Under a managed\ndistribution plan, to the extent that sufficient investment income is not\navailable on a monthly basis, the fund will distribute long-term capital gains\nand/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level.\nYou should not draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance\nfrom the amount of the fund’s distributions or from the terms of the\nfund’s managed distribution plan. The Board of the fund may amend the terms\nof the plan or terminate the plan at any time without prior notice to the\nfund's shareholders. The amendment or termination of a plan could have an\nadverse effect on the market price of the fund’s common shares. The plan\nwill be subject to periodic review by the Board. With each distribution that\ndoes not consist solely of net investment income, the fund will issue a notice\nto shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed\ninformation regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other\nrelated information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the\nnotice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax\nreporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax\nreporting purposes will depend upon the fund’s investment experience during\nits full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.\nThe fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that\nwill tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax\npurposes. The fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income\nand net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may\nresult in a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example,\nwhen some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the fund is paid\nback to them. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a fund’s\ninvestment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or\n‘income’. Any such returns of capital will decrease the fund's total\nassets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund's expense\nratio. In addition, in order to make the level of distributions called for\nunder its plan, the fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than\nopportune time. For estimated source information for distributions paid in\nprior periods, please see MFS.com and click on the following links: Products\n& Strategies, Closed-End Funds, Dividend Source Information.\n\n*Distribution from \"Other Sources\" may contain sources of income other than\nordinary income, such as short term capital gains, long term capital gains, or\nreturn of capital, which can not be determined until the close of the fund's\nfiscal year end. Distributions that are treated for federal income tax\npurposes as a return of capital will reduce a shareholder's tax basis in his\nor her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder's\nadjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale\nof shares. Please see the fund's most recent dividend source information\navailable from payable date at MFS.com for the breakdown of the distribution.\n\nInvestors who want to make changes to their accounts should contact their\nfinancial advisor, brokerage firm, or other nominee with whom the shares are\nregistered.
