued
E Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
F 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.
G Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 was as follows:

Long-term capital gains |
$ | | $ | 32,471 |
During the year ended January 31, 2020, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for tax treatment of distributions in excess of net tax-exempt income and for the 10-to-20 Year Laddered Fund, its use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Funds to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholders portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

At January 31, 2020, the 1-to-10 Year Laddered Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $211,613 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2020, $145,082 are short-term and $66,531 are long-term.

Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement effective January 15, 2020, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Funds to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Funds. EVM and Parametric have agreed to reimburse each Funds expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.65%, 1.40% and 0.40% of each Funds average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. These agreements may be changed or terminated after May 31, 2020. Pursuant to these agreements, EVM and Parametric were allocated $109,140 and $104,052 in total of operating expenses of 1-to-10 Year Laddered Fund and 10-to-20 Year Laddered Fund, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM, which are included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statements of Operations, and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended January 31, 2020 were as follows:

Trustees and officers of the Funds who are members of EVMs organization receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser and administration fee. Trustees of the Funds 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 year ended January 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, each Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2020 for Class A shares amounted to the following:

Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Funds were informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders.

8 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2020.

10 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 funds 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.
At January 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
1-to-10 Year Laddered Fund |

12 Subsequent Event
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund and Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) and Parametric TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) (collectively, the Funds) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolios of investments, as of January 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 4, 2015, to January 31, 2016, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of January 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 4, 2015, to January 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Trustees Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), provides, in substance, that for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the funds board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the fund (independent trustees), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting held on December 10 and 11, 2019 (the Meeting), the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the Board) of the registered investment companies (the Eaton Vance Funds) advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (together, Eaton Vance), including a majority of the independent trustees (the Independent Trustees), voted to approve new investment sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance Management (EVM or the Adviser) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (PPA), an affiliate of Eaton Vance, with respect to each of Eaton Vance TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund and Eaton Vance TABS 10-to-20 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (together, the Funds), including their respective fee structures (together, the New Sub-advisory Agreements).
As of the date of the Meeting, the Board noted that EVM served as the investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory and administrative agreements between each Fund and the Adviser (each, an Advisory Agreement). The Board also noted that each Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser may employ one or more investment sub-advisers to perform advisory services for the Funds, subject to required approvals, including by the Board. Based on information provided to the Board by Eaton Vance at the Meeting, the Boards approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements permits PPA to be appointed as a sub-adviser to each Fund and enables the Funds to continue their respective investment programs. The Board noted that EVM and PPA are each indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, Eaton Vance Corp. (EVC).
At the Meeting, and prior to voting its approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board received information from Eaton Vance regarding a strategic initiative previously announced by EVC whereby, among other initiates, members of Eaton Vances Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies (TABS) division and Quantitative Strategies (QS) group would be joining PPA (the Transition). The Board considered information from Eaton Vance regarding the Transition, noting that the Transition was intended to strengthen EVCs leadership positions in rules-based, systematic investment strategies. The Board received information that, in connection with the Transition, EVM would continue providing investment services to the Funds under their respective Advisory Agreements and PPA would provide portfolio management services to the Funds pursuant to the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
In considering the proposal to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information furnished for the Meeting, as well as information previously furnished throughout the year at the meetings of the Board and its committees. In this connection, the Board also considered information evaluated by the Board and its Contract Review Committee in determining to approve investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds at the meeting of the Board held on April 24, 2019 (the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal). As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates during the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal relating to the Boards approval of the Advisory Agreements.
The Board was assured that the Transition would not result in, among other things, any changes to the nature or level of services currently being provided by EVM under each Advisory Agreement, which, following the Transition, would be provided collectively by EVM and PPA under each Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-advisory Agreements, respectively. In this regard, the Board considered the investment management related services that PPA will provide, as well as the ongoing services to be provided by EVM, including the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who would continue to manage the Funds following the Transition. The Board considered that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Funds under each Advisory Agreement will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board specifically noted that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements are substantially similar to the terms of the standard form used by Eaton Vance with affiliated sub-advisers for other Eaton Vance Funds in the Eaton Vance complex. Accordingly, in addition to the information considered at the Meeting and at prior meetings of the Board, including in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal, the Board considered relevant information provided by Eaton Vance in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, as well as approvals of sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance and PPA with respect to other Eaton Vance Funds.
Information considered by the Board relating to the New Sub-advisory Agreements included, among other things, the following (certain information was considered by the Board in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal):
Information about Fees and Expenses
|
The advisory and related fees to be paid by each Fund and the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Adviser to PPA; |
|
Comparative information concerning fees charged by other advisers for managing funds similar to the Funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
|
Descriptions of the portfolio management services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements, as well as the investment strategies and policies to be employed; |
|
Information about PPAs policies and practices with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions; |

Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board concluded that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
The Board considered PPAs management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the resources available to PPA in fulfilling its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreements and the abilities and experience of PPAs investment professionals in implementing the investment strategies of each Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the abilities and experience of such investment professionals in the TABS and municipal research groups involved in managing the Funds and other funds and accounts that invest primarily in municipal bonds and employ tax-advantaged bond and laddered strategies. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of PPA as well as other factors, including the reputation and resources of PPA to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of each Fund.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including PPA. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA, taken as a whole, will be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
Performance, Management Fees, Profitability and Economies of Scale
The Board considered the fact that, as part of the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal with respect to each Fund, the Board had concluded that (i) the performance of each Fund was satisfactory, (ii) the management fees payable to the Adviser were reasonable, (iii) the profits being realized by the Adviser and its affiliates were deemed not to be excessive, and (iv) each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser, and that the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board considered the fact that both the Adviser and PPA are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, EVC. The Board also considered that the Transition is not expected to result in any change in the terms of the Advisory Agreements (including the fees payable thereunder), and that the Adviser will be responsible for the payment of all fees to PPA. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the appointment of PPA as a sub-adviser under the New Sub-advisory Agreements is not expected to adversely affect the performance of the Funds, the reasonableness of the management fees payable by the Funds, a portion of which will be paid by the Adviser to PPA, the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including PPA, in managing the Funds or the extent to which the Funds can be expected to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

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 adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. 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 Funds 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.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
The 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, was marked by strong performance across the municipal bond market, with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,2 a broad measure of the asset class, returning 8.65%. The municipal bond yield curve8 experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. With investors searching for yield in a low-rate environment, lower rated7 bonds generally outperformed higher rated bonds, while longer duration9 issues outperformed shorter duration issues.
As the period opened on February 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. Following its December 19, 2018 federal funds rate hike the last one on record the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its projected number of rate increases for 2019 from three to two, which some investors viewed as indicating weakness in the U.S. economy. The result was a flight to quality by investors seeking the relative safety of fixed-income securities over stocks, initiating a bond rally that pushed longer term bond prices up and yields down.
The fixed-income rally continued through the spring and summer of 2019, propelled by lower-than-desired inflation, low European interest rates, on-again/off-again trade-conflict rhetoric, and Fed comments in March that were more dovish than the market had expected leading many investors to conclude that further rate hikes were off the table for 2019. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the period, the Fed cut the federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade on July 31, 2019, followed by two more rate cuts in September and October to end the period at 1.50%-1.75%.
In the middle and long portions of the yield curve where rates are influenced more by the market than the Fed rates bottomed at the beginning of September. From September 3 through the end of December, U.S. and European interest rates trended modestly upward, amid better-than-expected U.S. employment reports and cautious optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente.
Two events in the final month of the period, January 2020, raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans top military commander by a U.S. drone strike briefly raised the specter of a U.S.-Iran military conflict. More lasting was the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which threatened to slow global economic growth for possibly months.
Within the municipal bond market, technical factors amplified the price rally during the period. The 2017 tax law changes resulted in a combination of lower supply of new municipal issues and increased demand from high-income investors in high-tax states who had seen their tax bills rise under the revised code.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund) returned 7.56% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 10 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index), which returned 8.61%.
The Index is unmanaged and returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges, commissions, or expenses.
The Fund provides rules-based, approximately equal-weighted exposure in each year across the 5-15 year maturity portion of the yield curve, with the objective of seeking current income exempt from regular federal income tax. Management seeks to add incremental return through active security selection and in-depth credit analysis.
During the period, yield-curve positioning and duration detracted from Fund performance versus the Index. While the Index was entirely positioned in the 8-12 year area of the yield curve, the Fund was approximately equally weighted across the yield curve from 5 through 15 years. The Funds out-of Index holdings in the 5-7 year area of the curve underperformed the Index holdings in the longer maturity area of the curve and, thus, detracted from results relative to the Index.
In addition, the Fund had a shorter duration, or sensitivity to interest rate changes, than the Index during the period. This detracted from relative performance because the Fund benefited less than the Index from declining interest rates and rising bond prices during the period. The Funds duration positioning was a by-product of the Funds rules-based, equal-weighted yield-curve positioning.
In contrast, security selection and credit quality contributed to Fund performance versus the Index during the period. Active security selection managements work with credit analysts to pick sectors, issuers, and individual bonds to invest in was the largest contributor to results relative to the Index.
With regard to credit quality, the Funds overweight exposure to A- and BBB-rated bonds aided relative performance, as lower rated bonds outperformed higher rated bonds during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, 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.

