*Distribution from "Other Sources" may contain sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short-term capital gains, long term capital gains, or return of capital, which cannot be determined until the close of the Fund's fiscal year end. Distributions that are treated for federal income tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder's adjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale of shares. Please see each Fund's most recent dividend source information available from payable date at MFS.com for the breakdown of the distribution.

The above distributions represent each Fund’s final distribution prior to its reorganization into and with the MFS Municipal Income Trust (“MFM”) (each a Reorganization and collectively, the “Reorganizations”). Each Reorganization was approved by shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders. The Reorganizations are expected to be completed after the close of trading on Friday, June 5, 2026, which will be each Fund’s final day of trading, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Shareholders of each Fund as of the close of market on June 5, 2026, will receive newly issued common shares of MFM with an aggregate net asset value equal to the net asset value of their Fund shares. Such shareholders will be deemed shareholders of MFM as of the opening of market trading on Monday, June 8, 2026.

Importantly, Fund shareholders who continue as shareholders of MFM following the Reorganization will be eligible to receive MFM's monthly distribution for June 2026, subject to applicable record date and distribution details, which are expected to be announced in early June.

Investors who want to make changes to their accounts should contact their financial advisor, brokerage firm, or other nominee with whom the shares are registered. If shares are registered with the Funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, the transfer agent may be contacted directly at 800-637-2304, or www.computershare.com.
