IMPORTANT
NOTICES REGARDING DISTRIBUTIONS,
DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENTS,
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS, AND PROXY VOTING
Managed Distribution Plan. On March 10, 2009,
the Fund received authorization from the Securities and Exchange
Commission to distribute long-term capital gains to shareholders
more frequently than once per year. In this connection, the
Board of Trustees formally approved the implementation of a
Managed Distribution Plan (MDP) to make monthly cash
distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed
amount per common share.
The Fund intends to pay monthly cash dividends equal to $0.137
per share. You should not draw any conclusions about the
Funds investment performance from the amount of these
distributions or from the terms of the MDP. The MDP will be
subject to regular periodic review by the Funds Board of
Trustees.
With each distribution, the Fund will issue a notice to
shareholders and an accompanying press release which will
provide detailed information required by the Funds
exemptive order. The Funds Board of Trustees may amend or
terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to Fund
shareholders; however, at this time there are no reasonably
foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of
the MDP.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) permits funds to
deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including
prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund
investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post
office box address. This practice is often called
householding and it helps eliminate duplicate
mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the
mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton
Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be
householded, please contact Eaton Vance at
1-800-262-1122,
or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of
your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days
of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its
underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its
portfolio holdings on
Form N-Q
with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal
year. The
Form N-Q
will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com,
by calling Eaton Vance at
1-800-262-1122
or in the EDGAR database on the Securities and Exchange
Commissions website at www.sec.gov.
Form N-Q
may also be reviewed and copied at the SECs public
reference room in Washington, D.C. (call
1-800-732-0330
for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required
to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The
Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying portfolios (if applicable)
vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures
approved by the Funds and Portfolios Boards. You may
obtain a description of these policies and procedures and
information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies
relating to portfolio securities during the most recent
12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon
request, by calling
1-800-262-1122.
This description is also available on the SECs website at
www. sec.gov.

cover of this report for an important notice about

organization.

Economic and Market Conditions
|
|
Global equity markets experienced profound losses during the six months that ended March 31,
2009, a period that will likely go down as one of the worst in modern financial history.
Prior to and during the period, the simultaneous bursting of the housing, credit and
commodity bubbles created a global financial crisis of unforeseen levels. Equity
markets collapsed in the fall of 2008 as a series of catastrophic events on Wall
Street induced panic and fear among market participants. The U.S. economy fell into
recession during the fourth quarter of 2007, and it was made official in the fourth
quarter of 2008 as unemployment continued to rise. The Federal Reserve (Fed)
responded to the crises with a dramatic cut in interest rates to a range of 0.0% to
0.25% from 2.00% as of September 30, 2008. In addition to its interest-rate policy,
the Fed also took extraordinary action through a variety of innovative lending
techniques in an attempt to ease the credit crisis. |
|
|
|
As investors fled to less-risky investments such as short-term Treasuries, investment styles
across the board suffered steep declines. The S&P 500 Index suffered its worst loss since
1937, while the Dow Jones Industrials Average experienced the third-worst loss in its history.
However, in the latter three weeks of March 2009, stocks mounted an encouraging if tenuous
rally. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are
calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as
applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Funds performance at share price will
differ from its results at NAV. Although share price performance generally reflects
investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at share price can also be
affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions,
fluctuations in supply and demand for the Funds shares, or changes in Fund distributions.
The Fund has no current intention to utilize leverage, but may do so in the future through
borrowings and/or other permitted methods. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Funds current
performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most
recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or
guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including
possible loss of principal invested.
Management Discussion
|
|
The Fund is a closed-end fund and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the
symbol EOI. The Funds primary investment objective is to provide current income, with a
secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment
objectives by investing primarily in large- and mid-capitalization common stocks,
seeking to invest primarily in companies with above-average growth and financial
strength. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to generate current
earnings from option premiums by selling covered options on a substantial portion
of its portfolio securities. For the six months that ended March 31, 2009, the Fund
continued to provide shareholders with relatively attractive monthly distributions. |
|
|
|
At net asset value (NAV), the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index and modestly
underperformed the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index for the six months that ended March
31, 2009, a period characterized by record levels of market volatility. As of March
31, 2009, the discount to NAV was -11.33%. |

It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Indices total returns do not reflect commissions or expenses that would
have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities
represented in the Indices. The Lipper total return is the average total return,
at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as
the Fund. |
|
2 |
|
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds most recent monthly distribution
per share (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV or share price at the end
of the period. The Funds monthly distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. |

