ITEM 1 — ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which oversees each Trust, provides broad supervision over the affairs of each Trust. Those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of your Trust or of MFS are referred to as “Independent Trustees” throughout this Proxy Statement. MFS is responsible for the investment management of each Trust’s assets and for providing a variety of other administrative services to each Trust. The officers of each Trust are responsible for its operations.

The Board consists of ten trustees, nine of whom are Independent Trustees. An Independent Trustee serves as Chair of the Board. In addition, each of the seven standing Committees of the Board, to which the Board has delegated certain authority and oversight responsibilities, is compromised exclusively of Independent Trustees. For a description of the oversight functions of each of the Committees, see “Committees” on page 10 of this Proxy Statement. Three of the Committees have as members all of the Independent Trustees, and the remaining Committees have four Independent Trustees as members. In connection with each of the Board’s regular meetings, the Independent Trustees meet separately from MFS with their counsel and with the Trusts Independent Chief Compliance Officer. The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically and believes that its structure is appropriate to enable the Board to exercise its oversight of the Trusts.

The Trusts have retained MFS as the Trusts’ investment adviser and administrator. MFS provides the Trusts with investment advisory services, and is responsible for day-to-day administration of the Trusts and management of the risks that arise from the Trusts’ investments and operations. Employees of MFS serve as the Trusts’ officers, including the Trusts’ principal executive officer. The Board provides oversight of the services provided by MFS, including the risk management activities. In addition, each Committee of the Board provides oversight of MFS’ risk management activities with respect to the particular activities within the Committee’s purview. In the course of providing oversight, the Board and the Committees receive a wide range of reports on the Trusts’ activities, including each Trusts’ investment portfolio, the compliance of the Trusts with applicable laws, and the Funds’ financial accounting and reporting. The Board and the relevant Committees meet periodically with MFS’ Chief Compliance Officer, MFS’ Chief Enterprise Risk Officer, and MFS’ Chief Investment Risk Officer to receive reports on MFS’ risk management activities. The Board also meets periodically with the Trusts’ Independent Chief Compliance Officer to receive reports regarding the compliance of the Trusts with the federal securities laws and the Trusts’ internal compliance policies and procedures. In addition, the Board meets periodically with the portfolio managers of the Trusts to receive reports regarding the management of the Trusts, including their investment risks.

Effective as of the election and qualification of the nominees at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board has fixed the number of Trustees of each Trust at ten. Under the provisions of each Trust’s Declaration of Trust, the Trustees are divided into three classes, each having a term of three years. Under the terms of the Boards’ retirement policy, a Trustee shall retire at the end of the calendar year in which he or she reaches 73 years of age, provided that the Board may, in its discretion, extend the term of such Trustee for a maximum of two additional one-year periods.

For each of MFS Charter Income Trust, MFS Government Markets Income Trust, MFS InterMarket Income Trust I, MFS Intermediate High Income Fund, MFS Intermediate Income Trust, MFS Multimarket Income Trust, and MFS Special Value Trust, the Nomination and Compensation Committee has selected and nominated, and recommended that the Board nominate, for election by shareholders, Maureen R. Goldfarb,

3

Robert J. Manning, and Laurie J. Thomsen as Trustees of the class whose term will expire at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) of the Trust, in each case, to hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Board has nominated each of the individuals selected and nominated by the Committee. Each nominee is presently a Trustee of MFS Charter Income Trust, MFS Government Markets Income Trust, MFS InterMarket Income Trust I, MFS Intermediate High Income Fund, MFS Intermediate Income Trust, MFS Multimarket Income Trust, and MFS Special Value Trust and has agreed to serve as a Trustee of each Trust if elected. The Board recommends that you vote in favor of their election.

For each of MFS California Municipal Fund, MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, and MFS Municipal Income Trust, the Nomination and Compensation Committee has selected and nominated, and recommended that the Board nominate, for election by holders of common shares and preferred shares, voting together as a single class, Maureen R. Goldfarb and Robert J. Manning as Trustees of the class whose term will expire at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) to hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Nomination and Compensation Committee has also selected and nominated, and recommended that the Board nominate, for election by holders of preferred shares only, voting as a separate class, John P. Kavanaugh and Laurie J. Thomsen for a term that will expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) to hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Board has nominated each of the individuals selected and nominated by the Committee. Each nominee is presently a Trustee of MFS California Municipal Fund, MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust, MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, and MFS Municipal Income Trust and has agreed to serve as Trustee of each Trust if elected. The Board recommends that you vote in favor of their election.

It is intended that, absent contrary instructions, proxies will be voted in favor of electing Maureen R. Goldfarb, John P. Kavanaugh, Robert J. Manning, and Laurie J. Thomsen. If, before the election, any nominee refuses or is unable to serve, proxies will be voted for a replacement nominee designated by each Trust’s current Trustees, or the Trustees may fix the number of Trustees at fewer than ten for a Trust.

The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees of each Trust, including their principal occupations, which, unless specific dates are shown, are of more than five years duration, although the titles may not have been the same throughout. Additional information about each Trustee follows the table.

Each current Trustee listed above served as a board member of 143 funds within the MFS Family of Funds (the “MFS Funds”) as of January 1, 2013. The address of each Trustee is c/o MFS, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199.

The following provides an overview of the considerations that led the Board to conclude that each individual serving as a Trustee of the Trust should so serve. The current members of the Board of the MFS Funds have joined the Board at different points in time since 1989. 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 and experience 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 MFS Funds, 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:

The Trustees generally hold at least 8 regular meetings each calendar year. These regular meetings take place over a two-day period. The performance and operations of each of the Trusts is reviewed by the Trustees at each meeting and more in-depth reviews of particular Trusts are conducted by the Trustees throughout the year. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2012 and November 30, 2012, each Trust held 9 Board meetings (10 Board meetings for MFS Municipal Income Trust, MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust, MFS California Municipal Fund, MFS High Income Municipal Trust, MFS High Yield Municipal Trust). Each Trustee attended at least 75% of the Board and applicable committee meetings noted for each Trust.

Audit Committee

Each Trust’s Audit Committee consists only of Independent Trustees. Each Trust’s Audit Committee’s statement on the Trust’s most recent audited financials is included below under the heading “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.” Each Trust’s Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of the Committee’s charter is available at www.MFS.com , by clicking on “Products”, “Closed-End Funds”, then the specific Closed-End Fund, and “Fund Reports”.

Nomination and Compensation Committee

The Trustees have adopted a written charter for the Nomination and Compensation Committee. A copy of the Committee’s charter is available at www.MFS.com.

Each Trust’s Nomination and Compensation Committee consists only of Independent Trustees.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee requires that Trustee candidates have a college degree or equivalent business experience, but has not otherwise established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual to be considered by the Committee for nomination as a Trustee. The Nomination and Compensation Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Trustee candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend

15

meetings and perform his or her responsibilities to the Board; (ii) relevant industry and related experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) financial expertise; (v) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise; (vi) overall diversity of the composition of the Board; and (vii) such other factors as the Committee deems appropriate. While the Committee has not adopted a particular definition of diversity, when considering a nominee’s and the Board’s diversity, the Committee generally considers the manner in which each nominee’s professional experience, expertise in matters that are relevant to the oversight of the Funds (e.g., investment management, distribution, accounting, trading, compliance, legal), general leadership experience, and life experience (including with respect to gender and ethnicity) are complementary and, as a whole, contribute to the ability of the Board to oversee the Funds. The Nomination and Compensation Committee may consider candidates for Trustee recommended by each Trust’s current Trustees, officers or shareholders or by MFS or any other source deemed appropriate by the Nomination and Compensation Committee. The Nomination and Compensation Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at the applicable Trust’s expense to identify potential candidates.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee will review and consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as Trustee, provided that the recommending shareholder follows the Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates, which are set forth as Appendix B to the Trusts’ Nomination and Compensation Committee Charter (which is available at www.MFS.com). Among other requirements, these procedures provide that the recommending shareholder must submit any recommendation in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the Trust’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust. Any recommendation must include certain biographical information and other information regarding the candidate and the recommending shareholder, and must include a written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected. The Nomination and Compensation Committee takes the diversity of a particular nominee and the overall diversity of the Board into account when considering and evaluating nominees for trustee. The foregoing description is only a summary.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee has full discretion to reject nominees recommended by shareholders, and there is no assurance that any such person properly recommended and considered by the Committee will be nominated for election to the Board of a Trust.

Share Ownership

As of August 2, 2013, the Trustees and officers of each Trust as a whole owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of any Trust.

The following table shows the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each nominee or Trustee (a) of each Trust and (b) on an aggregate basis, in all MFS Funds overseen by the nominee or Trustee, as of August 2, 2013.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees of each Trust has adopted procedures by which shareholders may send communications to the Board. Shareholders may mail written communications to the Board of Trustees, [Name of Trust], c/o Massachusetts Financial Services Company, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199, Attention: Frank Tarantino, Independent Chief Compliance Officer. Shareholder communications must (i) be in writing and be signed by the shareholder, (ii) identify the MFS Trust to which they relate and (iii) identify the class and number of shares held by the shareholder. Each Trust’s Independent Chief Compliance Officer (“ICCO”) is responsible for reviewing all properly submitted shareholder communications. The ICCO shall either (i) provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communication to the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting or (ii) if the ICCO determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the Chair of the Trustees promptly after receipt. The ICCO may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board because it is ministerial in nature (such as a request for Trust literature, share data or financial information). The ICCO may in such cases forward the communication to the appropriate party or parties at MFS. These procedures do not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee of the Trust, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent of the Trust, unless such communication is made solely in such employee’s or agent’s capacity as a shareholder or (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule l4a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any communication made in connection with such a proposal. Each Trust’s Trustees are not required to attend the Trust’s shareholder meetings or to otherwise make themselves available to shareholders for communications, other than pursuant to the aforementioned procedures. No Board members attended the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Each Trust’s Declaration of Trust currently provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Trust, unless it is finally adjudicated or, in case of a settlement, it has

20

been determined by Trustees not involved in the matter or independent legal counsel, that they have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Trust or that they engaged in willful misfeasance or acted with bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their offices.

