NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: The Fund

The MFS Investment Funds (the “fund”) was established as a “Fonds Commun de Placement” by thepredecessor to MFS Investment Management Company (Lux) S.á r.l. (the “Management Company”) on14 July 2000. The Management Company was incorporated in and under the laws of the Grand-Duchy ofLuxembourg as a Société Anonyme on 20 June 2000 and converted to a Société à Responsabilité Limitéeas of 27 June 2011. The fund comprises separate sub-funds each of which relates to a separate portfolioof securities with specific investment objectives. The fund is subject to the provisions of the LuxembourgLaw of 13 February 2007, as amended. As of 30 September 2013, the fund offered units in eightsub-funds. Each sub-fund offers various unit classes as disclosed in the fund’s issuing document. Unitclasses available for each sub-fund as of 30 September 2013 can be found under “Statistical Information”in this report.

Effective 30 September 2013, the financial year end of the fund has been changed from 31 March to30 September.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatoryrequirements applicable to investment funds. In relation to the accounts of the fund, there were nosignificant reconciling differences on net investment income between Luxembourg legal and regulatoryrequirements for investment funds and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) used in theUnited States for the period ended 30 September 2013.

A) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in Luxembourg requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses during thereporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

B) Financial Instrument Valuations – Equity securities are generally valued at the last sale or officialclosing price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchange on which they areprimarily traded. Equity securities, for which there were no sales reported that day, are generally valued atthe last quoted daily bid quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchangeon which such securities are primarily traded.

Debt instruments and floating rate loans (other than short-term instruments) are generally valued at anevaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service.

Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as provided by athird-party pricing service on the exchange on which they are primarily traded. Exchange-traded optionsfor which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation asprovided by a third-party pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded.Options not traded on an exchange are generally valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Foreign currencyoptions are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the last posted settlement price as provided by a third-partypricing service on the market on which they are primarily traded. Futures contracts, for which there wereno trades that day for a particular position, are generally valued at the closing bid quotation as provided bya third-party pricing service on the market on which such futures contracts are primarily traded.

Swap agreements are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service, which forcleared swaps includes an evaluation of any trading activity at the clearinghouses.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of bid and asked prices forthe time period interpolated from rates provided by a third-party pricing service for proximate timeperiods.

Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortizedcost, which approximates market value.

Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing servicemay also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation.

Notes to financial statements – continued

Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market informationsuch as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data.The values of securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in non-base currencies are converted tothe base currency of the sub-fund based upon exchange rates provided by a third-party source.

The Board of Managers has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determinedthe value of the sub-fund’s investments (including any fair valuation) to the investment manager pursuantto valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the investment manager determines thatreliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined ingood faith by the investment manager in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of theBoard of Managers.

Under the fund’s valuation policies and procedures, investments may be valued at fair value if theinvestment manager determines that an investment’s value has been materially affected by eventsoccurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such asforeign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the sub-fund’s net asset value, or after thehalting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchangeor market on which the security is principally traded. Events that occur on a frequent basis after marketsclose (such as developments in foreign markets) and prior to the determination of the sub-fund’s net assetvalue may be deemed to have a material effect on the value of securities traded in these markets.Accordingly, the fund’s non-U.S. (“foreign”) equity securities may often be valued at fair value. Theinvestment manager may rely on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlationwith price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investmentcharacteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and othermarket data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment.The value of an investment for purposes of calculating the sub-fund’s net asset value can differ dependingon the source and method used to determine the value. When fair valuation is used, the value of aninvestment used to determine the sub-fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published pricesfor the same investment. There can be no assurance that the sub-fund could obtain the fair value assignedto an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which the sub-fund determines itsnet asset value per unit.

C) Dividends and Interest – Dividends received in cash are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certaindividends from foreign securities will be recorded when the sub-fund is informed of the dividend if suchinformation is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest payments received inadditional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend or ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value ofthe security on such date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each sub-fund accretesdiscounts and amortizes premiums on debt securities as adjustments to interest income.