Bloomberg Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 12-17 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charges reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Funds or oldest share class inception, as applicable. |
Effective April 15, 2015, the Fund changed its investment objective and investment strategy. Performance prior to April 15, 2015 reflects the Funds performance under its former investment objective and policies. |

Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 5/31/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |
5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Funds distributions are determined by |
the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. |
6 |
The Fund primarily invests in an affiliated investment company (Portfolio) with the same objective(s) and policies as the Fund and may also invest directly. Unless otherwise noted, references to investments are to the aggregate holdings of the Fund and the Portfolio. |
7 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as Not Rated (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
8 |
Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term interest rates fall and/or short-term interest rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term interest rates increase and/or short-term interest rates fall. |
9 |
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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2019 January 31, 2020).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
* |
Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2019. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. |
** |
Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The value of the Funds investment in the Portfolio reflects the Funds proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (99.0% at January 31, 2020). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds financial statements.
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 Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolios Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income The Funds net investment income or loss consists of the Funds pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by the Portfolios investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Portfolio, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2020, 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.
D Expenses The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E 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.
F Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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 Funds 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.
G Other Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder,

Parametric
TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund
January 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 13,351,807 | $ | 12,741,219 |
As of January 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 235,800 | ||
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (12,357,506 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 42,784,785 | ||
Distributions payable |
$ | (232,125 | ) |
At January 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $12,357,506 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2020, $10,861,551 are short-term and $1,495,955 are long-term.
3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.32% of the Funds average daily net assets that are not invested in other investment companies for which EVM or its affiliates serve as investment adviser and receive an advisory fee (Direct Assets) up to $1 billion and is payable monthly. On Direct Assets of $1 billion and over, the annual fee is reduced. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund incurred no investment adviser fee on Direct Assets. To the extent the Funds assets are invested in the Portfolio, the Fund is allocated its share of the Portfolios investment adviser fee. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolios Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM also serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.
Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement effective January 15, 2020, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
EVM and Parametric have agreed to reimburse the Funds expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.65%, 1.40% and 0.40% of the Funds average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after May 31, 2020. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric were allocated $92,084 in total of the Funds operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended January 31, 2020, EVM earned $5,477 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $11,160 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and

