IMPORTANT
NOTICES REGARDING DISTRIBUTIONS,
DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENTS,
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS AND PROXY VOTING
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 quarterly cash
distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed
amount per common share.
The Fund intends to pay quarterly cash distributions during
January, April, July and October equal to $0.45 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.

In some ways, the six-month period ending June 30,
2009, was a healing period for equity markets. After a
dismal January and February, stocks rallied sharply as
investors became more comfortable
with riskier assets, encouraged by
the economic green shoots and the
improvements in many parts of the
credit markets the epicenter of
the financial crisis. Many large
banks and financial institutions
were able to access the capital
markets and did so to raise cash and
strengthen their balance sheets. In
addition, the federal government
demonstrated a clear commitment to
repair the domestic economy and
financial system with a tsunami of
government-sponsored programs. |
|
|
|
After six consecutive quarters of
negative returns, stocks generated
strong returns in the second quarter
of 2009 and extended the rally that
began in early March. For the six
months overall, the NASDAQ
Composite gained 16.36%reflecting
investors renewed interest in technology
stocksand the S&P 500 Index increased
3.19%. Elsewhere on the capitalization
spectrum, the Russell 2000 Index rose
2.64%, but the Dow Jones Industrial
Average declined 2.01%.1 |
|
|
|
Meanwhile, growth outperformed value across the
market-cap spectrum. This dichotomy came as investors
migrated from the traditional value sectors of
financials and industrials to the information
technology and health care sectors that are more
heavily weighted in the growth benchmarks. |
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 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.

The Fund is a closed-end fund and trades on the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol ETB. At net
asset value (NAV), the Fund outperformed the
S&P 500 Index, the CBOE S&P 500
BuyWrite Index and its Lipper peer
group for the six months ending June
30, 2009. The Funds market price
traded at a 0.65% premium to NAV as of
June 30, 2009. |
|
|
|
The Funds primary investment
objective is to provide current income
and gains, with a secondary objective
of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment
objectives by investing in a
diversified portfolio of common
stocks that seeks to exceed the total
performance of the S&P 500 Index.
Under normal market conditions, the
Fund seeks to generate current
earnings in part by employing an
options strategy of writing (selling)
S&P 500 Index call options on
substantially the full value of the
holdings of common stocks. During the
six months ending June 30, 2009, the
Fund continued to provide
shareholders with attractive
quarterly distributions. |

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 |
|
Six-month returns are cumulative. |
|
3 |
|
The Distribution Rate is based on the
Funds most recent quarterly distribution per
share (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV or
market price at the end of the period. The
Funds quarterly distributions may be comprised
of ordinary income, net realized capital gains
and return of capital. |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund as of June 30, 2009
INVESTMENT UPDATE
|
|
The Fund maintained a diversified portfolio, with investments in industries throughout the U.S.
economy that tracked the S&P 500 Index. Among the Funds common stock holdings, its largest common
stock sector allocations, as of June 30, 2009, were information technology, health care,
financials, energy and consumer staples. The Funds relative performance benefited from stocks held
in the financials and information technology sectors. In addition, stock selection in the utilities
sector helped performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. The Funds exposure to health care stocks
detracted from performance as the sector faced uncertainty surrounding the health care reform
initiative. Stock selection in materials also limited Fund performance. |
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2009, the Fund had written call options on approximately 100% 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 underlying assets.
The first three months of 2009 witnessed very high levels of implied volatility in concert with a
significant level of actual volatility in the equity markets. Those high volatility levels
moderated somewhat in the second quarter of 2009 in light of the strong market advance, which
resulted in reduced option premium levels. |
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.

Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income
Fund as
of June 30, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant
Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund (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 and gains, with a secondary objective of capital
appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objectives by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to generate
current earnings in part by employing an options strategy of
writing S&P 500 Index call options with respect to a
substantial portion of its common stock portfolio.
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 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 last sale price for the day of valuation as
quoted on any exchange on which the option is listed or, in the
absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the closing
bid and asked prices therefore as reported by the Options Price
Reporting Authority.
Over-the-counter
options are valued based on broker quotations, when available
and deemed reliable. Short-term debt securities 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, 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 financial condition, and an
evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the
market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
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 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
12
Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income
Fund as
of June 30, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONTD
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.
As of June 30, 2009, 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, 2008 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, and shareholders are indemnified against
personal liability for the obligations of the Fund.
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 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.
J Interim
Financial Statements The interim financial
statements relating to June 30, 2009 and for the six months
then ended have not been audited by an independent registered
public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Funds
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of
the financial statements.
2 Distributions
to Shareholders
Subject to its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund intends to
make quarterly 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, 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the
amount of distributions estimated to be a tax return of capital
was approximately $18,550,000. The final
13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONTD
determination of tax characteristics of the Funds
distributions will occur at the end of the year, at which time
it will be reported to the shareholders.
3 Investment
Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management
(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. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the
investment adviser fee amounted to $1,579,783. Pursuant to
sub-advisory
agreements, EVM has delegated a portion of the investment
management to Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (Parametric),
an affiliate of EVM, and delegated the investment management of
the Funds options strategy to Rampart Investment
Management Company, Inc. (Rampart). EVM pays Parametric and
Rampart a portion of its advisory fee for
sub-advisory
services provided to 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 six months
ended June 30, 2009, 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 $76,152,805 and $75,674,307,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
5 Common
Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund may issue common shares pursuant to its dividend
reinvestment plan. There were no transactions in common shares
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended
December 31, 2008.
6 Federal
Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments of the Fund at June 30, 2009, as determined on

