SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS
The date of this supplement is August 28, 2018.

For Certain MFS® Funds


Effective immediately, the section entitled "APPENDIX A – WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF SALES CHARGES" is restated in its entirety as follows:
APPENDIX A – WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF SALES CHARGES
This Appendix sets forth the various circumstances in which the initial sales charge ("ISC") and/or the CDSC is waived or reduced for the MFS funds' share classes. The waivers and reductions that are applicable to your transaction depend on your financial intermediary and the type of account and transaction.  If Merrill Lynch is the record owner of your shares and/or broker of record on your account and the account is maintained on an omnibus level by Merrill Lynch with the fund, Category II waivers apply.  If Ameriprise Financial is the record owner and/or broker of record on your account invested in Class A shares and the account is maintained on an omnibus level by Ameriprise Financial with the Fund, Category III waivers apply.  If Morgan Stanley is the record owner and/or broker of record on your account invested in Class A shares of the fund and the account is a Morgan Stanley Wealth Management transactional brokerage account maintained on an omnibus level by Morgan Stanley with the fund, the Class A ISC waivers set forth in Category IV apply.  Category I waivers apply to other accounts and transactions that do not otherwise fall under Category II, III, or IV.
Not all MFS funds offer each share class.  In order to qualify for a sales charge waiver or reduction, you must advise MFSC or your financial intermediary that you are eligible for the waiver at the time of purchase and/or redemption. The fund, MFS, and their affiliates reserve the right to eliminate, modify, and add waivers and reductions of sales charges at any time at their discretion.
Shares otherwise subject to a CDSC will not be charged a CDSC in an exchange. Shares will retain the CDSC schedule in effect prior to an exchange based upon a pro rata share of the CDSC from the exchanged fund and the original purchase date of the shares subject to the CDSC. If you exchange your shares out of MFS U.S. Government Money Market Fund into Class A shares of any other MFS fund, or if you exchange your shares out of MFS U.S. Government Cash Reserve Fund into Class A shares or Class 529A shares of any other MFS fund, you will pay the initial sales charge, if applicable, if you have not already paid this charge on these shares. You will not pay the initial sales charge if: the shares exchanged from either MFS fund were acquired by an exchange from any other MFS fund; the shares exchanged from either MFS fund were acquired by automatic investment of distributions from any other MFS fund; or the shares being exchanged would have, at the time of purchase, been eligible for purchase at net asset value had you invested directly in the MFS fund into which the exchange is being made.
In addition, transfers, rollovers, or other transactions from an account to a second account that purchases shares of the same class of the same fund or another MFS fund will not be charged the CDSC or ISC, as applicable, provided that the redemption order from the first account and the purchase order for the second account are combined into a single order for the transfer, rollover, or other transaction, and MFSC has available to it the necessary information about the CDSC applicable to the first account. Shares will retain the CDSC schedule in effect based upon a pro rata share of the CDSC from the fund in the first account and the original purchase date of the shares subject to the CDSC.
The CDSC may be waived from time to time pursuant to Conduct Rule 2830 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").
With respect to MFS Municipal Income Fund, all references to Class A shares shall also apply to Class A1 shares and all references to Class B shares shall also apply to Class B1 shares.



WAIVERS FOR CLASS T SHARES

There are generally no sales charge waivers for Class T share purchases, except that the sales charge will be waived if you are reinvesting distributions or converting from Class C shares pursuant to an agreement between your financial intermediary and MFD.

Description of Certain Investment Programs Eligible for Sales Charge Waivers or Reductions

Letter Of Intent (LOI). You may pay a reduced or no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A or Class 529A shares if you intend to invest a specific dollar amount, based on the gross amount of your investment (including the amount of any sales charge paid), including investments through any linked accounts in any class of any MFS fund within a 13-month period (36 months for a $1 million commitment). Distributions reinvested in additional shares of the fund or distributions from other MFS funds automatically invested in shares of the fund will not apply toward the satisfaction of the LOI.
For each purchase you make under the LOI you will pay the initial sales charge rate applicable to the total amount you intended to purchase.
Out of the shareholder's initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary), 5% of the dollar amount specified in the Letter of Intent application shall be held in escrow by MFSC in the form of shares registered in the shareholder's name. All distributions on escrowed shares
1035730                                      5                           MULTI-SUP-I-082818

will be paid to the shareholder or to the shareholder's order. At the end of the 13-month period or 36-month period, as applicable, the shareholder will be notified, the escrowed shares will be released, and the Letter of Intent will be terminated.
If the intended minimum investment amount is not completed, MFSC will redeem an appropriate number of the escrowed shares in order to pay the higher sales charge level for the amount actually purchased. Shares remaining after any such redemption will be released by MFSC. By completing and signing the Account Application or separate Service Application, the shareholder irrevocably appoints MFSC his or her attorney to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares with full power of substitution in the premises.
To establish an LOI, complete the Letter of Intent section of your account application or service application. In order to benefit from the LOI, it is your responsibility to inform your financial intermediary or MFSC that the LOI is in effect each time shares of a fund are purchased.

