This supplement replaces a previous supplement dated March 4, 2009.

The Board of Trustees of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust II (the "Trust") approved, subject to shareholder approval, the merger of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio into MFS Value Portfolio. It is expected that this approval will be sought at a shareholder meeting expected to be held sometime in June, 2009.

If shareholders approve the proposal relating to the merger of the portfolios of the Trust, shortly after shareholder approval, all of the assets of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will be transferred to MFS Value Portfolio and shareholders of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will receive shares of MFS Value Portfolio in exchange for their shares.

Massachusetts Financial Services Company has decided that, on or about June 19, 2009, no exchanges may be made into the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio. Therefore, purchase payments, exchanges and any automatic programs, such as dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and asset allocation, into the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio may be suspended at that time.

Immediately after the merger, purchase payments and purchases that are part of a dollar-cost averaging program, a portfolio rebalancing program, an asset allocation program, or any automatic deposit program will continue with the MFS Value Portfolio replacing the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio.

Please retain this supplement with your prospectus for future reference.
