(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
|---|
| Class A | $144 | 1.24% |
How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the MSCI ACWI Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning shares of NVIDIA Corp., which appreciated 179.24% during the period riding the crest of the artificial intelligence wave, hurt relative returns
↓ An overweight exposure to Orbia Advance Corp., a water infrastructure company, hampered returns as its earnings and revenues fell during the period
↓ Not owning shares of technology giant Meta Platforms ― owner of Facebook and other popular brands ― which appreciated 91.08% during the period, hurt returns
↓ An allocation to Energy Recovery, Inc., a water technology firm, detracted from Index-relative returns on the basis of lower revenues and negative earnings
↑ An overweight position in Hawkins, Inc., a provider of water treatment chemicals and equipment, contributed to returns as it reported strong earnings
↑ An overweight position in Organo Corp., a Japanese manufacturer of water purifiers and electrical equipment, helped returns as it reported strong profits
↑ An overweight position in Mueller Industries, Inc., a provider of piping and plumbing systems, contributed to returns on the basis of its sales growth
↑ Reliance Worldwide Corp., Ltd., a water technology business, helped returns as improved margins in the U.S. and solid cash flows led to better-than-expected earnings

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the MSCI ACWI Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning shares of NVIDIA Corp., which appreciated 179.24% during the period riding the crest of the artificial intelligence wave, hurt relative returns
↓ An overweight exposure to Orbia Advance Corp., a water infrastructure company, hampered returns as its earnings and revenues fell during the period
↓ Not owning shares of technology giant Meta Platforms ― owner of Facebook and other popular brands ― which appreciated 91.08% during the period, hurt returns
↓ An allocation to Energy Recovery, Inc., a water technology firm, detracted from Index-relative returns on the basis of lower revenues and negative earnings
↑ An overweight position in Hawkins, Inc., a provider of water treatment chemicals and equipment, contributed to returns as it reported strong earnings
↑ An overweight position in Organo Corp., a Japanese manufacturer of water purifiers and electrical equipment, helped returns as it reported strong profits
↑ An overweight position in Mueller Industries, Inc., a provider of piping and plumbing systems, contributed to returns on the basis of its sales growth
↑ Reliance Worldwide Corp., Ltd., a water technology business, helped returns as improved margins in the U.S. and solid cash flows led to better-than-expected earnings

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the Russell 2000® Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning Super Micro Computer, Inc., a server and data center equipment provider, hampered returns as sales rose sharply on growth in artificial intelligence
↓ A position in U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc., a clinic operator, hampered relative returns as bad weather stifled business during the first half of the period
↓ Envista Holdings Corp., a dental equipment provider, detracted from Index-relative returns on weak demand. The Fund sold the stock by period-end
↓ Selective Insurance Group, Inc., a provider of property and casualty insurance, hampered relative returns after it reported significant second-quarter losses
↑ Core & Main, Inc., a wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection equipment distributor, contributed to returns on better-than-expected sales and earnings
↑ CSW Industrials, Inc., a building products provider, helped returns as its product mix, efficiencies and business execution yielded record revenues and earnings
↑ Essential Properties Realty Trust, owner and manager of single-tenant, long-term lease properties, aided returns on strong demand with 99% occupancy rates
↑ AAON, Inc., a heating, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment manufacturer, contributed to Index-relative returns on strong revenue and earnings growth

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the Russell 2000® Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning Super Micro Computer, Inc., a server and data center equipment provider, hampered returns as sales rose sharply on growth in artificial intelligence
↓ A position in U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc., a clinic operator, hampered relative returns as bad weather stifled business during the first half of the period
↓ Envista Holdings Corp., a dental equipment provider, detracted from Index-relative returns on weak demand. The Fund sold the stock by period-end
↓ Selective Insurance Group, Inc., a provider of property and casualty insurance, hampered relative returns after it reported significant second-quarter losses
↑ Core & Main, Inc., a wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection equipment distributor, contributed to returns on better-than-expected sales and earnings
↑ CSW Industrials, Inc., a building products provider, helped returns as its product mix, efficiencies and business execution yielded record revenues and earnings
↑ Essential Properties Realty Trust, owner and manager of single-tenant, long-term lease properties, aided returns on strong demand with 99% occupancy rates
↑ AAON, Inc., a heating, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment manufacturer, contributed to Index-relative returns on strong revenue and earnings growth