Parametric
TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund
January 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2020 amounted to $212,722 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $323,417 for Class C shares.
Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended January 31, 2020 amounted to $107,806 for Class C shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $7,000 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended January 31, 2020, increases and decreases in the Funds investment in the Portfolio aggregated $101,024,194 and $33,894,325, respectively. In addition, a Portfolio transaction fee is imposed by the Portfolio on the combined daily inflows or outflows of the Fund and the Portfolios other investors as more fully described at Note 1H of the Portfolios financial statements included herein. Such fee is allocated to the Fund based on its pro-rata interest in the Portfolio. The amount of the Portfolio transaction fee imposed on the Fund, if any, and the allocation of such fee are presented as Other capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Effective January 15, 2020, the name of Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund was changed from Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund. The name change was made in connection with Parametrics becoming sub-adviser to the Fund as disclosed in Note 3.
9 Subsequent Event
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolios investment objective is to seek current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) and Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares held an interest of 99.0% and 1.0%, respectively, in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio 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.
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.
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 Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that the Portfolio 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 securitys disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable 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 entitys 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.
D Federal Taxes The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolios investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investors distributive share of the Portfolios net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of January 31, 2020, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio 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 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.
F Indemnifications Under the Portfolios organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolios Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolios maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
G When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Portfolio maintains cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will

5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio
January 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
H Capital Transactions To seek to protect the Portfolio (and, indirectly, other investors in the Portfolio) against the costs of accommodating investor inflows and outflows, the Portfolio imposes a fee (Portfolio transaction fee) on inflows and outflows by Portfolio investors. The Portfolio transaction fee is sized to cover the estimated cost to the Portfolio of, in connection with issuing interests, converting the cash and/or other instruments it receives to the desired composition and, in connection with redeeming its interests, converting Portfolio holdings to cash and/or other instruments to be distributed. Such fee, which may vary over time, is limited to amounts that have been authorized by the Board of Trustees and determined by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) to be appropriate. The maximum Portfolio transaction fee is 2% of the amount of net contributions or withdrawals. The Portfolio transaction fee is recorded as a component of capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.32% of the Portfolios average daily net assets up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Portfolios investment adviser fee amounted to $2,132,713 or 0.32% of the Portfolios average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., a portion of its investment adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. Pursuant to a voluntary expense reimbursement, BMR and Parametric were allocated $54,130 in total of the Portfolios operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2020.
Trustees and officers of the Portfolio who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser 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 year ended January 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $266,132,417 and $183,615,370, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2020.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at January 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 665,472,000 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 43,239,221 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 43,239,221 |
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2020.

