Board-approved liquidation and trustee election are on the September 23, 2025 ballot for Eaton Vance California Municipal Bond Fund and Eaton Vance New York Municipal Bond Fund. The Boards cite persistent asset decline and a concentrated shareholder base as drivers: California net assets fell from $316 million (9/30/2020) to $230 million (6/30/2025) and New York from $240 million to $173 million over the same period. Institutional and activist holders owned approximately 32.21% of California Fund and 35.49% of New York Fund as of May 30, 2025.

If shareholders approve the Plan, each Fund will sell portfolio securities, pay liabilities and make one or more cash liquidating distributions reduced by liquidation expenses. The proxy estimates proxy solicitation costs of ~$60,000 (pro rata) and anticipates liquidation-related transaction costs to not exceed $15,000 per fund as of this filing. The Boards note the Liquidation may affect favorable tax treatment of distributions and that the actual per-share proceeds cannot be predicted at this time.
