^The fund has adopted a managed distribution plan. Under a
managed distribution plan, to the extent that sufficient investment
income is not available on a monthly basis, the fund will
distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in
order to maintain its managed distribution level. You should not
draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance from
the amount of the fund’s distributions or from the terms of the
fund’s managed distribution plan. The Board of the fund may amend
the terms of the plan or terminate the plan at any time without
prior notice to the fund's shareholders. The amendment or
termination of a plan could have an adverse effect on the market
price of the fund’s common shares. The plan will be subject to
periodic review by the Board. With each distribution that does not
consist solely of net investment income, the fund will issue a
notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will
provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition
of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and
sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are
only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting
purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax
reporting purposes will depend upon the fund’s investment
experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to
changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send shareholders a
Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell them how to
report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The
fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income
and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the
distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital
may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that
shareholders invested in the fund is paid back to them. A return of
capital does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment
performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.
Any such returns of capital will decrease the fund's total assets
and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund's
expense ratio. In addition, in order to make the level of
distributions called for under its plan, the fund may have to sell
portfolio securities at a less than opportune time. For estimated
source information for distributions paid in prior periods, please

Strategies, Closed-End Funds, Dividend Source Information.
*Distribution from "Other Sources" may contain sources of income
other than ordinary income, such as short term capital gains, long
term capital gains, or return of capital, which can not be
determined until the close of the fund's fiscal year end.
Distributions that are treated for federal income tax purposes as a
return of capital will reduce a shareholder's tax basis in his or
her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a
shareholder's adjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the
shareholder from a sale of shares. Please see the fund's most
recent dividend source information available from payable date at
MFS.com for the breakdown of the distribution.
Investors who want to make changes to their accounts should
contact their financial advisor, brokerage firm, or other nominee
with whom the shares are registered. If shares are registered with
the funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, the transfer agent may be
contacted directly at 800-637-2304, or www.computershare.com.
