Re: Eaton Vance New York Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund")

Dear Mr. Di Lorenzo,

Saba Capital Management, L.P. ("Saba") is the investment adviser to Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (the "Proponent"), the owner of 535,515 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Fund (the "Common Shares"). The Proponent has held Common Shares representing a market value of $25,000 or more continuously for more than one year prior to and including the date hereof.

In accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Saba, on behalf of the Proponent, submits the following proposal for presentation to the Fund's stockholders at the Fund's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, including any postponement or adjournment or special meeting held in lieu thereof (the "Meeting").

The Proponent's proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act (the "Proposal") is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Eaton Vance New York Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") request that the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board so that all trustees are elected on an annual basis starting at the next annual meeting of shareholders.  Such declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of the previously elected trustees.

Saba hereby represents that the Proponent has continuously and beneficially owned Common Shares with a market value of not less than $25,000 for at least one year prior to the date of the submission of Proposal, and intends to continue to hold the requisite number of Common Shares through the date of the Meeting.  A letter from the Proponent's broker confirming the above ownership is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
