with the foregoing Notice of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Eaton Vance
Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (the &#145;&#145;Fund&#146;&#146;), to be held October 13, 2006, for
the benefit of shareholders who do not expect to be present at the meeting. This
proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, and is
revocable by the person giving it prior to exercise by a signed writing filed
with the Fund&#146;s Secretary, or by executing and delivering a later dated proxy,
or by attending the meeting and voting the shares in person. Each proxy will be
voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an
executed proxy will authorize the persons named as attorneys, or any of them, to
vote in favor of the election of each Trustee. This proxy material is being
mailed to shareholders on or about August 29, 2006.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>The Board of Trustees
of the Fund has fixed the close of business on August 17, 2006 as the record
date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote
at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Shareholders at
the close of business on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each
share held. As of August 17, 2006, there were 47,472,742 Common Shares of
beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share of the Fund outstanding. As of
such date, to the Fund&#146;s knowledge, (i) no shareholder beneficially owned more
than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund; and (ii) the Trustees and
executive officers of the Fund, individually and as a group, beneficially owned
less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>The Board of Trustees
of the Fund knows of no business other than that mentioned in Item 1 of the
Notice of Meeting will be presented for consideration. If any other matters are
properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named as attorneys in the
enclosed proxy to vote the proxies in accordance with their judgment on such
matters.</FONT></P>

      TRUSTEES</FONT></B><BR></TD></TR></TABLE></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>The Fund&#146;s Agreement
and Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Trustees shall fix the
number of the entire Board and that such number shall be at least two and no
greater than fifteen. The Board has currently fixed the number of Trustees at
eight. The Fund&#146;s Agreement and Declaration of Trust further provides that the
Board of Trustees shall be divided into three classes. The term of office of the
Class II Trustees expires on the date of the 2006 Annual Meeting, and the term
of office of the Class III and Class I Trustees will expire one and two years
thereafter, respectively. Only nominees for Class II Trustee are currently
proposed for election. Trustees chosen to succeed the Trustees whose terms are
expiring will be elected for a three-year term. An effect of staggered terms is
to limit the ability of entities or persons to acquire control of the
Fund.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>Proxies will be voted
for the election of the following Class II Trustee nominees: William H. Park and
Ronald A. Pearlman. Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee and has
consented to continue to so serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to
serve for any reason (which is not now expected) when the election occurs, the
accompanying Proxy will be voted for such other person or persons as the Board
of Trustees may recommend. No nominee is a party adverse to the Fund or any of
its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee
have an interest materially adverse to the Fund.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>The Class III Trustees
serving until the 2007 Annual Meeting are Norton H. Reamer, Lynn A. Stout and
Ralph F. Verni. The Class I Trustees serving until the 2008 Annual Meeting are
Benjamin C. Esty, James B. Hawkes and Samuel L. Hayes, III.</FONT></P>

Each Audit Committee member is independent under applicable listing standards of
the New York Stock Exchange. The purposes of the Audit Committee are to (i)
oversee the Fund&#146;s accounting and financial reporting processes, its internal
control over financial reporting, and, as appropriate, the internal control over
financial reporting of certain service providers; (ii) oversee or, as
appropriate, assist Board oversight of the quality and integrity of the Fund&#146;s
financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (iii) oversee, or, as
appropriate, assist Board oversight of, the Fund&#146;s compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements that relate to the Fund&#146;s accounting and financial
reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits;
(iv) approve, prior to appointment, the engagement and, when appropriate,
replacement of the independent auditors, and, if applicable, nominate
independent auditors to be proposed for shareholder ratification in any proxy
statement of the Fund; (v) evaluate the qualifications, independence and
performance of the independent auditors and the audit partner in charge of
leading the audit; and (vi) prepare such Audit Committee reports consistent with
the requirements of Rule 306 of Regulation S-K for inclusion in the proxy
statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund. The Fund&#146;s Board
of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Audit Committee, a copy of
which, without appendices, is attached as Exhibit A. The Audit Committee&#146;s
Report is set forth below under &#145;&#145;Additional Information&#146;&#146;. The Board of
Trustees of the Fund has designated Messrs. Park, Hayes and Reamer as the Fund&#146;s
Audit Committee financial experts.</FONT></P>

evaluate and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the
following matters: (i) contractual arrangements with each service provider to
the Fund, including advisory, sub-advisory, transfer agency, custodial and fund
accounting, distribution services (if any) and administrative services; (ii) any
and all other matters in which any of the Fund&#146;s service providers (including
Eaton Vance or any affiliated entity thereof) has an actual or potential
conflict of interest with the interests of the Fund or its shareholders; and