Right Of Accumulation (ROA). Under the ROA, you may pay a reduced or no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A or Class 529A shares by aggregating the total dollar amount of your investment with your existing investments or any linked accounts invested in MFS funds, based on the current maximum public offering price of the funds. For example, you will pay a sales charge on your current purchase at the rate applicable to the total value of all eligible accounts.

Linking Accounts For LOI and ROA. For purposes of obtaining reduced sales charges under the LOI and ROA, you may combine the value of your accounts with those of your spouse (or legal equivalent under applicable state law) and your children under the age of 21.
Eligible accounts that you may link under an LOI and ROA are:
·
Individual accounts;
·
Joint accounts;
·
Trust accounts of which you, your spouse (or legal equivalent under applicable state law), or child under the age of 21 is the grantor;
·
MFS 529 College Savings Plan accounts;
·
Certain single-participant retirement plan accounts;
·
Certain Individual Retirement Accounts;
·
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts; and
·
Accounts held in the name of your financial intermediary on your behalf.
It is your responsibility to inform the broker/dealer for each current purchase of any accounts held with the MFS funds that you believe are eligible to be linked under an LOI or an ROA. If you have not designated a broker/dealer, you should inform MFSC directly of any accounts held with the MFS funds that you believe are eligible to be linked under an LOI or an ROA. You should provide your financial intermediary (or MFSC if you have not designated a broker/dealer) with certain supporting information at the time of each purchase regarding accounts held with the MFS funds that are eligible to be combined for purposes of an LOI or ROA. Such information may include shareholder identification numbers or applicable account numbers or account statements. Your financial intermediary is responsible for taking into account this information about accounts eligible to be combined when transmitting your purchase order to the fund.

Group Purchases. A bona fide group and all its members may be treated at MFD's discretion as a single purchaser and, under the ROA (but not the LOI), obtain quantity sales charge discounts on the purchase of Class A, Class A1, or Class 529A shares if the group (1) gives its endorsement or authorization to the investment program so that it may be used by the financial intermediary to facilitate solicitation of the membership, thus effecting economies of the sales efforts; (2) has a legitimate purpose other than to purchase mutual fund shares at a discount; (3) is not a group of individuals whose sole organizational nexus is as credit cardholders of a company, policyholders of an insurance company, customers of a bank or financial intermediary, clients of an investment adviser, or other similar groups; and (4) agrees to provide certification of membership of those members investing money in the funds upon the request of MFD.  Employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401(a) plan, 457 deferred compensation plan, an Employer Sponsored Group IRA, and an IRA SEP/SARSEP, SIMPLE and 403(b) plans, may qualify as a bona fide group if they meet the above criteria.

Reinstatement Privilege.  With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, after you have redeemed fund shares, you have a one-time right per fund per registration to reinvest the proceeds in the fund within 90 days of the redemption without paying a sales charge. Proceeds can only be reinvested in the same class of the same fund under the same account registration, except proceeds from a Class B share redemption can only be reinvested into Class A shares.
Any CDSC paid upon the redemption of Class A shares or Class C shares will be credited to your account, and your new Class A shares or Class C shares will be subject to a CDSC according to the CDSC schedule applicable to your original shares.
Any CDSC paid upon the redemption of Class B shares will not be credited to your account.
In order to benefit from the reinstatement privilege, it is your responsibility to inform your financial intermediary or MFSC that the reinstatement privilege is in effect each time shares of the fund are purchased under this privilege.

To the extent that this prospectus elsewhere provides for a waiver with respect to such shares following a shorter holding period, that waiver will apply to exchanges following such shorter period. To the extent that this prospectus elsewhere provides for a waiver with respect to exchanges of Class C shares for load waived shares, that waiver will also apply to such exchanges.
 
Description of Certain Investment Programs Eligible for Sales Charge Waivers or Reductions

Letter Of Intent (LOI). You may pay a reduced or no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares if you intend to invest a specific dollar amount, based on the gross amount of your investment (including the amount of any sales charge paid), including investments through any linked accounts in any class of any MFS fund within a 13-month period (36 months for a $1 million commitment). Distributions reinvested in additional shares of the fund or distributions from other MFS funds automatically invested in shares of the fund will not apply toward the satisfaction of the LOI.

Right Of Accumulation (ROA). Under the ROA, you may pay a reduced or no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares by aggregating the total dollar amount of your investment with your existing investments or any linked accounts invested in MFS funds, based on the current maximum public offering price of the funds. For example, you will pay a sales charge on your current purchase at the rate applicable to the total value of all eligible accounts.

Linking Accounts For LOI and ROA. For purposes of obtaining reduced sales charges under the LOI and ROA, you may combine the value of your accounts with those of your spouse (or legal equivalent under applicable state law) and your children under the age of 21.
Eligible accounts that you may link under an LOI and ROA are:
·
Individual accounts;
·
Joint accounts;
·
Trust accounts of which you, your spouse (or legal equivalent under applicable state law), or child under the age of 21 is the grantor;
·
Certain single-participant retirement plan accounts;
·
Certain Individual Retirement Accounts;
·
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts; and
·
Accounts held in the name of your financial intermediary on your behalf.

It is your responsibility to inform Ameriprise Financial for each current purchase of any accounts not held by Ameriprise Financial that hold shares of the MFS funds that you believe are eligible to be linked under an LOI or an ROA.