The sub-funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigationinvolving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets in netrealized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions if the security has been disposed ofby the sub-fund or in net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, and currency translationif the security is still held by the sub-fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdingsare recorded as net realized gain, in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

D) Foreign Currency Translation – Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expensesinitially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into each sub-fund’s base currencybased upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions or on thereporting date for foreign denominated receivables and payables. The base currency for the EmergingMarkets Debt Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund II, andGlobal Value Ex-Japan Fund is USD. The base currency for the Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fundis JPY. The base currency for the Global Concentrated Equity Fund, Global Equity Euro Hedged Fund, andGlobal Equity Fund is EUR. Gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange rates on sales ofsecurities and foreign exchange rate movements on receivables, payables, income, and expenses arerecorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, andcurrency transactions. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments thatresults from fluctuations in currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

Notes to financial statements – continued

E) Cost of Securities Sold – In determining the cost of securities sold, each sub-fund uses the averagecost basis.

F) Over-the-Counter Derivative Collateral Requirements – Derivative counterparty credit risk ismanaged through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain, butnot all, over-the-counter derivatives, the sub-fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty creditrisk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement on abilateral basis, at the sub-fund level, with each of the counterparties with whom it undertakes a significantvolume of transactions. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right toterminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the creditquality of the other party. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, thenon-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to netamounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right toclose out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could resultin a reduction of the sub-fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by thesub-fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default by thecounterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offsetof reported balance sheet assets and liabilities across transactions between the sub-fund and theapplicable counterparty.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are set by the brokeror clearinghouse for cleared traded derivatives (i.e., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-tradedoptions) while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives (i.e., forwardforeign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and over-the-counter options). Forderivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across alltransactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other tocollateralize such obligations. Cash that has been segregated to cover the sub-fund’s collateral or marginobligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets andLiabilities as restricted cash. The Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund and Emerging Markets LocalCurrency Debt Fund II segregated ¥24,531,250 and $22,500, respectively, as cash collateral for open over-the-counter derivatives. Securities pledged as collateral for margin for the same purpose, if any, is noted inthe Schedules of Investments.

G) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – Each sub-fund may enter into forward foreigncurrency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on afuture date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability ofcounterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of thecontract. Certain sub-funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for efficientportfolio management or for investment purposes. For efficient portfolio management purposes, thesub-fund may enter into contracts to deliver or receive foreign currency it will receive from or require in itsnormal investment activities. The sub-fund may also use contracts in a manner intended to protect foreigncurrency denominated securities from declines in value due to unfavorable exchange rate movements. Forinvestment purposes, certain sub-funds may enter into contracts with the intent of changing the relativeexposure of the sub-fund’s portfolio of securities to different currencies to take advantage of anticipatedexchange rate changes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the dailyexchange rate of the underlying currency and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded as a receivable orpayable for forward foreign currency exchange contracts until the contract settlement date. On contractsettlement date, any gains or losses are recorded as realized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, andcurrency transactions in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Collateral, in the formof cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary inconnection with these agreements. Details of the forward foreign currency exchange contractsoutstanding are listed in Note 8.

The Emerging Markets Debt Fund, which has a base currency of USD, offers two hedged classes: Yen 1Class and Yen 3 Class. For these classes the sub-fund will seek to hedge US dollar to Yen exchange raterisk at the class level via the purchase or sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts. While thesub-fund may attempt to hedge US dollar exposure in the Yen 1 Class and Yen 3 Class, there can be no

48 ANNUAL REPORT

Page 51: MFS INVESTMENT FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT 30 September 2013 MFS ® INVESTMENT FUNDS Containing the following sub-Funds of Investment: Emerging Markets Debt Fund Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Notes to financial statements – continued

guarantee that it will be successful in doing so. The use of hedging for the classes may substantially limitthe holders of Yen 1 and Yen 3 units from benefiting if the Yen depreciates against the US dollar. Thecosts associated with the foreign exchange contracts that hedge the US dollar exposure will be allocatedto and reflected in the net asset value of the respective hedged class. Consequently, the performance andnet asset value per unit of the hedged Yen classes versus the unhedged Yen classes are expected to differ.The sub-fund will allocate the gains and losses of the hedging transactions described above to the relevanthedged Yen class on behalf of which the transactions were effected, and consequently it is anticipatedthat the effects of such hedging will not materially affect the unhedged Yen classes or any of the classesdenominated in other currencies.

