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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of 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. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, the U.S. high yield market took a roller-coaster ride largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the end of 2019, perceived progress toward a U.S.-China trade deal lifted markets. This was followed by the fastest sell-off in the history of the high yield asset class in early 2020 as the market responded to a potential global recession brought on by COVID-19.
In the final week of February, the S&P 500® Index lost 11.49% and the average yield spread on the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index widened 1.50%. The intense sell-off persisted for the first three weeks of March.
Saudi Arabias announcement in early March that it planned to increase oil production, coupled with sharply lower energy demand expectations due to a potential recession, caused the price of oil to sink to $20 per barrel in the quarter, sending shockwaves through the energy sector, the largest sector within the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index. The ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index returned 13.12% in the first quarter of 2020.
At the end of March, in response to quantitative easing by global central banks and the passing of a record $2-trillion U.S. fiscal stimulus package, the high yield market began to revive. The U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank followed up with unprecedented support for global financial markets, increasing investor appetites for risk.
U.S. and global investors responded to historically elevated yield spreads, the readiness of central banks to intervene and, later during the period, indications of modest economic improvement by adding exposure to issuers with elevated debt. Companies relying on the high yield market for capital began issuing high yield debt at a record rate.
The rebound of the high yield market extended into July, then cooled. The dimming outlook for additional near-term U.S. stimulus, renewed pandemic-driven shutdowns, trepidation regarding the then-approaching U.S. election, and elevated U.S. jobless claims pointed to a slower and more protracted global economic recovery than previously hoped.
For the period as a whole, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index returned 2.54%; and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.19%.
High yield issuance during the period totaled $485.4 billion. The trailing 12-month par-weighted default rate, which began the period at 2.54%, ended at 6.34%.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020, Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston (the Fund) returned 1.56% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index (the Index), which returned 2.54%.
The Funds sector allocations detracted from performance relative to the Index during the period. The relative weighting in energy; underweight exposure to food, beverage & tobacco; and overweight exposure to leisure had a negative effect on relative performance. Overweight exposure to the less cyclical health care sector, however, contributed to returns relative to the Index during the period.
Security selections contributed to relative performance during the period. Credit selections within the energy sector reflecting the Funds emphasis on exploration and production companies with higher quality assets, and telecommunications were especially beneficial. However, selections within the health care sector detracted from returns relative to the Index during the period.
Allocation by credit-rating sector contributed to relative returns. A small allocation to non-rated credits, underexposure to bonds rated below CCC, and a modest allocation to BBB rated credits enhanced relative returns. However, an underweight exposure to BB rated credits the best performing credit rating within the Index detracted. Security selections by credit-rating sector weighed on relative returns. This negative effect was the most pronounced within BB rated bonds. Selections among non-rated credits also had a notably negative impact on relative returns. However, within CCC rated bonds, a higher quality bias contributed to relative performance during the period.
The Funds shorter duration positioning especially its overweight exposure to bonds with durations between 0-2 years and an underweight exposure to bonds with durations of more than 10 years detracted. However, security selections by duration sector was positive overall. Within the 0-2 year sector, credit selection more than offset the negative impact of an overweight position. Strong credit selections within bonds with durations of 2-5 years also overcame the negative impact of the Funds underweight exposure to the sector.
Credit selections within the 5-10 year duration sector hindered returns relative to the Index 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.

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 (May 1, 2020 October 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 184/366 (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 April 30, 2020. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio for the period when the Funds assets were invested in the Portfolio. |

Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher. |

Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life |
of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the Prime Rate). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold. |
(11) |
Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. At October 31, 2020, the total value of unfunded loan commitments is $3,343,902. See Note 1G for description. |
(12) |
This Senior Loan will settle after October 31, 2020, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(13) |
Fixed-rate loan. |
(14) |
Non-income producing security. |
(15) |
Security was acquired in connection with a restructuring of a Senior Loan and may be subject to restrictions on resale. |
(16) |
For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, security is categorized as Level 3 (see Note 12). |

Restricted security (see Note 8). |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Series 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 Funds investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Funds secondary objectives are to seek growth of income and capital. Prior to the close of business on June 12, 2020, the Fund invested all of its investable assets in interests in Boston Income Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having the same investment objectives and policies as the Fund. As of the close of business on June 12, 2020, the Fund received its pro-rata share of net assets from the Portfolio as part of the termination of the Portfolio. As of June 15, 2020, the next business day, the Fund invests its assets directly. The Fund offers five 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 and, effective November 5, 2020, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I, Class R and Class R6 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. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 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.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrowers outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrowers assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Fund based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Fund. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Fund. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment advisers Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans (i.e., subordinated loans and second lien loans) are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that uses various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events.
Derivatives. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Funds forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service.

Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the 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 Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countries tax rules and rates. Distributions from investment companies are recorded as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution. Prior to the close of business on June 12, 2020, the net investment income or loss consisted 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.
D 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 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.
As of October 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.
E 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.
F Foreign Currency Translation Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrowers discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2020, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
H 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.
I 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.

J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K 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 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, 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 October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended October 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 262,961,829 | $ | 247,124,053 | ||||
Tax return of capital |
$ | 59,796,298 | $ | 26,742,690 |
During the year ended October 31, 2020, accumulated loss was increased by $227,701,650 and paid-in capital was increased by $227,701,650 due to differences between book and tax accounting for the Funds investment in the Portfolio. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (288,758,075 | ) | |
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (173,227,464 | ) | |
Distributions payable |
$ | (1,209,028 | ) |
At October 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $288,758,075 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 October 31, 2020, $54,814,869 are short-term and $233,943,206 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at October 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 6,507,487,894 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 9,491,636 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
(182,720,678 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (173,229,042 | ) |

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM and an indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement dated June 12, 2020 between the Fund and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.625% of the Funds average daily net assets up to $1.5 billion, 0.60% from $1.5 billion but less than $2 billion, 0.575% from $2 billion but less than $5 billion, 0.555% from $5 billion but less than $10 billion, and 0.535% of average daily net assets of $10 billion and over, and is payable monthly. Prior to the close of business on June 12, 2020, when the Funds assets were invested in the Portfolio, the Fund was allocated its share of the Portfolios investment adviser fee. The Portfolio paid advisory fees to BMR on the same fee schedule as that of the Fund as described above. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Funds allocated portion of the investment adviser fee paid by the Portfolio amounted to $17,764,355 and the investment adviser fee paid by the Fund amounted to $13,290,707. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Funds investment adviser fee, including the investment adviser fee allocated from the Portfolio, was 0.59% of the Funds average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement dated June 12, 2020, BMR pays Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., a portion of its investment adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. The Fund invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. Effective March 1, 2020, BMR and EVM have agreed to reimburse the Funds expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding such expenses as borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.00%, 1.75%, 0.75%, 1.25% and 0.66% of the Funds average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class R6, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2021. Pursuant to this agreement, BMR and EVM were allocated $890,122 in total of the Funds operating expenses for the year ended October 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 October 31, 2020, EVM earned $49,493 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 $82,662 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class C and Class R 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 October 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.

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 October 31, 2020 amounted to $1,847,640 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class C shares (Class C Plan) and Class R shares (Class R 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 October 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $728,124 for Class C shares. The Class R Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD an amount up to 0.50% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Trustees of the Trust have currently limited Class R distribution payments to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $74,839 for Class R shares.
Pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, 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 October 31, 2020 amounted to $242,708 and $74,839 for Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
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 12 months 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 October 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $5,000 and $5,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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 forward foreign currency exchange 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 October 31, 2020 is included in the Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2020, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Funds net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At October 31, 2020, the Fund had no open derivatives with credit-related
contingent features in a net liability position.
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with substantially all its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Funds custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Portfolio of Investments.

10 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 26, 2021. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. 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. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2020, an upfront fee and arrangement fee totaling $950,000

was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. 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 October 31, 2020.
11 Investments in Affiliated Funds
At October 31, 2020, the value of the Funds investment in affiliated funds was $156,720,062, which represents 2.5% of the Funds net assets.

12 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 October 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

13 Risks and Uncertainties
Credit Risk
The Fund primarily invests in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield securities. These investments have different risks than investments in debt securities rated investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to such debt than with other debt securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment grade issuers.
Pandemic Risk
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, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the economies of individual countries, individual companies, and the market in general, and may continue to do so in significant and unforeseen ways, as may other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future. Any such impact could adversely affect the Funds performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
14 Additional Information
On October 8, 2020, Morgan Stanley and Eaton Vance Corp. (Eaton Vance) announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Morgan Stanley would acquire Eaton Vance. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of this transaction may be deemed to result in the automatic termination of an Eaton Vance Funds investment advisory agreement, and, where applicable, any related sub-advisory agreement. On November 24, 2020, the Funds Board approved a new investment advisory agreement and a new sub-advisory agreement. The new investment advisory agreement and new sub-advisory agreement will be presented to Fund shareholders for approval, and, if approved, would take effect upon consummation of the transaction. Shareholders of record of the Fund at the close of business on December 11, 2020 are entitled to be present and vote at a joint special meeting of shareholders to be held on February 18, 2021 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Series Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Series Trust II), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 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 October 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 and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and selling or agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines liquidity risk as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors interests in the fund. The Funds Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Funds investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Funds liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Funds Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Funds investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Funds portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.
At a meeting of the Funds Board of Trustees/Directors, the Committee provided a written report to the Funds Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrators ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Funds prospectus for more information regarding the Funds exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