INVESTMENT UPDATE
|
|
Among the Funds common stock holdings, its largest sector weightings
at the end of the six-month period were information technology, health care,
energy, consumer staples and industrials. The Funds performance, relative to
the S&P 500 Index, was boosted by security selection among financials and
materials stocks. In particular, commercial banks, metals and mining, and
diversified financial services contributed positively to overall performance.
The Funds selection in the energy, health care and utilities sectors detracted
from performance. |
|
|
|
As of March 31, 2009, the Fund had written call options on approximately 47%
of its equity holdings. The Fund seeks to generate current earnings from option
premiums by selling covered call options on a substantial portion of its
portfolio securities. Option premiums can vary with investors expectations of
the future volatility (implied volatility) of the underlying assets. The
six-month period that ended March 31, 2009, witnessed continued high levels of
implied volatility in concert with a significant level of actual volatility in
the equity markets. The Fund was able to monetize some of this volatility in
the form of higher premiums, which provided a positive benefit to the Fund. Of
course, in future periods of strong market growth, this strategy may lessen
returns relative to the market. |
|
|
|
Effective July 1, 2008, Michael A. Allison assumed co-portfolio management
responsibilities for the Fund. Mr. Allison joined Eaton Vance Management (Eaton
Vance) in 2000, and is a Vice President of Eaton Vance. Mr. Allison manages
other Eaton Vance funds and is a member of Eaton Vances Equity Strategy
Committee. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are
current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These
views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the
investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not
be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on
many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any
Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of
the Funds current or future investments and may change due to active management.

Enhanced Equity Income

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant
Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund (the Fund) is a
Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a
diversified, closed-end management investment company. The
Funds primary investment objective is to provide current
income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The
Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in
a portfolio of mid- and large-capitalization common stocks,
seeking to invest primarily in companies with above-average
growth and financial strength. Under normal market conditions,
the Fund seeks to generate current earnings in part by employing
an options strategy of writing covered call options with respect
to a substantial portion of its portfolio securities.
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.
A Investment
Valuation Equity securities listed on a U.S.
securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price
on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date,
at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore
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 asked prices or, in
the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or
traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing
service. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale
price for the day of valuation as quoted on any exchange on
which the option is listed or, in the absence of sales on such
date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices
therefore as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority.
Over-the-counter
options are valued based on broker quotations, when available
and deemed reliable. Short-term debt securities with a remaining
maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt
securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than
sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service. Foreign
securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on
foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an
independent quotation service. The independent service uses a
proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the
model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The
daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally
is determined as of the close of trading on the principal
exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after
the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in
adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more
accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign
equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have
approved the use of a fair value service that values such
securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close
of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or
other instruments that have a strong correlation to the
fair-valued securities. 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 value, or
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 all 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, 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 financial condition, and an
evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the
market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The Fund may invest in Cash Management Portfolio (Cash
Management), an affiliated investment company managed by Boston
Management and Research, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management
(EVM). Cash Management values its investment securities
utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by
Rule 2a-7
of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which Cash Management must comply
with certain conditions. This technique involves initially
valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming
a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value,
Cash Management may value its investment securities based on
available market quotations provided by a pricing service.
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
Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend
date for dividends received in cash
and/or
securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain
dividends from foreign securities are recorded as
12
Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income
Fund as
of March 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONTD
the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes
on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in
accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable
countries tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded
on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of
premium or accretion of discount.
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.
At September 30, 2008, the Fund had a net capital loss of
$404,932 attributable to security transactions incurred after
October 31, 2007. This net capital loss is treated as
arising on the first day of the Funds taxable year ending
September 30, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, the Fund had no uncertain tax
positions that would require financial statement recognition,
de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds federal
tax returns filed in the
3-year
period ended September 30, 2008 remains subject to
examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense
Reduction State Street Bank and
Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund.
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced
by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash
balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if
any, used to reduce the Funds custodian fees are reported
as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
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 Use
of Estimates The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
H Indemnifications
Under the Funds 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, and shareholders are indemnified against
personal liability for the obligations of the Fund.
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.
I Written
Options Upon the writing of a call or a put
option, the premium received by the Fund is included in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount
of the liability is subsequently
marked-to-market
to reflect the current market value of the option written, in
accordance with the Funds policies on investment
valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing
options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums
received from writing options which are exercised or are closed
are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on
the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put
option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost
basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as a
writer of an option, may have no control over whether the
underlying securities or other assets may be sold (call) or
purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an
unfavorable change in the price of the securities or other
assets underlying the written option. The Fund may also bear the
risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a
liquid secondary market does not exist.
J Interim
Financial Statements
The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2009
and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an
independent registered public accounting firm, but in the
opinion of the Funds management, reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Distributions
to Shareholders
Subject to its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund intends to
make monthly distributions from its cash available for
distribution, which consists of the Funds dividends and
interest income after payment of Fund expenses, net option
premiums and net realized and unrealized gains on stock
investments. The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially
all of its net realized capital gains, if any.
13
Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income
Fund as
of March 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONTD
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund
distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a
financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America require that only
distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be
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. Distributions in any year
may include a substantial return of capital component. For the
six months ended March 31, 2009, the amount of
distributions estimated to be a tax return of capital was
approximately $29,190,000. The final determination of tax
characteristics of the Funds distributions will occur at
the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the
shareholders.
3 Investment
Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for
management and investment advisory services rendered to the
Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 1.00% of the
Funds average daily gross assets and is payable monthly.
Gross assets as referred to herein represent net assets plus
obligations attributable to investment leverage, if any. The
portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management on the
Funds investment of cash therein is credited against the
Funds adviser fee. For the six months ended March 31,
2009, the Funds adviser fee totaled $2,488,877 of which
$61,056 was allocated from Cash Management and $2,427,821 was
paid or accrued directly by the Fund. Pursuant to a
sub-advisory
agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the
Funds options strategy to Rampart Investment Management
Company, Inc. (Rampart). EVM pays Rampart a portion of its
adviser fee for
sub-advisory
services provided to the Fund. EVM also serves as administrator
of the Fund, but receives no compensation.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, Rampart
reimbursed the Fund $2,400 for a trading error incurred.
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of
EVMs organization, officers and Trustees receive
remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the
investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not
affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of
the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months
ended March 31, 2009, no significant amounts have been
deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers
of EVM.
4 Purchases
and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
obligations, aggregated $185,010,746 and $141,908,487,
respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2009.
5 Common
Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund may issue common shares pursuant to its dividend
reinvestment plan. Common shares issued pursuant to the
Funds dividend reinvestment plan for the six months ended
March 31, 2009 were 26,176. There were no transactions in
common shares for the year ended September 30, 2008.
6 Federal
Income Tax Basis of Investments