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the Russell 2000® Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning Super Micro Computer, Inc., a server and data center equipment provider, hampered returns as sales rose sharply on growth in artificial intelligence
↓ A position in U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc., a clinic operator, hampered relative returns as bad weather stifled business during the first half of the period
↓ Envista Holdings Corp., a dental equipment provider, detracted from Index-relative returns on weak demand. The Fund sold the stock by period-end
↓ Selective Insurance Group, Inc., a provider of property and casualty insurance, hampered relative returns after it reported significant second-quarter losses
↑ Core & Main, Inc., a wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection equipment distributor, contributed to returns on better-than-expected sales and earnings
↑ CSW Industrials, Inc., a building products provider, helped returns as its product mix, efficiencies and business execution yielded record revenues and earnings
↑ Essential Properties Realty Trust, owner and manager of single-tenant, long-term lease properties, aided returns on strong demand with 99% occupancy rates
↑ AAON, Inc., a heating, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment manufacturer, contributed to Index-relative returns on strong revenue and earnings growth

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the Russell 2000® Index (the Index):
↓ Not owning Super Micro Computer, Inc., a server and data center equipment provider, hampered returns as sales rose sharply on growth in artificial intelligence
↓ A position in U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc., a clinic operator, hampered relative returns as bad weather stifled business during the first half of the period
↓ Envista Holdings Corp., a dental equipment provider, detracted from Index-relative returns on weak demand. The Fund sold the stock by period-end
↓ Selective Insurance Group, Inc., a provider of property and casualty insurance, hampered relative returns after it reported significant second-quarter losses
↑ Core & Main, Inc., a wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection equipment distributor, contributed to returns on better-than-expected sales and earnings
↑ CSW Industrials, Inc., a building products provider, helped returns as its product mix, efficiencies and business execution yielded record revenues and earnings
↑ Essential Properties Realty Trust, owner and manager of single-tenant, long-term lease properties, aided returns on strong demand with 99% occupancy rates
↑ AAON, Inc., a heating, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment manufacturer, contributed to Index-relative returns on strong revenue and earnings growth

| (3) | All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than audit, audit-related, and tax services. |
(e) The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the registrant by the auditors, and to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether the services are consistent with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve certain matters to one or more of its members. In this regard, the Committee has delegated authority jointly to the Audit Committee Chair together with another Committee member with respect to non-audit services not exceeding $25,000 in each instance. In addition, the Committee has pre-approved the retention of the auditors to provide tax-related services related to the tax treatment and tax accounting of newly acquired securities, upon request by the investment adviser in each instance.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in small-cap common stocks of U.S. companies.
The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the
Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is 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 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 security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, 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 company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:
| Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Common Stocks | $2,795,183,704(1) | $ — | $ — | $2,795,183,704 |
| Short-Term Investments | 44,575,234 | — | — | 44,575,234 |
| Total Investments | $2,839,758,938 | $ — | $ — | $2,839,758,938 |
| (1) | The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Schedule of Investments. |
B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned.
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
E Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
G Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.68% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the investment advisory fee amounted to $19,855,837.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $27,032 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.21%, 1.96%, 0.96% and 0.90% for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the year ended September 30, 2024, no expenses were waived and/or reimbursed by CRM.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2024, CRM was paid administrative fees of $3,503,971.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $709,533 and $296,404 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $25,206 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2024. The Fund was also informed that EVD received $271 and $2,487 of contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively, for the same period. The Fund was informed that Morgan Stanley affiliated broker-dealers, which may be deemed to be affiliates of CRM and EVD, also received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2024 in the amount of $5,505.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $105,219 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $917,838,896 and $1,542,306,621, respectively.
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | Year Ended September 30, |
| | 2024 | 2023 |
| Ordinary income | $9,242,809 | $4,731,257 |
| Long-term capital gains | $ — | $33,685,172 |
During the year ended September 30, 2024, distributable earnings was decreased by $6,676,974 and paid-in capital was increased by $6,676,974
primarily due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

As of September 30, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Undistributed ordinary income | $5,182,151 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | 33,668,864 |
| Net unrealized appreciation | 672,912,942 |
| Distributable earnings | $711,763,957 |
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at September 30, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| Aggregate cost | $2,166,845,996 |
| Gross unrealized appreciation | $725,465,355 |
| Gross unrealized depreciation | (52,552,413) |
| Net unrealized appreciation | $672,912,942 |
5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2024, the total value of securities on loan was $24,759,769 and the total value of collateral received was $25,212,865, comprised of U.S. government and/or agencies securities.
6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2024. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2024. Effective October 22, 2024, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 21, 2025, at substantially the same terms.

