&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class B shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.42%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class C shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.42%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class I shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.55%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The fund's out-of-benchmark exposure to both the BB and B-rated credit quality segments, and its overweight exposure to BBB-rated bonds, supported relative performance.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: circle; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt; padding-left: 0; margin-left: 16pt;"&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R1 shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.51%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R2 shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.94%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R3 shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.20%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R4 shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.63%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R6 shares of the MFS Corporate Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.65%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.25%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth.

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class A shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.04%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class C shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.16%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class I shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.37%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R1 shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.16%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R2 shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.96%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R3 shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.11%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R4 shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.20%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R6 shares of the MFS Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.28%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.42%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

If none of the 3 agencies rate a security, we use DBRS Morningstar. If none of the 4 agencies rate a security, we use Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Ratings are shown in the S&amp;amp;P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). All ratings are subject to change.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class A shares of the MFS Municipal Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.95%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;6.34%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-9 Year Municipal Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.91%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The municipal market produced positive returns over the trailing year, characterized by a supportive backdrop punctuated by bouts of volatility. Following a spike in April 2025, bond yield volatility generally trended lower through January of this year, providing a tailwind to returns. Additionally, the resumption of Fed rate cuts in late 2025 bolstered fixed income assets, including municipals. Volatility rose again in March of this year due to heightened geopolitical risks and related economic effects before returning to relatively low levels late in the period. Resilient inflows and generally solid credit fundamentals were key supports for the asset class. The benchmark index for this fund generated a return of 4.91% for the period. A positive for income-oriented investors, the yield (yield-to-worst) of the benchmark index ended the period at 3.03%, higher than the five-year average of 2.60%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class B shares of the MFS Municipal Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.04%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;6.34%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-9 Year Municipal Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.91%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The municipal market produced positive returns over the trailing year, characterized by a supportive backdrop punctuated by bouts of volatility. Following a spike in April 2025, bond yield volatility generally trended lower through January of this year, providing a tailwind to returns. Additionally, the resumption of Fed rate cuts in late 2025 bolstered fixed income assets, including municipals. Volatility rose again in March of this year due to heightened geopolitical risks and related economic effects before returning to relatively low levels late in the period. Resilient inflows and generally solid credit fundamentals were key supports for the asset class. The benchmark index for this fund generated a return of 4.91% for the period. A positive for income-oriented investors, the yield (yield-to-worst) of the benchmark index ended the period at 3.03%, higher than the five-year average of 2.60%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class C shares of the MFS Municipal Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.94%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;6.34%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-9 Year Municipal Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.91%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The municipal market produced positive returns over the trailing year, characterized by a supportive backdrop punctuated by bouts of volatility. Following a spike in April 2025, bond yield volatility generally trended lower through January of this year, providing a tailwind to returns. Additionally, the resumption of Fed rate cuts in late 2025 bolstered fixed income assets, including municipals. Volatility rose again in March of this year due to heightened geopolitical risks and related economic effects before returning to relatively low levels late in the period. Resilient inflows and generally solid credit fundamentals were key supports for the asset class. The benchmark index for this fund generated a return of 4.91% for the period. A positive for income-oriented investors, the yield (yield-to-worst) of the benchmark index ended the period at 3.03%, higher than the five-year average of 2.60%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class I shares of the MFS Municipal Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.98%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;6.34%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-9 Year Municipal Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.91%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The municipal market produced positive returns over the trailing year, characterized by a supportive backdrop punctuated by bouts of volatility. Following a spike in April 2025, bond yield volatility generally trended lower through January of this year, providing a tailwind to returns. Additionally, the resumption of Fed rate cuts in late 2025 bolstered fixed income assets, including municipals. Volatility rose again in March of this year due to heightened geopolitical risks and related economic effects before returning to relatively low levels late in the period. Resilient inflows and generally solid credit fundamentals were key supports for the asset class. The benchmark index for this fund generated a return of 4.91% for the period. A positive for income-oriented investors, the yield (yield-to-worst) of the benchmark index ended the period at 3.03%, higher than the five-year average of 2.60%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R6 shares of the MFS Municipal Limited Maturity Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;5.19%&lt;/span&gt;, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;6.34%&lt;/span&gt; for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-9 Year Municipal Bond Index, generated a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.91%&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;The municipal market produced positive returns over the trailing year, characterized by a supportive backdrop punctuated by bouts of volatility. Following a spike in April 2025, bond yield volatility generally trended lower through January of this year, providing a tailwind to returns. Additionally, the resumption of Fed rate cuts in late 2025 bolstered fixed income assets, including municipals. Volatility rose again in March of this year due to heightened geopolitical risks and related economic effects before returning to relatively low levels late in the period. Resilient inflows and generally solid credit fundamentals were key supports for the asset class. The benchmark index for this fund generated a return of 4.91% for the period. A positive for income-oriented investors, the yield (yield-to-worst) of the benchmark index ended the period at 3.03%, higher than the five-year average of 2.60%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class A shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.40&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Favorable security selection within the industrials sector also supported relative results.&lt;/div&gt;

Not owning any securities within the government-related sovereign sector also held back relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class I shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.56&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R1 shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;3.52&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R2 shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.04&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R3 shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.30&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R4 shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.56&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;For the twelve months ended April 30, 2026, Class R6 shares of the MFS Total Return Bond Fund (fund) provided a total return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.66&lt;/span&gt;%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of &lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;4.06&lt;/span&gt;% for the fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. A new geopolitical event distressed markets at the end of the period as US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran, disrupting Mideast oil and natural gas exports.&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt; During the period, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law in the US, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the economic outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs prior to the conflict in Iran. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained high.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. While the US Supreme Court struck down part of the Trump administration&#x2019;s tariff strategy, the administration began deploying other authorities to largely replace the ones that were ruled unconstitutional.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;Early in the period, moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September and delivered quarter-point rate cuts in October and December before pausing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400; padding-left: 2pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 16pt; font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; padding-right: 6pt;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-weight: 400; font-family: 'arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin: 0px;"&gt;In fixed income markets, previously range-bound global bond yields spiked following the onset of the Middle East conflict, as energy-driven inflation fears appeared to have rattled bond investors. US rate volatility (as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index) similarly rose from intra-period lows, reflecting uncertainty around the scope and duration of the conflict and its implications for global growth. However, volatility later retracted as the risk of a broader regional military escalation appeared less likely. Global credit spreads widened only modestly before stabilizing near prior levels, supported by strong demand and resilient underlying fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