In order to protect its present and future assets and liabilities related to Class FC of the Emerging MarketsLocal Currency Debt Fund against the fluctuation of emerging market local currencies, the sub-fundentered into transactions the object of which is the purchase or the sale of forward foreign currencyexchange contracts relating to the value of the US dollar (as an approximate proxy for the value of theemerging market local currencies), other currencies as an approximate proxy, or the emerging market localcurrencies themselves. While the sub-fund may attempt to hedge the emerging market local currenciesrisk, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so, nor that the US dollar (or othercurrencies as an approximate proxy) will be an effective proxy for the value of the emerging market localcurrencies. The use of these class hedging strategies may substantially limit holders of this unit class frombenefiting if the Yen falls against the emerging market local currencies (the currencies in which all of theassets of the portfolio are denominated) or the US dollar. Details of the class specific forward foreigncurrency exchange contracts outstanding are listed in Note 9.

Given that there is no segregation of liabilities between share classes of the sub-funds, there is a risk that,under certain circumstances, currency hedging transactions in relation to one share class could result inliabilities which might affect the net asset value of the other share classes of the same sub-fund.

H) Written Options – In exchange for a premium, each sub-fund may write call options on securities thatit anticipated the price would decline and also write put options on securities that it anticipated the pricewould increase. At the time the option was written, the sub-fund believed the premium received exceededthe potential loss that could result from adverse price changes in the options’ underlying securities. In awritten option, the sub-fund as the option writer grants the buyer the right to purchase from, or sell to,the sub-fund a specified number of shares or units of a particular security, currency or index at a specifiedprice within a specified period of time. The premium is initially recorded as a liability in the Statements ofAssets and Liabilities. The option is subsequently marked-to-market daily with the difference between thepremium received and the market value of the written option being recorded as unrealized appreciation ordepreciation. When a written option expires, the sub-fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of thepremium received. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closingtransaction is considered a realized gain or loss. When a written call option is exercised, the premiumreceived is offset against the proceeds to determine the realized gain or loss. When a written put option isexercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the sub-fund. In general,written call options may serve as a partial hedge against decreases in value in the underlying securities tothe extent of the premium received. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to beheld in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connection with these agreements.

At the initiation of the written option contract, for exchange traded options, the sub-fund is required todeposit securities or cash as collateral with the depositary for the benefit of the broker. Forover-the-counter options, the sub-fund may post collateral subject to the terms of an ISDA MasterAgreement as generally described above if the market value of the options contract moves against it. Thesub-fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold(call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of thesecurities underlying the written option. Losses from writing options can exceed the premium received andcan exceed the potential loss from an ordinary buy and sell transaction. Although the sub-fund’s marketrisk may be significant, the maximum counterparty credit risk to the sub-fund is equal to the market valueof any collateral posted to the broker. For over-the-counter options, this risk is mitigated in cases wherethere is an ISDA Master Agreement between the sub-fund and the counterparty providing for netting asdescribed above.

ANNUAL REPORT 49

Page 52: MFS INVESTMENT FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT 30 September 2013 MFS ® INVESTMENT FUNDS Containing the following sub-Funds of Investment: Emerging Markets Debt Fund Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Notes to financial statements – continued

I) Purchased Options – Each sub-fund may purchase call or put options for a premium. Purchased call andput options entitle the holder to buy or sell a specified number of shares or units of a particular security,currency or index at a specified price at a specified date or within a specified period of time. Purchasing calloptions may be used to hedge against an anticipated increase in the cost of securities or currency to beacquired or to increase the sub-fund’s exposure to an underlying instrument. Purchasing put options mayhedge against a decline in the value of portfolio securities or currency. The premium paid is initially recordedas an investment in the Schedules of Investments. That investment is subsequently marked-to-market dailywith the difference between the premium paid and the market value of the purchased option beingrecorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiums paid for purchased call and put options whichhave expired are treated as net realized loss on investments in the Statements of Operations and Changes inNet Assets. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased option, the premium paid is either added to the costof the security or financial instrument in the case of a call option, or offset against the proceeds on the saleof the underlying security or financial instrument in the case of a put option, in order to determine the netrealized gain or loss on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions. Collateral, in the form of cash orsecurities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connectionwith these agreements. Whether or not the option is exercised, the sub-fund’s maximum risk of loss frompurchasing an option is the amount of premium paid. All option contracts involve credit risk if thecounterparty to the option contract fails to perform. For over-the-counter options, this risk is mitigated incases where there is an ISDA Master Agreement between the fund and the counterparty providing fornetting as described above and for posting of collateral by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’sexposure to the counterparty under such ISDA Master Agreement.

