IMPORTANT
NOTICES
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 distributions equal to
$0.0922 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(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of
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 at
www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at
1-800-262-1122
or in the EDGAR database on the SECs 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.
Additional Notice to Shareholders. The Fund may
purchase shares of its common stock in the open market when they
trade at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the
Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no
assurance that the Fund will take such action or that such
purchases would reduce the discount.

cover of this report for an important notice about

organization.

Economic
and Market Conditions
|
|
U.S. stocks finished 2010 with solid double-digit returns for the major market
indices, despite the lingering effects of the Great Recession. The year overall was
bracketed by solid quarters at both ends, with some weakness in the middle. The weakness
came as a variety of concernsincluding a stubborn European credit crisis, a devastating
oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and growing political uncertainties in the U.S.caused a
spike in volatility at midyear, taking many markets down. |
|
|
|
The year ended on a decidedly higher note, however, as equity investors seemed
encouraged by the continued modest growth of the U.S. economy and by ongoing signs of
improvements in corporate business fundamentals. Investment flows started to favor equities
over bonds as longer-term interest rates began to rise toward year-end. |
|
|
|
The broad-based S&P 500 Index was up 15.06% for the year ending December 31, 2010, while
the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 14.06% and the technology-heavy NASDAQ
Composite Index rose 18.16%. Growth indices outperformed value indices across all market
capitalizations for the year. Meanwhile, small-cap and mid-cap stocks outperformed their
larger-cap counterparts by wide margins, although all of the corresponding indices were
firmly anchored in positive territory. |
Management
Discussion
|
|
The Fund is a closed-end fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
under the symbol EOS. At net asset value (NAV) for the year ending December 31, 2010, the
Fund underperformed its primary benc-chmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and its Lipper
peer group, but it outpaced both the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index and the CBOE NASDAQ-100
BuyWrite Index.1 The Funds market price traded at a 4.83% discount to NAV as of
period end. |
|
|
|
The Funds primary objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective
of capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund pursues its investment
objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of mid- and large-capitalization common
stocks, seeking to invest mostly in companies with above-average growth and financial
strength potential. The Fund seeks to generate current earnings in part by employing an
options strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its
portfolio securities. During the year ending December 31, 2010, the covered call program
prevented the Fund from attaining greater upside market capture. In the aggregate, stocks
in the portfolio moved higher and in excess of their respective call strikes by more than
the premiums received, resulting in an overall option loss. The Fund did, however,
outperform its option benchmark, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index. |

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 last regular distribution per share in
the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV or market price at the end of the period. The
Funds distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and return of
capital. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by
determining the percentage change in net asset value or market price (as applicable) with all
distributions reinvested. The Funds performance at market price will differ from its results at
NAV. Although market price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during
shorter periods, returns at market 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.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
|
|
Among the Funds common stock holdings, its largest sector weightings on December 31, 2010,
were in information technology (IT), consumer discretionary and industrials. The performance of
some of the Funds holdings in the speciality retail, metals and mining, and machinery industries
detracted from its relative results, as did an underweighting of the materials sector and an
overweight in the Internet software and sales segment of the IT sector. On the upside, security
selection in health care equipment/supplies, Internet software/services and household durables
industries contributed positively to the Funds performance. |
|
|
|
As of December 31, 2010, the Fund had written call options on approximately 50% of its
equity holdings. The Fund seeks current earnings in part from option premiums, which can vary with
investors expectations of the future volatility (implied volatility) of the Funds underlying
assets. During the first and fourth calendar quarters of 2010, there were relatively low levels of
implied volatility, with correspondingly low levels of actual volatility in the equity markets.
However, the second and early third calendar quarters of the year experienced increases in
volatility levels. |
|
|
|
On December 14, 2010, the Fund announced a change in its monthly distribution rate,
effective with its December 31, 2010, distribution payment. The Funds portfolio management team
reviews the level and sustainability of the Funds distributions periodically. Before deciding to
decrease the amount of the Funds distribution to $0.0922 per share, the team considered several
factors including the current market outlook and volatility environment, the dividend yield of the
underlying equity portfolio and the level of other income yielding assets in the marketplace. The
portfolio management team believes a reduction in the Funds distributions will help strike a
greater balance in the delivery of total return, including both distributions and the opportunity
for capital appreciation. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid
by the Fund could be further changed. |
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.

Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income
Fund II as
of December 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant
Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (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 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 (including common
shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 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 a third party pricing service that will use 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. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between
the bid and asked prices at valuation time as reported by the
Options Price Reporting Authority for U.S. listed options or by
the relevant exchange or board of trade for
non-U.S.
listed options.
Over-the-counter
options are valued by a third party pricing service using
techniques that consider factors including the value of the
underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying
instrument and the period of time until option expiration.
Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity
of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market value. 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. 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 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
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 Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash
Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by
Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally
values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost
valuation technique in accordance with
Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act. 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
Reserves Fund may value its investment securities based on
available market quotations provided by a third party 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 the Fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign
dividends and capital gains have been
11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS CONTD
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 December 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax
purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $181,438,490 which
will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire
on December 31, 2016 ($21,507,578) and December 31,
2017 ($159,930,912). In addition, such capital loss
carryforward cannot be utilized prior to the utilization of new
capital loss carryovers, if any, created after December 31,
2010.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, a capital loss
carryforward of $870,648 was utilized to offset net realized
gains by the Fund.
Additionally, at December 31, 2010, the Fund had a net
capital loss of $2,864,859 attributable to security transactions
incurred after October 31, 2010. This net capital loss is
treated as arising on the first day of the Funds taxable
year ending December 31, 2011.
As of December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 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. Under Massachusetts law, if certain
conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business
trust (such as the Fund) could be deemed to have personal
liability for the obligations of the Fund. However, the
Funds Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer
of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws
provide that the Fund shall assume 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.
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
12
Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income
Fund II as
of December 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS CONTD
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.
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 (reduced by available
capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any).
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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was
as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2010, accumulated
undistributed net investment income was decreased by $31,558 and
accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $31,558 due to
differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for
foreign currency gain (loss) and distributions from real estate
investment trusts (REITs). These reclassifications had no effect
on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of December 31, 2010, the components of distributable
earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

The differences between components of distributable earnings
(accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to
wash sales and investments in partnerships.
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. Prior
to its liquation in February 2010, the portion of the
adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated
investment company, on the Funds investment of cash
therein was credited against the Funds investment adviser
fee. The Fund currently invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund.
EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services
provided to Cash Reserves Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, the Funds investment adviser fee
totaled $6,085,736 of which $989 was allocated from Cash
Management Portfolio and $6,084,747 was paid or accrued directly
by the Fund. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but
receives no compensation.
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 year ended
December 31, 2010, 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 $297,532,579 and $368,983,818,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
5 Common
Shares of Beneficial Interest
Common shares issued pursuant to the Funds dividend
reinvestment plan for the years ended December 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 were 301,721 and
346,924, respectively.

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 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
written call options at December 31, 2010 is included in
the Portfolio of Investments.
Written call options activity for the year ended

At December 31, 2010, the Fund had sufficient cash
and/or
securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objectives.
The Fund generally intends to write covered call options on
individual stocks above the current value of the stock to
generate premium income. In writing call options on individual
stocks, the Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the
value of the applicable stock above the exercise price in
exchange for the option premium received. The Fund retains the
risk of loss, minus the premium received, should the price of
the underlying stock decline. The Fund is not subject to
counterparty credit risk with respect to its written options as
the Fund, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform under
such derivatives.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be
hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and
whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at
December 31, 2010 was as follows:

8 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

Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income
Fund II as
of December 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees
and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income
Fund II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II
(the Fund), including the portfolio of investments,
as of December 31, 2010, and 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,
and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Fund offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant
to which shareholders may elect to have distributions
automatically reinvested in common shares (the Shares) of the
Fund. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (AST), the
Funds Transfer Agent, serves as agent for the shareholders
in administering the Plan (Plan Agent). 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 AST as Plan 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 AST 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 at 1-866-439-6787.

Overview
of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act), provides, in substance, that each investment
advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser
will continue in effect from year to year only if its

trustees who are not interested persons of the fund
(Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONTRACT
APPROVAL 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, 2010, with respect to one or more
Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review
Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the
Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and
Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee
comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen,
three, eight and fifteen 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 including, where relevant, the use of
derivative instruments, as well as trading policies and
procedures and risk management techniques.
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 of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II
(the Fund), with Eaton Vance Management (the
Adviser), including its fee structure, is in the
interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review
Committee recommended to the Board approval of the 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 the
agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the
investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory
agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent
and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the 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. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities
and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors
such as credit risk, and special considerations relevant to
investing in particular markets or industries and implementing
the Funds options strategy. The Board considered the
Advisers in-house research capabilities as well as other
resources available to personnel of the Adviser. The Board also
took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio
management and other services, including the compensation
methods 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 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 and its affiliates to requests in recent years from
regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative
services provided or managed by the Adviser 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.
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 investment advisory agreement.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONTRACT
APPROVAL CONTD
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a
relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an
independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly
managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board
reviewed comparative performance data for the
one- and
three-year
periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board
concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management
Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates
payable by the Fund (referred to as management
fees). As part of its review, the Board considered the
management fees and the Funds total expense ratio for the
year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of
similarly managed funds selected by an independent data
provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact
on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response
to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as
actions being taken to reduce expenses at the Eaton Vance fund
complex level.
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 fees charged
for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser
and relevant affiliates thereof 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 and
its affiliates 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 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.

