For
purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or
Fitch
Ratings
(“Fitch”), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the
ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are
subject to
change,
apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities
and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a
bond
based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA,
being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures.
Ratings
of
BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are
considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based
largely on the ratings
agency’s
analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular
security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial
condition
and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a
security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the
security.
Holdings
designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings
agencies stated above. |

Bloomberg
3 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of
municipal
bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 2-4
years.
Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect
of
any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or
leverage,
as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an
index. |

The
shares of the Fund often trade at a discount or premium to their
net
asset value. The discount or premium may vary over time and
may
be higher or lower than what is quoted in this report. For
up-to-date
premium/discount information, please refer to
https://funds.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-prices.php. |

The
Distribution Rate is calculated by dividing the Fund’s last regular
distribution
paid per share in the period (annualized) by the Fund’s
NAV
or market price (the price at which the Fund is traded on the
exchange)
at the end of the period. A Fund’s distributions in any
period
may be more or less than the net return earned by the Fund on
its
investments and should not be used as a measure of performance
or
confused with “yield” or “income.” The
Fund has adopted a policy to pay common shareholders a stable
monthly
distribution. A portion of the Fund’s distributions may be
subject
to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax. In an effort to
maintain
a stable distribution amount, the Fund may pay distributions
consisting
of amounts characterized for U.S. federal income tax
purposes
as exempt-interest dividends, ordinary dividends (including
qualified
dividends), capital gain distributions and nondividend
distributions,
also known as return of capital distributions. A
nondividend
or return of capital distribution results from a Fund
distributing
more than its net investment income and net realized
capital
gain for a given tax period and may represent a return of some
or
all of the money that an investor invested in the Fund’s shares,
which,
like other distributions, can cause the Fund’s NAV to erode.
There
is no assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay
distributions
of a particular size. With
each distribution, the Fund issues a notice to shareholders and a
press
release containing information about the amount and sources of
the
distribution and related information. Notices and press releases
for
the
last 24 months are available on our website https://www.
eatonvance.com/resources/closed-end-fund-distribution-notices-19a.html.
The
amounts and sources of distributions are only estimates and are
not
provided for tax reporting purposes. The U.S. federal income tax
character
of distributions paid to a shareholder is reported on IRS
Form
1099-DIV, which is provided to shareholders shortly after the
end
of each calendar year. The
amount of the Fund’s distributions is determined by the
investment
adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s
long-term
return potential. Fund distributions may be affected by
numerous
factors including changes in Fund performance, the cost of
financing
for Funds that employ leverage, portfolio holdings, realized
and
projected returns, and other factors. As portfolio and market
conditions
change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could
change.
Shareholders should not assume that the source of any
distribution
from the Fund is net income or profit. Taxable-equivalent
distributions are calculated using a 40.8% U.S.
federal
income tax rate, which reflects the maximum U.S. federal tax
|
|
|
rate
of 37% plus the 3.8% U.S. federal Medicare surtax. Where
applicable,
the calculation also includes the highest individual U.S.
state
income tax rate for residents of the state for which a Fund’s
income
is designed to be exempt. Local income taxes and other
applicable
taxes are not considered in the calculation. |
|
5
|
Fund
employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments
provides
an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time,
creates
special risks (including the likelihood of greater price
volatility).
The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in
short-term
interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in
Conjunction
with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial
statements
for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage
represents
the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period
end
as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate
Notes. |

is based on net assets. | |
|
(1)
|
Variable
rate demand obligation that may be tendered at par on any day
for
payment the same or next business day. The stated interest rate,
which

|
(2)
|
Security
exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain
transactions
in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to
qualified
institutional buyers). At July 31, 2026, the aggregate value of
these

assets. |
|

various
financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The
aggregate
percentage insured by an individual financial institution or
financial
guaranty assurance agency ranged from 2.0% to 6.4% of total
investments. |

Who
is providing this
notice? |
Morgan
Stanley Investment Management Inc. and its investment management
affiliates
(“MSIM”)
(See Affiliates definition below.) |
|
What
we Do | |
|
How
does MSIM
protect
my personal
information? |
To
protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use
security
measures
that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards
and
secured files and buildings. We have policies governing the proper
handling of
customer
information by personnel and requiring third parties that provide support
to
adhere
to appropriate security standards with respect to such
information. |
|
How
does MSIM
collect
my personal
information? |
We
collect your personal information, for example, when you
■ open
an account or make deposits or withdrawals from your account
■ buy
securities from us or make a wire transfer
■ give
us your contact information
We
also collect your personal information from others, such as credit
bureaus, affiliates,
or
other companies. |
|
Why
can’t I limit all sharing? |
Federal
law gives you the right to limit only
■ sharing
for affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about your
creditworthiness
■ affiliates
from using your information to market to you
■ sharing
for non-affiliates to market to you
State
laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit
sharing. See
below
for more on your rights under state law. |
|
What
happens when I limit
sharing
for an account I hold
jointly
with someone else? |
Your
choices will apply to everyone on your account. |
