Shareholders should not necessarily draw any conclusions about
the fund's investment performance from the amount of this
distribution or from the terms of the fund's managed distribution
plan.
The fund may estimate that it has distributed more than its
income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of shareholders’
distributions may be a return of capital. A return of capital may
occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders
invested in the fund is paid back to shareholders. A return of
capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the fund's
investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or
"income."
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice
are only estimates and are not being provided for tax-reporting
purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for
tax-reporting purposes will depend upon the fund's investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send
shareholders Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell
shareholders how to report these distributions for federal income
tax purposes.
MFS manages approximately $204.0 billion in assets on behalf of
individual and institutional investors worldwide as of September

of America’s first “open-end” mutual fund.
The Trusts are closed-end investment products. Shares of the

Insured Municipal Fund which is available for purchase only on the
