International Equity Funds:
MFS® Blended Research® Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Investment Objective
The fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The fund's objective may be changed without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Strategies
MFS seeks to achieve the fund's objective by actively identifying potential investments in issuers economically tied to emerging market countries based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and then constructing a portfolio from these potential investments while managing various risk factors (e.g., issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, and volatility) compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
MFS normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities of issuers that are tied economically to emerging market countries. Emerging markets are countries determined to have emerging market economies based on factors that demonstrate the country's financial and capital markets are in the development phase, including whether a particular country has a low- to middle-income economy according to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the country's designation by the International Monetary Fund as an emerging market, or the country's inclusion in an emerging market index. Emerging market countries include countries located in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and developing countries of Europe, primarily Eastern Europe. Examples of emerging market countries include, but are not limited to, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Panama, the People's Republic of China, Peru, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Equity securities include common stocks, depositary receipts, and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.
MFS generally considers the issuer of a security or other investment to be tied economically to emerging market countries if: (i) the security or other investment is issued or guaranteed by the government of an emerging market country or any of its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities; (ii) the issuer is organized under the laws of, and maintains a principal office in, an emerging market country; (iii) the issuer has its principal securities trading market in an emerging market country; (iv) a third party has identified an emerging market country as the issuer's "country of risk"; (v) the issuer is included in an index which is representative of emerging market countries; (vi) the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues from goods sold or services performed in emerging market countries; or (vii) the issuer has 50% or more of its assets in emerging market countries.
MFS may invest the fund's assets in securities of companies of any size.
L45-SUP-I-051226
2
MFS normally invests the fund's assets across different industries, sectors, countries, and regions, but MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single industry, sector, country, or region.
MFS uses an active bottom-up approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on blending fundamental and quantitative research. MFS uses fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions to determine a fundamental rating for an issuer. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer's earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. MFS may also consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in its fundamental investment analysis where MFS believes such factors could materially impact the economic value of an issuer. ESG factors considered may include, but are not limited to, climate change, resource depletion, an issuer's governance structure and practices, data protection and privacy issues, and diversity and labor practices. MFS uses quantitative analysis, including quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, to determine a quantitative rating for an issuer. MFS combines the fundamental rating with the quantitative rating to create a blended rating for an issuer. (When the fundamental rating is not available, MFS treats the issuer as having a neutral fundamental rating. MFS' quantitative research generates ratings on a greater number of issuers than MFS' fundamental research.)
MFS constructs the portfolio using a portfolio optimization process that considers the blended rating, as well as issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, volatility, and other factors. The portfolio managers have the discretion to adjust the inputs and parameters used in the optimization process and the fund's portfolio holdings based on factors such as the desired portfolio characteristics and the portfolio managers' qualitative assessment of the optimization results. MFS' goal is to construct an actively managed portfolio with a target predicted tracking error of approximately 2% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Tracking error generally measures how the differences between the fund's returns and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index's returns have varied over a period of time. A lower tracking error means that there is generally less variation between the fund's returns compared to the applicable index. Third-party quantitative risk models are used in the portfolio construction process and to measure the predicted tracking error of the fund's portfolio.
For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.

Principal Investment Strategies
MFS seeks to achieve the fund's objective by actively identifying potential investments based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and then constructing a portfolio from these potential investments while managing various risk factors (e.g., issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, and volatility) compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index.

MFS normally invests the fund's assets primarily in foreign securities, including emerging market securities.
In selecting investments for the fund, MFS is not constrained by any particular investment style. MFS may invest the fund's assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies), in the stocks of companies it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies), or in a combination of growth and value companies.
While MFS may invest the fund's assets in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with large capitalizations.

Principal Investment Strategies
MFS seeks to achieve the fund's objective by actively identifying potential investments based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and then constructing a portfolio from these potential investments while managing various risk factors (e.g., issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, and volatility) compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
MFS normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities. Equity securities include common stocks, depositary receipts, and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.

MFS may invest the fund's assets in foreign securities.
MFS normally invests the fund's assets across different industries and sectors, but MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single industry or sector.
MFS uses an active bottom-up approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on blending fundamental and quantitative research. MFS uses fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions to determine a fundamental rating for an issuer. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer's earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. MFS may also consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in its fundamental investment analysis where MFS believes such factors could materially impact the economic value of an issuer. ESG factors considered may include, but are not limited to, climate change, resource depletion, an issuer's governance structure and practices, data protection and privacy issues, and diversity and labor practices. MFS uses quantitative analysis, including quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, to determine a quantitative rating for an issuer. MFS combines the fundamental rating with the quantitative rating to create a blended rating for an issuer. (When the fundamental rating is not available, MFS treats the issuer as having a neutral fundamental rating. MFS' quantitative research generates ratings on a greater number of issuers than MFS' fundamental research.)
MFS constructs the portfolio using a portfolio optimization process that considers the blended rating, as well as issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, volatility, and other factors. The portfolio managers have the discretion to adjust the inputs and parameters used in the optimization process and the fund's portfolio holdings based on factors such as the desired portfolio characteristics and the portfolio managers' qualitative assessment of the optimization results. MFS' goal is to construct an actively managed portfolio with a target predicted tracking error of approximately 2% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. Tracking error generally measures how the differences between the fund's returns and the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index's returns have varied over a period of time. A lower tracking error means that there is generally less variation between the fund's returns compared to the applicable index. Third-party quantitative risk models are used in the portfolio construction process and to measure the predicted tracking error of the fund's portfolio.
For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.

MFS considers a number of factors when determining a company's growth potential, including whether (i) the issuer is included in an index that is representative of growth companies; (ii) the issuer is classified as a growth company by an independent third party financial data provider; and/or (iii) the issuer exhibits the characteristics of a growth company, considering metrics such as historical and/or projected growth rates relative to the applicable equity market. Growth companies tend to have stock prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures. Equity securities include common stocks, depositary receipts, and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.

MFS focuses on investing the fund's assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies). Growth companies tend to have stock prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures.
While MFS may invest the fund's assets in securities of companies of any size, MFS primarily invests in securities of companies with large capitalizations.
MFS may invest the fund's assets in foreign securities.
MFS normally invests the fund's assets across different industries and sectors, but MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in issuers in a single industry or sector.
The fund is a non-diversified fund. This means that MFS may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer or a small number of issuers.
MFS uses an active bottom-up approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on blending fundamental and quantitative research. MFS uses fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions to determine a fundamental rating for an issuer. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuer's earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. MFS may also consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in its fundamental investment analysis where MFS believes such factors could materially impact the economic value of an issuer. ESG factors considered may include, but are not limited to, climate change, resource depletion, an issuer's governance structure and practices, data protection and privacy issues, and diversity and labor practices. MFS uses quantitative analysis, including quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, to determine a quantitative rating for an issuer. MFS combines the fundamental rating with the quantitative rating to create a blended rating for an issuer. (When the fundamental rating is not available, MFS treats the issuer as having a neutral fundamental rating. MFS' quantitative research generates ratings on a greater number of issuers than MFS' fundamental research.)
MFS constructs the portfolio using a portfolio optimization process that considers the blended rating, as well as issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, volatility, and other factors. The portfolio managers have the discretion to adjust the inputs and parameters used in the optimization process and the fund's portfolio holdings based on factors such as the desired portfolio characteristics and the portfolio managers' qualitative assessment of the optimization results. MFS' goal is to construct an actively managed portfolio with a target predicted tracking error of approximately 2% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Tracking error generally measures how the differences between the fund's returns and the Russell 1000® Growth Index's returns have varied over a period of time. A lower tracking error means that there is generally less variation between the fund's returns compared to an index that represents the fund's investment universe. Third-party quantitative risk models are used in the portfolio construction process and to measure the predicted tracking error of the fund's portfolio.
For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.
MFS® Blended Research® Mid Cap Equity Fund
Investment Objective
The fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The fund's objective may be changed without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Strategies
MFS seeks to achieve the fund's objective by actively identifying potential investments based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and then constructing a portfolio from these potential investments while managing various risk factors (e.g., issuer, industry, and sector weightings, market capitalization, and volatility) compared to the Russell Midcap® Index, which represents the fund's investment universe.
MFS normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities of issuers with medium market capitalizations. MFS generally defines medium market capitalization issuers as issuers with market capitalizations similar to those of issuers included in the Russell Midcap® Index over the last 13 months at the time of purchase. As of August 31, 2025, the range of the market capitalizations of the issuers in the Russell Midcap® Index was between approximately $1.1 billion and $98.7 billion. Issuers whose market capitalizations fall outside this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a medium market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. Equity securities include common stocks, depositary receipts, equity interests in REITs, and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.
Effective June 10, 2026, the paragraph directly above is restated in its entirety with the following paragraph:
MFS normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in equity securities of issuers with medium market capitalizations.

The market capitalization range of companies considered to have medium capitalizations based on the above criteria will change over time depending on market conditions. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2025, the
