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 $184 billion in assets on behalf of more than 5
million individual and institutional investors worldwide as of March
31, 2008. The company traces its origins to 1924 and the creation of
America's first mutual fund.

The Trusts are closed-end investment products. Shares of the
Trusts are only available for purchase/sale, at the current market
price, on the NYSE, with the exception of the MFS California Insured
Municipal Fund which is available for purchase only on the American
Stock Exchange. Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