7 Affiliated Investments
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.
In addition to the Notes, the Fund may also invest in companies that are considered affiliated companies because the Fund has a direct or indirect
ownership of, control of, or voting power of 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares of the company, or the company is under common ownership or control with the Fund. At September 30, 2024, the value of the Fund’s investment in the Notes and affiliated companies and in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $44,575,234, which represents 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Small-Cap Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 10-11, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs; |
| • | Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions; |
| • | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
Information about the Adviser
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Board of Directors' Contract Approval — continued
Other Relevant Information
| • | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and |
| • | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and its benchmark index. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of the Fund’s peer universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. This data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2023,

while it had outperformed its benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and its benchmark index.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (referred to collectively as “management fees”) were above the median of the Fund’s expense group and the Fund’s total expenses were at the median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels was not necessary at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (Global Energy Solutions) and Calvert Global Water Fund (Global Water) (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) are diversified series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of Global Energy Solutions is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Energy Research Index. Global Energy Solutions invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is sustainable energy solutions, or that are significantly involved in the sustainable energy solutions industry. The investment objective of Global Water is to seek to track the performance of the Calvert Global Water Research Index. Global Water invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is in the water industry, or that are significantly involved in water-related services or technologies.
Each Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in each Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
Each Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Funds use independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value their investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the Board's valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. 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 Funds' Board has 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. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Funds 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 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 security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, 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 company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following tables summarize the market value of each of the Funds' holdings as of September 30, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:

B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, each Fund has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries (the “EU reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, the EU reclaims are recorded as income only when the likelihood of their receipt becomes certain. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. 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.
E Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds' capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, each Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the respective Fund's change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in the respective Fund's net realized gain (loss) on investments.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

CRM has agreed to reimburse the Funds' operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.24%, 1.99% and 0.99% of each Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. The expense reimbursement agreements with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the year ended September 30, 2024, CRM waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $384,247 and $274,168 for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water, respectively.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Funds.

(EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Funds' principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Each Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, each Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Funds. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, each Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $209,519 and $598,205, respectively, for Class A shares and $74,239 and $189,608, respectively, for Class C shares.
The Funds were informed that EVD received $9,516 and $20,214 for Global Energy Solutions and Global Water, respectively, as their portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Funds or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Funds purchase shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Funds' assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Funds who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.

3 Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were as follows:
| | Global Energy Solutions | Global Water |
| Purchases | $63,911,430 | $161,360,377 |
| Sales | 86,223,386 | 217,304,300 |
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | Global Energy Solutions | Global Water |
| | Year Ended September 30, | Year Ended September 30, |
| | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Ordinary income | $1,535,300 | $1,243,589 | $7,458,556 | $4,713,205 |
| Long-term capital gains | $ — | $ — | $7,794,064 | $3,273,485 |
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the following amounts were reclassified due to the Funds' use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Funds to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
| | Global Energy Solutions | Global Water |
| Change in: | | |
| Paid-in capital | $126,905 | $3,627,567 |
| Distributable earnings (Accumulated loss) | $(126,905) | $(3,627,567) |
As of September 30, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Global Energy Solutions | Global Water |
| Undistributed ordinary income | $1,220,553 | $12,770,875 |
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | — | 32,289,608 |
| Deferred capital losses | (4,712,929) | — |
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (20,701,076) | 176,656,803 |
| Distributable earnings (accumulated loss) | $(24,193,452) | $221,717,286 |
At September 30, 2024, Global Energy Solutions, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $4,712,929 which would reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2024, $4,712,929 are long-term.

| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $(20,628,135) | $176,614,431 |
5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Funds at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Funds require that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Funds. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Funds and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of a Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Funds in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2024, the total value of securities on loan and the total value of collateral received were as follows:
| | Global Energy Solutions | Global Water |
| Securities on Loan | $22,038,161 | $30,400,003 |
| Collateral Received: | | |
| Cash | 11,087,294 | 7,266,904 |
| U.S. government and/or agencies securities | 12,237,566 | 25,163,055 |
| Total Collateral Received | $23,324,860 | $32,429,959 |

The carrying amounts of the liabilities for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2024 approximated their fair value. If measured at fair value, such liabilities would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2024.
6 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
Global Energy Solutions had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at September 30, 2024. Global Water had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $800,000 at September 30, 2024, at an annual interest rate of 8.00%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2024. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2024. The Funds' average borrowings and allocated fees for the year ended September 30, 2024 were not significant.
Effective October 22, 2024, the Funds renewed their line of credit agreement, which expires October 21, 2025, at substantially the same terms.
7 Affiliated Investments
During the year ended September 30, 2024, each Fund had invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Funds and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM’s affiliate serves on the CIC Board.
At September 30, 2024, the value of each Fund’s investment in the Notes and in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $100,183 for Global Energy Solutions, which represents less than 0.05% of its net assets, and none for Global Water. Transactions in such investments by the Funds for the year ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country, and by acts of terrorism and war. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Funds may have difficulties enforcing their legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Emerging market securities often involve greater risks than developed market securities. Investment markets within emerging market countries are typically smaller, less liquid, less developed and more volatile than those in more developed markets like the United States, and may be focused in certain economic sectors. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. Governmental actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in emerging market countries. It may be more difficult to make a claim or

obtain a judgment in the courts of these countries than it is in the United States. The possibility of fraud, negligence, undue influence being exerted by an issuer or refusal to recognize ownership exists in some emerging markets. Disruptions due to work stoppages and trading improprieties in foreign securities markets have caused such markets to close. Emerging market securities are also subject to speculative trading, which contributes to their volatility.
Concentration Risk
Global Energy Solutions concentrates its investments in the sustainable energy solutions industry. This industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. The industry can also be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects and tax and other government regulations and policies. Companies in this industry could be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations.
Global Water concentrates its investments in the water industry. This industry can be significantly affected by economic trends or other conditions or developments, such as the availability of water, the level of rainfall and occurrence of other climatic events, changes in water consumption, new technologies relating to the supply of water, and water conservation. The industry can also be significantly affected by environmental considerations, taxation, government regulation (including the increased cost of compliance), inflation, increases in interest rates, price and supply fluctuations, increases in the cost of raw materials and other operating costs, technological advances, and competition from new market entrants.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund and Calvert Global Water Fund (the “Funds”) (two of the funds constituting Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.), including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2024, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 10-11, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs; |
| • | Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions; |
| • | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
Information about the Adviser
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |

Other Relevant Information
| • | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and |
| • | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert Global Energy Solutions Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and its custom benchmark. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. This performance data indicated that the Fund had underperformed the median of its peer universe and its custom benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023, while it had outperformed its peer universe and its custom benchmark for the five-year period ended December 31, 2023. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and its custom benchmark.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the respective

median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels was not necessary at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 10-11, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):

| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs; |
| • | Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions; |
| • | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
Information about the Adviser
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters.

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board also took into account the breakpoint in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above a specific asset level. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Green Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, primarily through investment in bonds. The Fund invests primarily in “green” investments which include those issued by companies that develop or provide products or services that seek to provide environmental solutions and/or that support environmental projects, among others.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation— Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the Board) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith by the
Board’s valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior-floating rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average ask prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund's forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is 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 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 security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, 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 company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of September 30, 2024, based on the inputs used to value them:

B Investment Transactions and Income— Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C Share Class Accounting— Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged

directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D Foreign Currency Transactions— The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. 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.
E Senior Floating-Rate Loans— The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
F Futures Contracts— The Fund may enter into futures contracts to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade, which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange, and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund.
G Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts— The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
H Options Contracts— Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Fund’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. An option on a futures contract gives the holder the right to enter into a specified futures contract. As the purchaser of an index option, the Fund has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the exercise price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Purchased options traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.
I Restricted Securities— The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities (excluding Rule 144A securities) is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
J Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
K Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

L Indemnifications— The Corporation’s By-Laws provide for indemnification for Directors or officers of the Corporation and certain other parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
M Federal Income Taxes— No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

For the year ended September 30, 2024, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $45,207 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.73%, 0.48% and 0.43% for Class A, Class I and Class R6, respectively, of such class’s average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2025. For the year ended September 30, 2024, CRM waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $378,844.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly.

Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $167,869 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $8,695 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares and no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Fund shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2024, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $14,309 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Director of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $225,000 ($214,000 prior to January 1, 2024), an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $40,000 annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $15,000 annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Directors may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Directors’ fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Directors of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than U.S. government and agency securities and short-term securities and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating-rate loans, were $126,529,950 and

$154,878,837, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government and agency securities, including paydowns, were $71,745,105 and $27,418,719, respectively.
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:
| | Year Ended September 30, |
| | 2024 | 2023 |
| Ordinary income | $27,566,761 | $20,088,394 |
During the year ended September 30, 2024, accumulated loss was increased by $291,789 and paid-in capital was increased by $291,789 due to the Fund's use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds
representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2024, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Undistributed ordinary income | $308,106 |
| Deferred capital losses | (64,388,903) |
| Net unrealized depreciation | (33,165,063) |
| Distributions payable | (85,271) |
| Accumulated loss | $(97,331,131) |
At September 30, 2024, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $64,388,903 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2024, $2,419,871 are short-term and $61,969,032 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at September 30, 2024, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| Aggregate cost | $831,403,268 |
| Gross unrealized appreciation | $10,652,287 |
| Gross unrealized depreciation | (43,805,078) |
| Net unrealized depreciation | $(33,152,791) |
5 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts 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 obligations under these financial instruments at September 30, 2024 is included in the Schedule of Investments. At September 30, 2024, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Calvert
Green Bond Fund
September 30, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
Foreign Exchange Risk: During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against the decline in the value of currencies in which its portfolio holdings are denominated against the U.S. dollar and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
Interest Rate Risk: During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund used futures contracts and options on futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk and to manage duration.
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At September 30, 2024, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $788,037. The aggregate fair value of assets pledged as collateral by the Fund for such liability was $110,000 at September 30, 2024.
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its derivative counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and the counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the ISDA Master Agreement. Under the ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow the counterparty to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under the ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under the ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments.
At September 30, 2024, the fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure was as follows:
| Risk | Derivative | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption | Assets | Liabilities |
| Foreign exchange | Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | Receivable/Payable for open forward foreign currency
exchange contracts | $38,025 | $(788,037) |
| Interest rate | Futures contracts | Accumulated loss | 430,359(1) | (194,795)(1) |
| Total | | | $468,384 | $(982,832) |
| Derivatives not subject to master netting agreement | $430,359 | $(194,795) |
| Total Derivatives subject to master netting agreement | $38,025 | $(788,037) |
| (1) | Only the current day's variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable. |
The Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by risk, which are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are presented in the table above. The following tables present the Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for such assets and pledged by the Fund for such liabilities as of September 30, 2024.

The average notional cost of futures contracts and average notional amounts of other derivative contracts outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2024, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately as follows:
| Futures Contracts — Long | Futures Contracts — Short | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts* |
| $279,054,000 | $36,172,000 | $67,815,000 |
| * | The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the absolute value of notional amounts of currency purchased and currency sold. |
The average number of purchased options contracts outstanding during the year ended September 30, 2024, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was 45 contracts.