(e)(1) The registrants audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to
the pre-approval of services provided by the registrants principal accountant (the Pre-Approval
Policies). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee
in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the
Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services
determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures
governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit
and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval
Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must
be reviewed and ratified by the registrants audit committee at least annually. The registrants
audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of
the work of the registrants principal accountant.
(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrants audit
committee pursuant to the de minimis exception set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation

tax, and other services) billed to the Eaton Vance organization by D&T for the same time periods.

The investment adviser to the registrant, as well as any of its affiliates that
provide ongoing services to the registrant, are subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp. |
(h) The registrants audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrants
principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrants investment adviser and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services
to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is
compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants
The registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. William H. Park
(Chair), Helen Frame Peters, Lynn A. Stout and Ralph F. Verni are the members of the registrants
audit committee.
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 them 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 personnel 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.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies
Walter A. Row, Michael A. Allison and other Eaton Vance Management (EVM) investment professionals

responsibilities with respect to the Funds investment portfolio. Mr. Row is a Vice President and
Head of Structured Equity Portfolios at EVM. He is a member of EVMs Equity Strategy Committee and
co-manages other Eaton Vance registered investment companies. He joined Eaton Vances equity group
in 1996. Mr. Allison is a Vice President of EVM and a co-portfolio manager for other Eaton Vance
registered investment companies. He is a member of EVMs Equity Strategy Committee. He first

The following table shows, as of the Funds most recent fiscal year end, the number of accounts
each portfolio manager managed in each of the listed categories and the total assets (in millions
of dollars) in the accounts managed within each category. The table also shows the number of
accounts with respect to which the advisory fee is based on the performance of the account, if any,
and the total assets (in millions of dollars) in those accounts.

Potential for Conflicts of Interest. It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in
connection with a portfolio managers management of a Funds investments on the one hand and the
investments of other accounts for which the portfolio manager is responsible on the other. For
example, a portfolio manager may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time,
resources and investment opportunities among the Fund and other accounts he or she advises. In
addition, due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between a Fund and the
other accounts, a portfolio manager may take action with respect to another account that differs
from the action taken with respect to the Fund. In some cases, another account managed by a
portfolio manager may compensate EVM or the sub-adviser based on the performance of the securities
held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts
of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and
investment opportunities. Whenever conflicts of interest arise, the portfolio manager will
endeavor to exercise his or her discretion in a manner that he or she believes is equitable to all
interested persons. EVM and the sub-adviser have adopted several policies and procedures designed
to address these potential conflicts including a code of ethics and policies which govern EVMs and
the sub-advisers trading practices, including among other things the aggregation and allocation of
trades among clients, brokerage allocation, cross trades and best execution.
Compensation Structure for EVM
Compensation of EVMs portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary
components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) annual stock-based compensation
consisting of options to purchase shares of EVCs nonvoting common stock and restricted shares of
EVCs nonvoting common stock. EVMs investment professionals also receive certain retirement,
insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to EVMs employees. Compensation of EVMs
investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based
compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or
shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.
Method to Determine Compensation. EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the
scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of
managed funds and accounts versus the benchmark(s) stated in the prospectus, as well as an
appropriate peer group (as described below). In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds
on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to relative risk-adjusted
performance. Risk-adjusted performance measures include, but are not limited to, the Sharpe Ratio.
Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end.
Fund performance is normally evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by
Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. When a funds peer group as determined by Lipper or
Morningstar is deemed by EVMs management not to provide a fair comparison, performance may instead
be evaluated primarily against a custom peer group. In evaluating the performance of a fund and
its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary
consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that are tax-managed or
otherwise have an objective of after-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other
funds, performance is evaluated on a pre-tax basis. For funds with an investment objective other
than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the funds success
in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment
performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among
managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not
accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance.
The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an
investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) will include consideration of
the scope of such responsibilities and the managers performance in meeting them. EVM seeks to
compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and
competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in
investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining
salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment
professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating
performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is based on a
substantially fixed percentage of pre-bonus operating income. While the salaries of EVMs portfolio
managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate
significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as
described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based
compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.
