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

Fund Shares

$45

$141

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. The portfolio turnover rate for the fund is not available because the fund commenced operations after February 28, 2026, its most recent fiscal year end.

Principal Investment Strategies

MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services Company, the fund's investment adviser) 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. 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 securities of companies of any size.

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, which takes into account factors such as an issuer's financial condition and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions, to determine a fundamental rating for an issuer. MFS uses quantitative analysis to systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, in determining 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 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.

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, its development and use of quantitative models, 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. The quantitative models used by MFS (both proprietary and third-party) may not produce the intended results for a variety of reasons, including the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor in the models, changes from the market factors' historical trends, changing sources of market return or market risk, and technical issues in the design, development, implementation, application, and maintenance of the models (e.g., incomplete, stale, or inaccurate data, human error, programming or other software issues, coding errors, and technology failures).

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.

Investment Strategy Risk: There is no assurance that the fund's predicted tracking error will equal its target predicted tracking error at any point in time or consistently for any period of time, or that the fund's predicted tracking error and actual tracking error will be similar. The fund's strategy to target a predicted tracking error of

approximately 2% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and to blend fundamental and quantitative research may not produce the intended results. In addition, MFS' fundamental research is not available for all issuers.

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 emerging markets 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.

Emerging Markets Risk: Investments tied economically to emerging markets, especially frontier markets, can involve additional and greater risks than the risks associated with investments in developed markets. Emerging markets can have less developed markets, greater custody and operational risk, less developed legal, regulatory, and accounting systems, greater government involvement in the economy, greater risk of new or inconsistent government treatment of or restrictions on issuers and instruments, and greater political, social, geopolitical, and economic instability than developed markets.

Currency Risk: The value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar fluctuates in response to market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions, and changes in currency exchange rates impact the financial condition of companies or other issuers and may change the value in U.S. dollars of investments denominated in foreign currencies.

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.

Capacity Risk: The markets and securities in which the fund primarily invests may, at times, have limited capacity, and as an ETF, the fund cannot be closed to new investors as a means of managing capacity. During periods of capacity constraints, the implementation and execution of the fund's strategy, including the portfolio securities purchased, held, and sold by the fund, may change, and capacity limitations may negatively impact the performance of the fund.

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 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

Page 3 of 4

MFS Blended Research Emerging Markets Equity ETF

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.
