<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A proxy is enclosed with the foregoing Notice of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (the "Fund"), to be held October 17, 2008, 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 25, 2008.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Trustees of the Fund has fixed the close of business on August 13, 2008 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 13, 2008, there were 47,844,178 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.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Trustees of the Fund knows of no business other than that mentioned in Item 1 of the Notice of Meeting which 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.</P>

<TABLE>
<TR>
     <TD noWrap align=center><B>PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES</B></TD></TR></TABLE></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 will fix the appropriate number of Trustees from time to time. 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 I Trustees expires on the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting, and the term of office of the Class II and Class III Trustees will expire one and two years thereafter, respectively. Accordingly, only nominees for Class I 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.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxies will be voted for the election of the following Class I Trustee nominees: Benjamin C. Esty, Thomas E. Faust Jr. and Allen R. Freedman. 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. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement. The Trustees of the Fund shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote. 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.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Class II Trustees serving until the 2009 Annual Meeting are William H. Park, Ronald A. Pearlman and Heidi L. Steiger. The Class III Trustees serving until the 2010 Annual Meeting are Lynn A. Stout and Ralph F. Verni.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The nominees for Class I Trustee and the Fund&#146;s current Class II and Class III Trustees and their principal occupations for at least the last five years are as described below.</P>

<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thomas E. Faust Jr. is an &#147;interested person&#148; (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;)) by reason of his affiliation with EVM, the Fund&#146;s investment adviser, and EVC, a publicly-held holding company, which owns all the outstanding shares of EVM and of EVM&#146;s trustee, EV. (EVM, EVC, and their affiliates are sometimes referred to collectively as the &#147;Eaton Vance Organization&#148;.) Mr. Faust holds positions with other Eaton Vance affiliates that are comparable to his position with Eaton Vance listed above.</P>
<P align=left><B>Board Meetings and Committees</B></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Trustees of the Fund met eleven times. The Board of Trustees has several formal standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Contract Review Committee (formerly, the Special Committee), a Governance Committee, a Portfolio Management Committee and a Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee. The Audit Committee met seven times, the Contract Review Committee met eleven times and the Governance Committee met three times during such period. The Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee were recently formed, so they did not convene during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Each Trustee attended at least 75% of the Board and Committee meetings on which he or she serves. None of the Trustees attended the Fund&#146;s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund is comprised of only those Trustees who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; as that term is defined under the 1940 Act (&#147;Independent Trustees&#148;). The respective duties and responsibilities of these Committees remain under the continuing review of the Governance Committee and the Board.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Messrs. Park (Chair) and Verni and Mmes. Steiger and Stout serve on the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, such Audit Committee being established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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</P>

<P align=left>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, as necessary, such Audit Committee reports consistent with the requirements of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), American Stock Exchange and 
New York Stock Exchange rules 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 is attached as Exhibit A. The written charter is also available on the Eaton Vance website, www.eatonvance.com. The Audit Committee&#146;s Report is set forth below under &#147;Additional Information&#148;. The Board of Trustees of the Fund have designated Mr. Park as the Fund&#146;s Audit Committee financial expert.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Messrs. Verni (Chair), Esty, Freedman, Park and Pearlman serve on the Contract Review Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The purposes of the Contract Review Committee are to consider, 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 (iii) any other matter appropriate for review by the Independent Trustees, unless the matter is within the responsibilities of the Audit Committee or the Governance Committee of the Fund.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Messrs. Messrs. Esty (Chair), Freedman and Park are currently members of the Portfolio Management Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The purposes of the Portfolio Management Committee are to: (i) assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight of the portfolio management process employed by the Fund and its investment adviser and sub-adviser(s), if applicable, relative to the Fund&#146;s stated objective(s), strategies and restrictions; (ii) assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight of the trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques applicable to the Fund; and (iii) assist the Board of Trustees in its monitoring of the performance results of all funds, giving special attention to the performance of certain funds that it or the Board of Trustees identifies from time to time.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Pearlman (Chair) and Mmes. Steiger and Stout are currently members of the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The purposes of the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee are to: (i) assist the Board of Trustees in its oversight role with respect to compliance issues and certain other regulatory matters affecting the Fund; (ii) serve as a liaison between the Board of Trustees and the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer; and (iii) serve as a &#147;qualified legal compliance committee&#148; within the rules promulgated by the SEC.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mmes. Stout (Chair) and Steiger, and Messrs. Esty, Freedman, Park, Pearlman and Verni serve on the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Each Governance Committee member is independent under applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The purpose of the Governance Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees with respect to the structure, membership and operation of the Board of Trustees and the Committees thereof, including the nomination and selection of Independent Trustees and a Chairperson of the Board and the compensation of Independent Trustees.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&#146;s Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Governance Committee, a copy of which is available on the Eaton Vance website, www.eatonvance.com. 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 s
ufficient 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 by shareholders of the Fund wishing to recommend such candidates for consideration by the Governance Committee and the qualifications the Governance Committee will consider, are set forth in an appendix to the Committee&#146;s charter.</P>

<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trustees of the Fund 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 &#147;Trustees&#146; Plan&#148;). 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.</P>

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 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with 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 year ended December 31, 2007 for filing with the SEC. As mentioned, the Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Park (Chair) and Verni and Mmes. Steiger and Stout.</P>

<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&#146;s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm (the &#147;Pre-Approval Policies&#148;). 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 Fund&#146;s Audit Committee at least annually. The Fund&#146;s Audit Committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm.</P>

<P align=left><B>Proxy Solicitation and Tabulation</B></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and enclosures and the 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 person or by telephone or facsimile by officers of the Fund, by personnel of its administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, 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 American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, 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 $125,000.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote. In the event that a quorum is not present at the meeting, or if a quorum is present at the meeting but sufficient votes by the shareholders of the Fund in favor of the Proposal set forth in the Notice of this meeting are not received by October 17, 2008, 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 of the Proposal for which further solicitation of proxies is to be made. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxie
s required to be voted against such Proposal. The costs of any such additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the Fund. If any of the nominees are not elected by shareholders, the current Trustees may consider other courses of action.</P>
<P align=left><B>Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance</B></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms received by the Fund, all of the Trustees and officers of the Fund, EVM and its affiliates, Rampart Investment Management and any person who owns more than ten percent of the Fund&#146;s outstanding securities have made all filings required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding ownership of shares of the Fund for the Fund&#146;s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>The Fund will furnish without charge a copy of its most recent Annual and Semiannual Reports to any shareholder upon request. Shareholders desiring to obtain a copy of such reports should write to the Fund c/o American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038.</I></P>

<P align=left>The Chairperson of the Committee or another member of the Committee will conduct an initial evaluation of each Complaint received by the Committee as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt. In connection with the initial evaluation, the Chairperson of the Committee (or such other of the Committee) will determine whether the Complaint actually relates to the accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters of a Fund and, if not, whether it should be reviewed by a party other than the Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee shall also determine whether the Complaint requires investigation by the Committee.</P>
<P align=left>After the initial evaluation is complete, all Complaints requiring investigation by the Committee will be discussed at the next regularly-scheduled meeting of the Committee, or a specially-scheduled meeting in advance thereof. The Committee shall investigate the Complaints as follows:</P>