7 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 written options, 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 does 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
written call options at March 31, 2009 is included in the
Portfolio of Investments.
Written call options activity for the six months ended
March 31, 2009 was as follows:

8 Fair
Value Measurements
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
(FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, effective
October 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier
hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs,
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)
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
At March 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the
Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as
follows:

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures
about an entitys derivative and hedging activities,
including qualitative disclosures about the objectives and
strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about
fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related
contingent features in derivative instruments. FAS 161 is
effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds
financial statement disclosures.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Fund offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant
to which shareholders may elect to have dividends and capital
gains distributions automatically reinvested in common shares
(the Shares) of the Fund. You may elect to participate in the
Plan by completing the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Application
form. If you do not participate, you will receive all
distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to you by
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as dividend
paying agent. On the distribution payment date, if the net asset
value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per
Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, then new Shares will
be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the
greater of the net asset value per Share or 95% of the market
price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open
market by the Plan Agent. Distributions subject to income tax
(if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.
If your shares are in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or
other nominee, you can ask the firm or nominee to participate in
the Plan on your behalf. If the nominee does not offer the Plan,
you will need to request that your shares be re-registered in
your name with the Funds transfer agent, American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, or you will not be able
to participate.
The Plan Agents service fee for handling distributions
will be paid by the Fund. Each participant will be charged their
pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market
purchases.
Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by
writing to the Plan Agent at the address noted on the following
page. If you withdraw, you will receive shares in your name for
all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a
participant elects by written notice to the Plan Agent to have
the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit
the proceeds, the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee
plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.
If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held
in your own name, you may complete the form on the following
page and deliver it to the Plan Agent.
Any inquiries regarding the Plan can be directed to the Plan
Agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
at 1-866-439-6787.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENT CONTD
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract
Review Committee considered information provided from time to
time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the
Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month
period ended April 30, 2008, the Board met eleven times and
the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the
Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised
solely of Independent Trustees, met twelve, seven and five
times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received,
among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and
other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the
investment performance of each fund and the investment
strategies used in pursuing the funds investment
objective. This Portfolio Management Committee and the
Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee are newly
established and did not meet during the twelve-month period
ended April 30, 2008.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios,
the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s)
when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In
addition, in cases where the funds investment adviser has
engaged a
sub-adviser,
the Board considered similar information about the
sub-adviser
when considering the approval of any
sub-advisory
agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the
contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel
for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review
Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own
business judgment in determining the material factors to be
considered in evaluating each advisory and
sub-advisory
agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The
conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and
sub-advisory
agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the
information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each
member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying
emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with
respect to each advisory and
sub-advisory
agreement.
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 Contract Review Committee
concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory
agreement between the Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund
(the Fund) and Eaton Vance Management (the
Adviser) and the
sub-advisory
agreement with Rampart Investment Management Company, Inc. (the
Sub-adviser),
including their fee structures, is in the interests of
shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee
recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board
accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as
well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the
Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement.
Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment
advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements for the Fund.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent
and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and
the
Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Advisers and the
Sub-advisers
management capabilities and investment process with respect to
the types of investments held by the Fund, including the
education, experience and number of its investment professionals
and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment
research, and similar services to the Fund. In particular, the
Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of
such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit
risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to
investing in particular foreign markets or industries.
Specifically, the Board considered the Advisers in-house
research capabilities as well as other resources available to
personnel of the Adviser, including research services. The Board
also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio
management and other services, including the compensation paid
to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and
attention devoted to the Fund by senior management. With respect
to the
Sub-adviser,
the Board considered the
Sub-advisers
business reputation and its options strategy and its past
experience in implementing this strategy. The Board also took
into consideration the resources dedicated to portfolio
management and other services, including the compensation paid
to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and
attention devoted to the Fund by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser
and
Sub-adviser
and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board
considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal
trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of
portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio
valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment
opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the
Adviser,
Sub-adviser
and their respective affiliates to requests from regulatory
authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative
services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its
affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services.
The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in
a fund that is a part of a large family of funds.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENT CONTD
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the
Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services
provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and
consistent with the terms of the respective investment advisory
and sub-advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a
relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an
independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The
Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-year
period ended September 30, 2007 for the Fund. On the basis
of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board
concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management
Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates,
including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund
(referred to as management fees). As part of its
review, the Board considered the Funds management fee and
total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2007,
as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an
independent data provider.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the
nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the
Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fee charged to
the Fund for advisory and related services and the total expense
ratio of the Fund are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser
and, if applicable, its affiliates in providing investment
advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all
Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of
profits realized with and without regard to revenue sharing or
other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third
parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also
considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the
Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund,
including the benefits of research services that may be
available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions
effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients. The
Board also concluded that, in light of its role as a
sub-adviser
not affiliated with the Adviser, the
Sub-advisers
profitability in managing the Fund was not a material factor.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and
the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the
profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are
reasonable.
Economies
of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also
considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to
realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the
Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in
accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies
of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or
group of funds. The Board also considered the fact that the Fund
is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the
level of the advisers profits with respect to the Fund,
the implementation of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule
is not appropriate at this time. Based upon the foregoing, the
Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are
currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its
affiliates and the Fund.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments
Please see schedule of investments contained in the Report to Stockholders included under Item 1 of
this Form N-CSR.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment
Companies
The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the Fund
Policy), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Funds
investment adviser and adopted the investment advisers proxy voting policies and procedures (the
Policies) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Funds proxy voting records
from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the
event that a conflict of interest arises between the Funds shareholders and the investment
adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment
adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such
conflict until it consults with the Boards Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund
Policy. The Boards Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate
course of action.
The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a companys management to its shareholders
and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. An independent proxy voting
service (Agent), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist
in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping
and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent.
The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer then back to the investment adviser pursuant
to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with
the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating
to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers
contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover
measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible
transactions, except in the case of closed-end management investment companies. The investment
adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. The investment
adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where
it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from
exercising the right to vote or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the
portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.
In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of
interest between the Funds shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of
their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and
prospective corporate clients. The investment advisers personnel responsible for reviewing and
voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from
a company included on that list to the personal of the investment adviser identified in the
Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner
inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel
will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material
conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the
investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.
Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent
12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling
1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov.