J) Swap Agreements – Certain sub-funds may enter into swap agreements. A swap agreement isgenerally an exchange of cash payments, at specified intervals or upon the occurrence of specified events,between the sub-fund and another party. Interest rate and credit default swaps may be centrally cleared(“cleared swaps”). In a cleared swap transaction, the swap agreement is notated to a central counterparty(the “clearinghouse”) immediately following execution of the swap contract with an executing broker.Thereafter, throughout the term of the cleared swap, the fund interfaces indirectly with the clearinghousethrough a clearing broker. Net cash payments are exchanged at specified intervals and the expectedincome or expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The swap agreement is recorded at value and adjusteddaily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recordedas a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts paid orreceived at the inception of the swap agreement are disclosed as premiums paid or received in Note 12and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the agreement. A liquidationpayment received or made upon early termination is recorded as a realized gain or loss in the Statementsof Operations and Changes of Net Assets. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required tobe held in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connection with these agreements.

Risks related to swap agreements include the possible lack of a liquid market, unfavorable market andinterest rate movements of the underlying instrument and the failure of the counterparty to performunder the terms of the agreements. To address counterparty risk, swap agreements are limited to onlyhighly-rated counterparties. For uncleared swaps, that risk is further reduced by having an ISDA MasterAgreement between the sub-fund and its counterparty providing for netting as described above and bythe posting of collateral by the counterparty to the sub-fund to cover the sub-fund’s exposure to thecounterparty under such ISDA Master Agreement. Although not covered by an ISDA Master Agreement,the sub-fund’s counterparty risk due to cleared swaps is mitigated by the clearinghouse marginrequirements and financial safeguards in the event of a clearing broker default. Certain sub-funds mayenter into swaps for efficient portfolio management. Certain sub-funds may also enter into swaps forinvestment purposes. For efficient portfolio management purposes, the sub-fund may use swaps to reduceits exposure to interest and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For investment purposes, certain sub-fundsmay use swaps to take a position on anticipated changes in the underlying financial index.

Interest Rate Swaps – Interest rate swap agreements involve the periodic exchange of cash flows,between the sub-fund and a counterparty, based on the differences between two interest rates applied toa notional principal amount. The two interest rates exchanged may either be a fixed rate and a floatingrate or two floating rates based on different indices. The net receivable or payable associated with these

Notes to financial statements – continued

payments is accrued daily and recorded as an unrealized gain or loss, and any payments received or madeare recorded as realized gain or loss, in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Detailsof the interest rate swaps outstanding are listed in Note 12.

Credit Default Swaps – Credit default swaps are agreements to manage a sub-fund’s exposure to themarket or certain sectors of the market, to reduce a sub-fund’s credit risk exposure to defaults ofcorporate and sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is nototherwise exposed. In a credit default swap, the protection buyer can make an upfront payment and willmake a stream of payments based on a fixed percentage applied to the contract notional amount to theprotection seller in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of a definedcredit event on the reference obligation (which may be either a single security or a basket of securitiesissued by corporate or sovereign issuers) and, with respect to the rare cases where physical settlementapplies, the delivery by the buyer to the seller of a defined deliverable obligation. Although agreementspecific, credit events generally consist of a combination of the following: bankruptcy, failure to pay,restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium, each as defined inthe 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions as amended by the relevant contract. Restructuring isgenerally not applicable when the reference obligation is issued by a North American corporation andobligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium are generally only applicable whenthe reference obligation is issued by a sovereign entity or an entity in an emerging country. Upondetermination of the final price for the deliverable obligation (or upon delivery of the deliverable obligationin the case of physical settlement), the difference between the value of the deliverable obligation and theswap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations and Changesin Net Assets. As discussed earlier in this note, collateral requirements for these swaps are based generallyon the market value of the swap netted against collateral requirements for other types of over-the-counterderivatives traded under each counterparty’s ISDA Master Agreement. Details of the credit default swapsoutstanding are listed in Note 12.

