. Kavanaugh and Ms. Roepke serve as Trustees elected by holders of common shares for a three-year term.

Unless otherwise noted, each current Trustee listed above served as a member of
the Board of 139 funds within the MFS Family of Funds (the “MFS Funds”) as of July 31, 2025. The
address of each Trustee is c/o MFS, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199.

The following provides
an overview of the Board's process for identifying individuals for the pool from which trustee candidates
are ultimately selected and the considerations that led the Board to conclude that each individual serving
as a Trustee of the Trust should so serve. As part of this process, the Board works with the Nomination
and Compensation Committee, which recommends qualified trustee candidates to the Board in the event that
a position is vacated or created. Because the Trustees believe that a well-balanced and qualified board
is an important component of a strong governance structure, the Board is committed to actively seeking
individuals with diverse backgrounds, experience and perspectives, including women and underrepresented
minority candidates, for the pool from which trustee candidates are selected. The current members of
the Board have joined the Board at different points in time since 2005. Generally, no one factor was
decisive in the original selection of an individual to join the Board. Among the factors the Board considered
when concluding that an individual should serve on the Board were the following: (i) the individual’s
business and professional experience and accomplishments; (ii) the individual’s ability to work effectively
with the other members of the Board; (iii) the individual’s prior experience, if any, serving on the
boards of public companies (including, where relevant, other investment companies) and other complex
enterprises and organizations; and (iv) how the individual’s skills, experience and attributes would
contribute to an appropriate mix of relevant skills, experience, and perspectives on the Board.

**In respect of each current Trustee, the individual’s substantial professional accomplishments and prior experience, including, in some cases, in fields related to the operations of the Trusts, were a significant factor in the determination that the individual should serve as a Trustee of the Trusts. Following is a summary of each Trustee’s professional experience and additional considerations that contributed to the Board’s conclusion that an individual should serve on the Board:
