Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example does not take into account brokerage commissions or other fees that you may pay to your financial intermediary when purchasing or selling shares of the fund.
The example assumes that: you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and you redeem your shares at the end of the time periods; your investment has a 5% return each year; and the fund's operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs will likely be higher or lower, under these assumptions your costs would be:

1 YEAR |
3 YEARS |
5 YEARS |
10 YEARS |

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" or in the "Example," affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 10% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund's investment adviser) normally invests at least 80% of the fund's net assets in value companies. Value companies are companies that MFS believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth in the marketplace. MFS considers a number of factors when determining whether a company is undervalued, including whether (i) the issuer is included in an index which is representative of value companies; (ii) the issuer is classified as a value company by an independent third party financial data provider and/or (iii) the issuer exhibits the characteristics of a value company, considering metrics such as historical and/or projected price-to-book, price-to-earnings, and price-to-cash flow ratios, enterprise value (the total value of the issuer's outstanding equity and debt) relative to earnings, and free cash flow yield compared to the applicable equity market and/or to issuers in the same sector or industry. In assessing the relative value of an issuer, MFS may also consider measures of financial quality, such as indicators of profitability (i.e., return on equity and return on invested capital), balance sheet strength (including leverage and interest coverage ratios), and capital allocation discipline. Value companies tend to have stock prices that are low relative to their earnings, dividends, assets, or other financial measures.
MFS normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks. Common stocks are equity securities that represent an ownership interest (or right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer.
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.
MFS uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the fund. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate issuers may also be considered.
For purposes of the fund's 80% policy, net assets include the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.
Principal Risks
As with any exchange-traded fund, the fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
The principal risks of investing in the fund are:
Investment Selection Risk: MFS' investment analysis and its selection of investments may not produce the intended results and/or can lead to an investment focus that results in the fund underperforming other funds with similar investment strategies and/or underperforming the markets in which the fund invests. In addition, to the extent MFS considers quantitative tools in managing the fund, such tools may not produce the intended results.
Equity Market Risk/Company Risk: Equity markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to changes in, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions. These conditions can affect a single issuer or type of security, issuers within a broad market sector, industry or geographic region, or the equity markets in general. Certain events can have a dramatic adverse effect on equity markets and may lead to periods of high volatility in an equity market or a segment of an equity market. The value of an investment held by the fund may decline due to factors directly related to the issuer.
Value Company Risk: The stocks of value companies can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time and not realize their expected value and can be more volatile than the market in general.
Foreign Risk: Exposure to foreign markets through issuers or currencies can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments, especially those tied economically to countries with developing economies or countries subject to sanctions or the threat of new or modified sanctions, more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market.
Focus Risk: Issuers in a single industry, sector, country, or region can react similarly to market, currency, political, economic, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions, and the fund's performance will be affected by the conditions in the industries, sectors, countries, and regions to which the fund is exposed. Furthermore, investments in particular industries, sectors, countries, or regions may be more volatile than the broader market as a whole.
Liquidity Risk: It may be difficult to value, and it may not be possible to sell, certain investments, types of investments, and/or investments in certain segments of the market, and the fund may have to sell certain of these investments at prices or times that are not advantageous in order to meet redemptions or other cash needs.
Fluctuation of Net Asset Value and Share Price Risk: The net asset value (NAV) per share of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund's holdings. The fund's shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to purchases and sales, the existence of extreme market volatility, and/or a lack of an active trading market for the
Page 2 of 4
fund's shares may result in the fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV and bid/ask spreads may widen. Shares of the fund may trade at a larger premium or discount to the NAV than shares of other ETFs that focus on other market segments or types of securities. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for shares of the fund may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund's underlying portfolio holdings. If you buy fund shares when their market price is at a premium or sell fund shares when their market prices is at a discount, you may pay more than, or receive less than, NAV, respectively.
Authorized Participant Risks: Only financial institutions authorized to transact daily with the fund (Authorized Participants) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund, and Authorized Participants are not obligated to do so. To the extent an Authorized Participant cannot or is otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions, and no other Authorized Participant engages in such transactions, shares of the fund may trade at a significant discount or premium to NAV, experience wider intraday bid/ask spreads, and may face trading halts and/or delisting from the exchange.
Trading Issues Risk: There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the fund's shares will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading of the fund's shares may be halted or become less liquid. Shares of the fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a stock exchange, may be sold short and are therefore subject to the risk of increased volatility and price decreases associated with being sold short.
Most fund investors will buy and sell fund shares on the listing exchange or on another secondary market. When buying or selling shares of the fund, investors typically will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by financial intermediaries as determined by that financial intermediary.
Cash Transactions Risk: Unlike certain ETFs that distribute portfolio securities entirely in-kind, the fund may effect some or all creations and redemptions using cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in the fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only with Authorized Participants and only in large blocks of shares (each, a Creation Unit). Individual fund shares may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the fund. An Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit of the fund each business day that the fund is open in exchange for the delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash.
Shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange LLC ("NYSE" or the "Exchange"), and individual fund shares may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through a financial intermediary at market price. Because the fund's shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).
An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling fund shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.mfs.com.
Taxes
If your shares are held in a taxable account, the fund's distributions will be taxed to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains. However, if your shares are held in a tax-advantaged account, you will generally be taxed only upon withdrawals from the account unless such an account allows for tax-free withdrawals.
Payments to Broker/Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, MFS, and/or MFS' affiliates may pay financial intermediaries, which include banks, broker/dealers, or financial professionals, for the sale of shares of a fund and/or the servicing of shareholder accounts. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your broker/dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