K) Futures Contracts – The sub-funds may enter into futures contracts which may be used to hedgeagainst or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, currency exposure, or to manageduration. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at aspecified price on a specified date. Upon entering into a future contract, the sub-fund is required todeposit with the broker either in cash or securities an initial margin in an amount equal to a certainpercentage of the notional amount of the contract, which subjects the sub-fund to counterparty risk withrespect to such collateral. Subsequent payments are made or received by the sub-fund each day,depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statementpurposes as unrealized gains or losses by the sub-fund until the contract is closed or expires at which pointthe gain or loss on futures contracts is realized. Upon entering into such contracts, the sub-fund bears therisk of interest or exchange rates or securities’ prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the sub-fundmay not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Details of thefutures contracts outstanding, including collateral amounts posted by a sub-fund for such contracts, arelisted in Note 11.

Debt Fund. No distribution will be made in any of the other sub-funds and the profits allocated to each ofthose sub-funds shall be included in the net assets of the relevant sub-fund. For the period ended30 September 2013, there were no distributions paid on the Yen 1 and Yen 2 classes of the EmergingMarkets Debt Fund.

O) Repurchase Agreements – Each sub-fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Each repurchaseagreement is recorded at cost. For certain repurchase agreements, collateral posted by the counterparty isheld by the sub-funds’ depositary or its agent, while for others it is held with a third-party agent. In thelatter case, the sub-funds are exposed to additional counterparty risk with respect to such collateral due tothe possibility of insolvency of the third-party agent. Under Luxembourg regulations, the sub-funds’depositary has established procedures to monitor collateral held with such third-party agent on behalf ofthe sub-funds. Each sub-fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure that its value,including accrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to each sub-fund under each such repurchaseagreement. Each sub-fund and other funds managed by MFS, may utilize a joint trading account for thepurpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements. Details of the repurchase agreementsincluding various counterparties and the collateral amounts relating to such agreements outstanding arelisted in Note 10.

P) Inflation-Adjusted Debt Securities – Certain sub-funds may invest in inflation-adjusted debt securitiesissued by the U.S. Treasury. Certain sub-funds may also invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued byU.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities other than the U.S. Treasury and by other entities such asU.S. and foreign corporations and foreign governments. The principal value of these debt securities isadjusted through income according to changes in the Consumer Price Index or another general price orwage index. These debt securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest, but this fixed rate is applied to theinflation-adjusted principal amount. The principal paid at maturity of the debt security is typically equal to theinflation-adjusted principal amount, or the security’s original par value, whichever is greater. Other types ofinflation-adjusted securities may use other methods to adjust for other measures of inflation.

Note 3: Depositary Fee

Each sub-fund will pay State Street Bank Luxembourg S.A., the funds’ depositary and global custodian,(the “Depositary”), a fee based on the monthly net asset value of the sub-funds plus a fee based upon thetrading activity of each sub-fund. The Depositary and MFS, on behalf of the fund, shall determine the levelof the fee from time to time in light of market rates applicable in Luxembourg. Reasonable disbursementsand out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Depositary or by other banks and financial institutions towhich safekeeping of assets of the sub-funds is entrusted are in addition to the Depositary’s fee. The fundhas also appointed State Street as the Luxembourg Paying Agent, Central Administration Agent, and FundAccounting Agent, for which it pays fees at commercial rates agreed between the parties, together withreasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

The procedures selected depend on the judgement of the “réviseur d’entreprisesagréé”, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the “réviseur d’entreprises agréé”considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financialstatements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for thepurpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates made by the Board of Managers of the Management Company, as well as evaluating the overallpresentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion.