Retirement Benefit Deferral Plan — Under a Retirement Benefit Deferral Plan, certain Trustees have deferred benefits from a prior retirement plan for MFS Charter Income Trust, MFS Intermediate Income Trust, MFS Municipal Income Trust, MFS Multimarket Income Trust, MFS Special Value Trust, and MFS Government Markets Income Trust. The value of the benefits is periodically readjusted as though the Trustee had invested an equivalent amount in Class A shares of other Fund(s) designated by such Trustee. The value of the deferred benefits will be paid to the Trustees upon retirement or thereafter. The plan does not obligate a Trust to retain the services of any Trustee or pay any particular level of compensation to any Trustee. The plan is not funded and the Trust’s obligation to pay the Trustee’s deferred compensation is a general unsecured obligation.

TRUST INFORMATION

This section provides certain information about each Trust, including information about its investment adviser and administrator, independent registered public accounting firm, executive officers and the identity of persons holding more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of any Trust.

Investment Adviser and Administrator

Each Trust engages as its investment adviser and administrator MFS, a Delaware corporation with offices at 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199. MFS and its predecessor organizations have a history of money management dating from 1924. MFS is a subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Financial Services Holdings, Inc., which in turn is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. (a diversified financial services company).

24

The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has no direct or material indirect interest in a Trust.

Representatives of the applicable Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm are not expected to be present at the Meeting, but they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and they will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Each Trust’s Audit Committee submitted the following statement to be included in this Proxy Statement:

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Trust management. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Auditor the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61(Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards), which was superseded by SAS No. 114, as amended (The Auditor’s Communication with Those Charged with Governance). The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the Auditor required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent Auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence and discussed with the Auditor its independence.

Based on this review and the review of other information and these and other discussions the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in each Trust’s annual report to shareholders for each Trust’s 2012 fiscal year end for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The members of each Trust’s Audit Committee are: Robert E. Butler, John P. Kavanaugh, Laurie J. Thomsen, and Robert W. Uek.

To the extent required by applicable regulations, pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to each Trust and all permissible non-audit services rendered by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to MFS and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with MFS that provides ongoing services to a Trust (including MFS Service Center, Inc.) (each, a “Service Affiliate”) if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of such Trust. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis. In the event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to

25

seek pre-approval at the next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee; provided that the Chair may not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000 or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000 between such regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Schedule A attached hereto includes tables that set forth for each Trust’s two most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by each Trust’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for (a) all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Trust and (b) those non-audit services provided to each Trust’s Service Affiliates that relate directly to the Trust’s operations and financial reporting under the following captions:

Schedule A attached hereto also sets forth the aggregate fees billed by each Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for each Trust’s two most recent fiscal years for non-audit services rendered to each Trust and each Trust’s Service Affiliates.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by each Trust’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of non-audit services to each Trust’s Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each Trust was compatible with maintaining the independence of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm as each Trust’s principal auditor.

26

Officers

The following table provides information about the current executive officers of each Trust including their principal occupations, which, unless specific dates are shown, are of more than five years duration, although the titles may not have been the same throughout. Each officer will hold office until his or her successor is chosen and qualified, or until he or she retires, resigns or is removed from office.

27

Each Trust’s officers held comparable positions with the 143 funds in the MFS Family of Funds as of January 1, 2013, and with certain affiliates of MFS. The address of each officer is MFS, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199.

Interests of Certain Persons

Schedule B attached hereto sets forth, as of August 2, 2013, to the best knowledge of each Trust, the shareholders who beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of such Trust.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Trustees and officers of each Trust, MFS, certain persons affiliated with MFS, and persons who own more than ten percent of any class of the Trust’s shares, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish each Trust with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file in relation to that Trust.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to each Trust with respect to its most recent fiscal year each Trust believes all Section 16(a) transactions were reported on a timely basis, except that Robert Pozen (former Trustee) and Maria DiOrioDwyer (former Officer) each filed a Form 4 late for MFS Charter Income Trust, MFS Government Markets Income Trust, MFS Intermediate Income Trust, MFS Multimarket Income Trust, MFS Municipal Income Trust, and MFS Special Value Trust
