SEC Form SC 13D/A filed by Eaton Vance Municipal Bond Fund (Amendment)

(a)    This statement is filed by:

(i) Karpus Management, Inc., d/b/a Karpus Investment Management (“Karpus”). Karpus is a registered investment adviser under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Karpus is controlled by City of London Investment Group plc (“CLIG”), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. However, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), effective informational barriers have been established between Karpus and CLIG such that voting and investment power over the subject securities is exercised by Karpus independently of CLIG, and, accordingly, attribution of beneficial ownership is not required between Karpus and CLIG. The shares to which this Amendment No. 11 relates are owned directly by the accounts managed by Karpus;

Set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (“Schedule A”) is the name and present principal business, occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted of the executive officers and directors of Karpus. To the best of Karpus’ knowledge, except as otherwise set on Schedule A, none of the persons listed on Schedule A beneficially owns any securities of the Issuer or is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding required to be disclosed herein.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Karpus, an independent registered investment advisor, has accumulated 3,091,043 Shares on behalf of accounts that are managed by Karpus (the “Accounts”) under limited powers of attorney, which represents 4.30% of the outstanding Shares. All funds that have been utilized in making such purchases for the Accounts (which are open market purchases unless otherwise noted) are from such Accounts.

The aggregate purchase price of the 3,091,043 Shares beneficially owned by Karpus is approximately $37,688,902, excluding brokerage commissions. Such Shares were purchased with working capital (which may at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases except as otherwise noted.

Items 5A. (a) – (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 71,953,184 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding communicated by the Issuer on Form SC TO-I/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2020.

  Percentage:   Approximately 4.30%

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that Karpus is, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that it does not directly own.