6 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 funds 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.
At January 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Portfolios investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Investments |
$ | | $ | 708,711,221 | $ | | $ | 708,711,221 | ||||||||
Total Investments |
$ | | $ | 708,711,221 | $ | | $ | 708,711,221 |
7 Subsequent Event
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Investors of 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 28, 2016, to January 31, 2017, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of January 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 28, 2016, to January 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolios internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Trustees Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), provides, in substance, that for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the funds board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the fund (independent trustees), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting held on December 10 and 11, 2019 (the Meeting), the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the Board) of the registered investment companies (the Eaton Vance Funds) advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (together, Eaton Vance), including a majority of the independent trustees (the Independent Trustees), voted to approve new investment sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance Management (EVM) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (PPA), an affiliate of Eaton Vance, with respect to Eaton Vance 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund), and between Boston Management and Research (BMR) and PPA with respect to 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio), the portfolio in which the Fund invests, including their respective fee structures (together, the New Sub-advisory Agreements). EVM, with respect to the Fund, and BMR, with respect to the Portfolio, are each referred to herein as the Adviser as the context requires.
As of the date of the Meeting, the Board noted that EVM served as the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative agreement, and that BMR served as the investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (each, an Advisory Agreement). The Board also noted that each Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser may employ one or more investment sub-advisers to perform advisory services for the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, subject to required approvals, including by the Board. Based on information provided to the Board by Eaton Vance at the Meeting, the Boards approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements permits PPA to be appointed as a sub-adviser to both the Fund and the Portfolio, and enables the Fund and the Portfolio to continue their respective investment programs. The Board noted that EVM, BMR and PPA are each indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, Eaton Vance Corp. (EVC).
At the Meeting, and prior to voting its approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board received information from Eaton Vance regarding a strategic initiative previously announced by EVC whereby, among other initiates, members of Eaton Vances Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies (TABS) division and Quantitative Strategies (QS) group would be joining PPA (the Transition). The Board considered information from Eaton Vance regarding the Transition, noting that the Transition was intended to strengthen EVCs leadership positions in rules-based, systematic investment strategies. The Board received information that, in connection with the Transition, the Advisers would continue providing investment services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, and PPA would provide portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio pursuant to the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
In considering the proposal to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information furnished for the Meeting, as well as information previously furnished throughout the year at the meetings of the Board and its committees. In this connection, the Board also considered information evaluated by the Board and its Contract Review Committee in determining to approve investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds at the meeting of the Board held on April 24, 2019 (the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal). As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates during the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal relating to the Boards approval of the Advisory Agreements.
The Board was assured that the Transition would not result in, among other things, any changes to the nature or level of services currently being provided by the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement, which, following the Transition, would be provided collectively by the Adviser and PPA under each Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-advisory Agreements, respectively. In this regard, the Board considered the investment management related services that PPA will provide, as well as the ongoing services to be provided by each Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who would continue to manage both the Fund and the Portfolio following the Transition. The Board considered that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles, respectively, under each New Sub-advisory Agreement. The Board specifically noted that the terms of each New Sub-advisory Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the standard form used by Eaton Vance with affiliated sub-advisers for other Eaton Vance Funds in the Eaton Vance complex. Accordingly, in addition to the information considered at the Meeting and at prior meetings of the Board, including in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal, the Board considered relevant information provided by Eaton Vance in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, as well as approvals of sub-advisory agreements between each Adviser and PPA with respect to other Eaton Vance Funds.
Information considered by the Board relating to the New Sub-advisory Agreements included, among other things, the following (certain information was considered by the Board in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal):
Information about Fees and Expenses
|
The advisory and related fees to be paid by the Fund and the Portfolio and the sub-advisory fees to be paid by each Adviser to PPA; |

Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board concluded that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
The Board considered PPAs management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by the Fund and the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the resources available to PPA in fulfilling its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreements and the abilities and experience of PPAs investment professionals in implementing the investment strategies of the Fund and the Porfolio. In this regard, the Board noted that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under each New Sub-advisory Agreement. In particular, the Board considered the abilities and experience of such investment professionals in the TABS and municipal research groups involved in managing the Fund and the Portfolio and other funds and accounts that invest primarily in municipal bonds and employ tax-advantaged bond and laddered strategies. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of PPA as well as other factors, including the reputation and resources of PPA to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Fund and the Portfolio.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Advisers and relevant affiliates thereof, including PPA. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA, taken as a whole, will be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements.
Performance, Management Fees, Profitability and Economies of Scale
The Board considered the fact that, as part of the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal with respect to the Fund and the Portfolio, the Board had concluded that (i) the performance of the Fund was satisfactory, (ii) the management fees payable to the Adviser were reasonable, (iii) the profits being realized by the Adviser and its affiliates were deemed not to be excessive, and (iv) the Fund and the Portfolio currently share in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser, and that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund and the Portfolio to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board considered the fact that EVM, BMR and PPA are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, EVC. The Board also considered that the Transition is not expected to result in any change in the terms of the Advisory Agreements (including the fees payable thereunder), and that the Adviser will be responsible for the payment of all fees to PPA. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the appointment of PPA as a sub-adviser under each New Sub-advisory Agreement is not expected to adversely affect the performance of the Fund or the Portfolio, the reasonableness of the management fees payable by the Fund and the Portfolio, a portion of which will be paid by each Adviser to PPA, the profits to be realized by each Adviser and its affiliates, including PPA, in managing the Fund and the Portfolio, or the extent to which the Fund and the Portfolio can be expected to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

(e)(1) The registrants audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrants principal accountant (the Pre-Approval Policies).

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 the registrants audit committee at least annually. The registrants audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrants principal accountant.