6 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At September 30, 2024, the total value of securities on loan, including accrued interest, was $6,965,227 and the total value of collateral received was $7,139,264, comprised of cash of $916,725 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $6,222,539.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2024.
| | Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions |
| | Overnight and
Continuous | <30 days | 30 to 90 days | >90 days | Total |
| Corporate Bonds | $435,265 | $ — | $ — | $ — | $435,265 |
| Sovereign Government Bonds | 481,460 | — | — | — | 481,460 |
| Total | $916,725 | $ — | $ — | $ — | $916,725 |
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at September 30, 2024 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at September 30, 2024.
7 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 22, 2024. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on
October 24, 2023, the borrowing limit was decreased from $725 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2023, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at September 30, 2024. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2024. Effective October 22, 2024, the Fund renewed its line of credit agreement, which expires October 21, 2025, at substantially the same terms.
8 Affiliated Investments
During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had invested a portion of its assets in notes (the Notes) issued by Calvert Impact Capital, Inc. (CIC) pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). There are certain potential points of affiliation between the Fund and CIC. CRM has licensed use of the Calvert name to CIC and provides other types of support. An officer of CRM's affiliate serves on the CIC Board.

10 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country, and by acts of terrorism and war. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
Economic data as reported by sovereign entities may be delayed, inaccurate or fraudulent. In the event of a default by a sovereign entity, there are typically no assets to be seized or cash flows to be attached. Furthermore, the willingness or ability of a sovereign entity to restructure defaulted debt may be limited. Therefore, losses on sovereign defaults may far exceed the losses from the default of a similarly rated U.S. debt issuer.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Calvert Impact Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Calvert Green Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Calvert Green Bond Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Calvert Impact Fund, Inc.), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board of Directors' Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of directors, including by a vote of a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At an in-person meeting of the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Calvert Research and Management (“CRM” or the “Adviser”) (the “Calvert Funds”) held on June 10-11, 2024, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve continuation of existing investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds for an additional one-year period.
In evaluating the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Calvert Funds and various service providers, including the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding various services provided to the Calvert Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Calvert Funds, and a separate report prepared by an independent data provider, which compared each fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses to those of comparable funds as identified by such independent data provider (“comparable funds”).
The Independent Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements for the Calvert Funds. Prior to voting, the Independent Directors reviewed the proposed continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which time no representatives of management were present.
The information that the Board considered included, among other things, the following (for funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying fund(s), references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the underlying fund-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by the Adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for the Adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including investment strategies and processes it employs; |
| • | Information about the Adviser’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including the Adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions; |
| • | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits received by the Adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
Information about the Adviser
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of CRM; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | A description of CRM’s procedures for overseeing sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Other Relevant Information
| • | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided by CRM and its affiliates; and |
| • | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
Over the course of the year, the Board and its committees held regular quarterly meetings. During these meetings, the Directors participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser relating to each fund and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective(s), such as the use of derivative instruments, as well as risk management techniques. The Board and its committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, corporate governance and other issues with respect to the funds and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by CRM and its affiliates with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Directors held regular video conferences in between meetings to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of the Calvert Funds’ investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreements.
For funds that invest through one or more affiliated underlying funds, the Board considered similar information about the underlying fund(s) when considering the approval of investment advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any investment sub-advisory agreement.
The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the contract review process by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory and investment sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.
Results of the Contract Review Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of Calvert Green Bond Fund (the “Fund”), including the fee payable under the agreement, is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, voted to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Adviser’s investment personnel and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Adviser as well as the Board’s familiarity with management through Board meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Adviser’s management style and its performance in employing its investment strategies as well as its current level of staffing and overall resources. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Board took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Adviser over the past year concerning the Adviser’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Calvert Funds and the Adviser. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of the Fund’s peer universe and its benchmark index. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. This performance data indicated that the Fund had outperformed the median of its peer universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023, while it had underperformed the median of its peer universe for the five-year period ended December 31, 2023. The performance data also indicated that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2023, while the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of its peer universe and its benchmark index.
Management Fees and Expenses
In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with those of comparable funds in its expense group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) (referred to collectively as “management fees”) and the Fund’s total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were each below the respective median of the Fund’s expense group. The Board took into account the Adviser’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Adviser was waiving and/or reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the management fees were reasonable in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.

Profitability and Other “Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s profitability in regard to the Fund and the Calvert Funds in the aggregate. In reviewing the overall profitability of the Fund to the Adviser, the Board also considered the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates provided sub-transfer agency support, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates without regard to any marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered that the Adviser and its affiliates derived benefits to their reputation and other indirect benefits from their relationships with the Fund. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationships with the Fund was reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels was not necessary at this time. The Board noted that if the Fund’s assets increased over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses.