of the Board and the compensation of Independent Trustees.</FONT></P>

Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Governance Committee, a copy of
which is attached as Exhibit B but is not available on the Fund&#146;s website. The
Governance Committee identifies candidates by obtaining referrals from such
sources as it deems appropriate, which may include current Trustees, management
of the Fund, counsel and other advisors to the Trustees, and shareholders of the
Fund who submit recommendations in accordance with the procedures described in
the Committee&#146;s charter. In no event shall the Governance Committee consider as
a candidate to fill any vacancy an individual recommended by management of the
Fund, unless the Governance Committee has invited management to make such a
recommendation. The Governance Committee will, when a vacancy exists or is
anticipated, consider any nominee for Independent Trustee recommended by a
shareholder if such recommendation is submitted in writing to the Governance
Committee, contains sufficient background information concerning the candidate,
including evidence the candidate is willing to serve as an Independent Trustee
if selected for the position, and is received in a sufficiently timely manner.
The Governance Committee&#146;s procedures for identifying and evaluating candidates
for the position of Independent Trustee, including the procedures to be followed

Committee will consider, are set forth in Appendix A to the Committee&#146;s

who are not affiliated with Eaton Vance may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Trustees
Deferred Compensation Plan (the &#145;&#145;Trustees&#146; Plan&#146;&#146;). Under the Trustees&#146; Plan,
an eligible Trustee may elect to have his or her deferred fees invested by the
Fund in the shares of one or more funds in the Eaton Vance Fund Complex, and the
amount paid to the Trustees under the Trustees&#146; Plan will be determined based
upon the performance of such investments. Deferral of Trustees&#146; fees in
accordance with the Trustees&#146; Plan will have a negligible effect on the Fund&#146;s
assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate the Fund to
retain the services of any Trustee or obligate the Fund to pay any particular
level of compensation to the Trustee. The Fund does not have a retirement plan
for its Trustees.</FONT></P>

and discussed the audited financial statements with Fund management. The Audit
Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm
the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on
Auditing Standards), as modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee received
the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public
accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1

Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented, and discussed with the
independent registered public accounting firm their independence.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the review and discussions
referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that
the audited financial statements be included in the Fund&#146;s annual report to
shareholders for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. As mentioned, the Audit Committee is
comprised of Messrs. Reamer (Chair), Hayes, Park, Verni and Ms. Stout.</P>

costs of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Fund will
be borne by the Fund. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may be solicited in

administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, PFPC Inc., or by
broker-dealer firms. The expenses associated with the solicitation of these
proxies and with any further proxies which may be solicited by the Fund&#146;s
officers, by Eaton Vance personnel, by PFPC Inc., or by broker-dealer firms, in
person, or by telephone or by facsimile will be borne by the Fund. A written
proxy may be delivered to the Fund or its transfer agent prior to the meeting by
facsimile machine, graphic communication equipment or similar electronic
transmission. The Fund will reimburse banks, broker-dealer firms, and other
persons holding shares registered in their names or in the names of their
nominees, for their expenses incurred in sending proxy material to and obtaining
proxies from the beneficial owners of such shares. Total estimated proxy
solicitation costs are approximately $121,500.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=+0>All proxy cards
solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by
the Secretary prior to the meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at
the meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with
the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on the proxy card with
respect to Proposal 1, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy
card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards
establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes. (Broker non-votes are shares
for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the
shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.)
Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes, which will be treated as shares
that are present at the meeting but which have not been voted, will assist the
Fund in obtaining a quorum, but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal
1.</FONT></P>

quorum is not present at the meeting, or if a quorum is present at the meeting

set forth in the Notice of this meeting are not received by October 13, 2006,
the persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy may propose one or more
adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares present in person or by proxy at the session of the meeting to be
adjourned. The persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy will vote in
favor of such adjournment those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor

      The Committee is not responsible for managing the Funds or for performing
      tasks that are delegated to the officers of any Fund, any investment
      adviser to a Fund, the custodian of a Fund, and other service providers
      for the Funds, and nothing in this charter shall be construed to reduce
      the responsibilities or liabilities of man- agement or the Funds&#146; service
      providers, including the independent auditors. It is management&#146;s
      responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal
      control over financial reporting. Specifically, management is responsible
      for: (1) the preparation, presentation and integ- rity of the financial
      statements of each Fund; (2) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and
      financial reporting principles and policies; and (3) the maintenance of
      internal control over finan- cial reporting and other procedures designed
      to assure compliance with accounting standards and related laws and
      regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for planning and
      carrying out an audit consistent with applicable legal and professional
      standards and the terms of their engagement letter, and shall report
      directly to the Audit Committee. In performing its oversight function, the
      Committee shall be entitled to rely upon advice and information that it
      receives in its discussions and communications with management, the
      independent auditors and such experts, advisors and professionals as may
      be consulted by the Committee.</TD></TR>

      control of financial reporting), with any independent auditors rendering
      reports to the Audit Committee or the Board of Trustees and with legal