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 June 30, 2009 is included in the
Portfolio of Investments.
Written call options activity for the six months ended

All of the assets of the Fund are subject to segregation to
satisfy the requirements of the escrow agent. At June 30,
2009, the Fund had sufficient cash
and/or
securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161
(FAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, effective January 1, 2009.
FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an
entitys derivative and hedging activities, including
qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for
using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value
amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and
disclosures about credit-risk related
14

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONTD
contingent features in derivative instruments. The disclosure
below includes additional information as a result of
implementing FAS 161.
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund generally intends
to write index call options above the current value of an index
to generate premium income. In writing index call options, the
Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the value of the
applicable index 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
index decline.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not accounted for as
hedging instruments under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (FAS 133)) and whose primary
underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at June 30,
2009 was as follows:

8 Fair
Value Measurements
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
(FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, established
a three-tier
hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs,
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)
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
At June 30, 2009, the inputs used in valuing the
Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as
follows:

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
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
continuance is approved at least annually by the funds
board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the
trustees who are not interested persons of the fund
(Independent Trustees), cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a
Board) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the
Eaton Vance Funds) held on April 27, 2009, the
Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted
to approve continuation of existing advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional
one-year
period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the
affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of
the Board (formerly the Special Committee), which is a committee
comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making
its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed
information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract
Review Committee held in February, March and April 2009.
Such information included, among other things, the following:

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENTS 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, 2009, the Board met eighteen 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 seven, five, six, six and six 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.
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 Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund (the
Fund) with Eaton Vance Management (the
Adviser), and the
sub-advisory
agreements with Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC
(PPA) and Rampart Investment Management Company,
Inc. (Rampart, and with PPA, the
Sub-advisers)
including their fee structures, is in the interests of
shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee
recommended to the Board approval of the respective agreements.
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
agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the
investment advisory agreement and the
sub-advisory
agreements for the Fund.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent
and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and
the
Sub-advisers.
The Board considered the Advisers and the
Sub-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 and whose
responsibilities include supervising each
Sub-adviser
and coordinating their activities in implementing the
Funds investment strategy. In particular, the Board
evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment
personnel in analyzing factors such as tax efficiency and
special considerations relevant to investing in stocks and
selling call options on the S & P 500 Index. With
respect to PPA, the Board noted PPAs experience in
deploying quantitative-based investment strategies. With respect
to Rampart, the Board considered Ramparts business
reputation and its options strategy and its past experience in
implementing this strategy. The Board also took into
consideration the resources dedicated to portfolio management
and other services, including the compensation paid 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
Sub-advisers
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 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 Eaton Vance Management 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNUAL
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AGREEMENTS CONTD
The Board considered the Advisers recommendations for
Board action and other steps taken in response to the
unprecedented dislocations experienced in the capital markets
over recent periods, including sustained periods of high
volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. In
particular, the Board considered the Advisers efforts and
expertise with respect to each of the following matters as they
relate to the Fund
and/or other
funds within the Eaton Vance family of funds:
(i) negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank
loan facilities and other sources of credit used for investment
purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs; (ii) establishing
the fair value of securities and other instruments held in
investment portfolios during periods of market volatility and
issuer-specific disruptions; and (iii) the ongoing
monitoring of investment management processes and risk controls.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the
Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services
provided by the Adviser and
Sub-advisers,
taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms
of the respective investment advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a
relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an
independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The
Board reviewed comparative performance data for the
one- and
three-year
periods ended September 30, 2008 for the Fund. The Board
concluded that the Funds performance was satisfactory.
Management
Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates,
including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund
(referred to as management fees). As part of its
review, the Board considered the Funds management fees and
total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2008,
as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an
independent data provider.
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 and the Funds total
expense ratio are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser
and relevant affiliates thereof, including PPA, 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, including PPA, in connection
with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of
research services that may be available to the Adviser and its
affiliates as a result of securities transactions effected for
the Fund and other investment advisory clients. The Board also
concluded that, in light of its roles as a
sub-adviser
not affiliated with the Adviser, Ramparts profitability in
managing the Fund was not a material factor.
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, including
PPA, 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.

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 then 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 personal 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 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated
