Effective immediately, the last paragraph under the sub-heading entitled "Description of Certain Policies for Sales Charge Waivers or Reductions" in the sub-section entitled "Financial Intermediary Category VII Eligible Accounts: Accounts Investing in Shares of the Fund through an Edward Jones Platform or Account Maintained at an Omnibus Level by Edward Jones with the Fund" under the main heading entitled "Appendix A - Waivers and Reductions of Sales Charges" is restated in its entirety as follows:
Right Of Accumulation (ROA). Under the ROA, a shareholder may pay a reduced or no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares by aggregating the amount of the shareholder's investment with the shareholder's existing investments in the MFS funds and MFS 529 funds, based on the higher of the cost paid by the shareholder minus sales or the current market value of the applicable MFS funds and MFS 529 funds. For purposes of calculating the ROA, the shareholder's account may be grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations ("pricing groups") (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures). For purposes of calculating the ROA, holdings of shares of certain money market funds or shares held in group retirement plans are not taken into account. If grouping assets as a shareholder, the ROA includes all investments of a shareholder in the MFS funds and MFS 529 funds held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on other platforms. The inclusion of investments in the MFS funds and MFS 529 funds held in accounts not maintained by Edward Jones is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such investments at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge. The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
