Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 27, 2019, the compliance staff (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) provided written notice to Eaton Vance NextShares Trust (the “Trust”) that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5745(d)(2)(C)(i) with respect to two of its series. Listing Rule 5745(d)(2)(C)(i) requires that, in order to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, certain companies such as a series of NextShares must maintain no fewer than 50 beneficial holders following the initial twelve-month period beginning upon the commencement of trading on Nasdaq of the series of NextShares. Eaton Vance Global Income Builder NextShares and Eaton Vance Stock NextShares (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, were reported to have fewer than 50 beneficial shareholders as of August 27, 2019.

On August 29, 2019, the Trust provided updated shareholder information for the Funds to Nasdaq. On August 29, 2019, the Staff provided written notice to the Trust that it had reviewed the updated shareholder information and determined that the Funds were in compliance with Listing Rule 5745(d)(2)(C)(i) and that the matter was now closed.
