Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the funds annual and semiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the complete reports will be made available on the funds Web site (funds.mfs.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a Web site link to access the report.
If you are already signed up to receive shareholder reports by email, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may sign up to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the fund by email by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you hold your shares directly with the fund, by calling 1-800-225-2606 or by logging on to MFS Access at mfs.com.
Beginning on January 1, 2019, you may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. Contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the fund, you can call 1-800-225-2606 or send an email request to orderliterature@mfs.com to let the fund know that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all funds held with the MFS fund complex if you invest directly.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. MFS endeavors to fully invest all MFS funds-of-funds in underlying funds on a daily basis. Any divergence from 0.0% in Cash & Cash Equivalents is typically due to the timing of fund subscriptions/redemptions and the settlement of subsequent investment in/divestment from the underlying funds. While the MFS funds-of-funds subscriptions/redemptions are processed at the same day NAV of the underlying funds, a positive/negative cash balance will be reflected on the MFS funds-of-funds Statements of Assets and Liabilities until the trades with the underlying funds settle, which is typically two business days. Please see the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the funds cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, May 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019
As a shareholder of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments, and (2) ongoing costs, including distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
In addition to the fees and expenses which each fund bears directly, each fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which each fund invests. Because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and each fund may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each fund will vary. If these transactional and indirect costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MFS LIFETIME INCOME FUND
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class 529A, Class 529B, Class 529C, and Class R6, the period is from the class inception, January 8, 2015 (Classes 529A, 529B, and 529C) and August 29, 2016 (Class R6), respectively, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(w) | Per share amount was less than $0.01. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

MFS LIFETIME 2030 FUND
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

MFS LIFETIME 2035 FUND
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(w) | Per share amount was less than $0.01. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(w) | Per share amount was less than $0.01. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(w) | Per share amount was less than $0.01 and total return or ratio was less than 0.01%, as applicable. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

(a) | Annualized. |
(d) | Per share data is based on average shares outstanding. |
(f) | Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable. |
(h) | In addition to the fees and expenses which the fund bears directly, the fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. Accordingly, the expense ratio for the fund reflects only those fees and expenses borne directly by the fund. Because the underlying affiliated funds have varied expense and fee levels and the fund may own different proportions of the underlying affiliated funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the fund will vary. |
(i) | For Class R6, the period is from the class inception, August 29, 2016, through the stated period end. |
(l) | Recognition of net investment income by the fund may be affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests and for interim net investment income ratios, the actual annual net investment income ratio may differ. The ratios and per share amounts do not include net investment income of the underlying affiliated funds in which the fund invests. |
(n) | Not annualized. |
(r) | Certain expenses have been reduced without which performance would have been lower. |
(s) | From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower. |
(t) | Total returns do not include any applicable sales charges. |
(w) | Per share amount was less than $0.01. |
(x) | The net asset values and total returns have been calculated on net assets which include adjustments made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles required at period end for financial reporting purposes. |

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the funds financial performance for the semiannual period and the past 5 fiscal years (or life of a particular share class, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the fund share class (assuming reinvestment of all distributions) held for the entire period.

MFS Lifetime Income Fund, MFS Lifetime 2020 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2025 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2030 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2035 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2040 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2045 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2050 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2055 Fund, and MFS Lifetime 2060 Fund (the funds) are each a diversified series of MFS Series Trust XII (the trust). The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Each fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Investment Companies.
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
General The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of each funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued.
Each fund is a fund of funds, which invests the majority of its assets in other MFS mutual funds (hereafter referred to as
underlying affiliated funds or underlying funds), which may have different fiscal year ends than the funds. The underlying funds, in turn, may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Certain underlying funds invest their portfolio in high-yield securities rated below investment grade. Investments in below investment grade quality securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default or can already be in default, and their values can decline significantly. Below investment grade quality securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general, than higher quality debt instruments. Certain underlying funds invest a significant portion of their assets in asset-backed and/or mortgage-backed securities. For these securities, the value of the debt instrument also depends on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral as well as whether there is a security interest in the underlying assets or collateral. Enforcing rights, if any, against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult. U.S. Government securities not supported as to the payment of principal or interest by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are subject to greater credit risk than are U.S. Government securities supported by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Ginnie Mae. Certain underlying funds invest in foreign securities, including securities of emerging market issuers. Investments in foreign securities are vulnerable to the effects of changes in the relative values of the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the effects of changes in each countrys market, economic, industrial, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. Investments in emerging markets can involve additional and greater risks than the risks associated with investments in developed foreign markets. Emerging markets can have less developed markets, greater custody and operational risk, less developed legal, regulatory, and accounting systems, and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets.
The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which each fund invests are outlined in the underlying funds shareholder reports, which are available without charge by calling 1-800-225-2606, at mfs.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) web site at http://www.sec.gov. The underlying funds shareholder reports are not covered by this report.
Investment Valuations Open-end investment companies (underlying funds) are generally valued at their net asset value per share. The investments of underlying funds managed by the adviser are valued as described below. For purposes of this policy disclosure, fund also refers to the underlying funds in which the fund-of-funds invests.
Equity securities, including restricted equity securities and equity securities sold short, are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price on their primary market or exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Equity securities, for which there were no sales reported that day, are generally valued at the last quoted daily bid quotation on their primary market or exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Equity securities sold short, for which there were no sales reported for that day, are generally valued at the last quoted daily ask quotation on their primary market or exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Debt instruments and floating rate loans, including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Exchange-traded options for which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Options not traded on an exchange are generally valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Foreign currency options are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of bid and asked prices for the time

period interpolated from rates provided by a third-party pricing service for proximate time periods. Swap agreements are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service, which for cleared swaps includes an evaluation of any trading activity at the clearinghouses. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets, including commodity-linked structured notes, generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing service may also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. In determining values, third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. The values of foreign securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the mean of bid and asked prices for rates provided by a third-party pricing service.
The Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the funds investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Under the funds valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for most types of debt instruments and floating rate loans and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that an investments value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the funds net asset value, or after the halt of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. Events that occur after foreign markets close (such as developments in foreign markets and significant movements in the U.S. markets) and prior to the determination of the funds net asset value may be deemed to have a material effect on the value of securities traded in foreign markets. Accordingly, the funds foreign equity securities may often be valued at fair value. The adviser generally relies on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market 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 funds net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of an investment used to determine the funds net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that the fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which the fund determines its net asset value per share.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each funds assets or liabilities. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Each funds assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, and credit risk). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the advisers own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The following is a summary of the levels used as of October 31, 2019 in valuing each funds assets or liabilities:

For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Portfolio of Investments. Please refer to the underlying funds shareholder reports for further information regarding the levels used in valuing the underlying funds assets or liabilities.
Derivatives Each fund does not invest in derivatives directly. Each fund does invest in underlying funds that may use derivatives primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market or segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate or currency exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives are used for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the underlying funds use derivatives as an investment to increase market exposure, or for hedging purposes, gains and losses from derivative instruments may be substantially greater than the derivatives original cost.
Indemnifications Under each funds organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to each fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each funds maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each fund that have not yet occurred.
Investment Transactions and Income Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Distributions of income and capital gains from the underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Recognition of net investment income by each fund is affected by the timing of the declaration of distributions by the underlying funds in which each fund invests. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified cost basis.
Each fund and/or the underlying funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the fund or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations.
Tax Matters and Distributions Each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. Each funds federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed each funds tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future.

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest Each fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution, service, and program manager fees. For the MFS Lifetime Income Fund, income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. For the MFS Lifetime Income Fund, realized and unrealized gain (loss) are allocated to shareholders based on the daily net assets of each class. For all other funds, income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the daily net assets of each class. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Class B and Class 529B shares will convert to Class A and Class 529A shares, respectively, approximately eight years after

For Class R6 shares, the investment adviser has agreed to bear each funds expenses, or make payment to such fund, such that the Other Expenses of the class do not exceed (0.10)% annually of average daily net assets for the MFS Lifetime Income Fund and (0.14)% annually of average daily net assets for all other funds. These written agreements will continue until modified by the funds Board of Trustees, but such agreements will continue at least until August 31, 2020. Payments made to certain classes of the funds to further reduce Other Expenses below 0.00% annually of average daily net assets are included in Excess expense reimbursement from investment adviser in the Statements of Operations.

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees and a majority of the non-interested (independent) Trustees, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of the Funds investment advisory agreements with MFS. The Trustees consider matters bearing on the Funds and their advisory arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, the independent Trustees met several times over the course of three months beginning in May and ending in July, 2019 (contract review meetings) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds and the other investment companies that the Board oversees (the MFS Funds). The independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Funds investment advisory agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from MFS during various contract review meetings. The independent Trustees were also assisted in this process by the MFS Funds Independent Senior Officer, a senior officer appointed by and reporting to the independent Trustees.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the investment advisory agreements, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. The investment advisory agreements for the Funds were considered separately, although the Trustees also took into account the common interests of all MFS Funds in their review. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by MFS under the existing investment advisory agreements and other arrangements with the Funds.
In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials that included, among other items: (i) information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent third party, on the investment performance of the Funds for various time periods ended December 31, 2018 and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives (the Broadridge performance universe), (ii) information provided by Broadridge on the Funds fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of comparable funds identified by Broadridge as well as all other funds in the same investment classification/category (the Broadridge expense group and universe), (iii) information as to whether and to what extent applicable expense waivers and reimbursements are observed for the Funds, (iv) information regarding MFS financial results and financial condition, including MFS and certain of its affiliates estimated profitability from services performed for the Funds and the MFS Funds as a whole, and compared to MFS institutional business, (v) MFS views regarding the outlook for the mutual fund industry and the strategic business plans of MFS, (vi) descriptions of various functions performed by MFS for the Funds, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vii) information regarding the overall organization of MFS, including information about MFS senior management and other personnel providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Funds and the other MFS Funds. The comparative performance, fee and expense information prepared and provided by Broadridge was not independently verified and the independent Trustees did not independently verify any information provided to them by MFS.
The Trustees conclusion as to the continuation of the investment advisory agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the fee arrangements for the Funds and other MFS Funds are the result of years of review and discussion between the independent Trustees and MFS, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and that the Trustees conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years.
MFS Lifetime Income Fund
Based on information provided by Broadridge and MFS, the Trustees reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the Broadridge performance universe over various time periods. The Trustees placed particular emphasis on the total return performance of the Funds Class A shares in comparison to the performance of funds in its Broadridge performance universe over the five-year period ended December 31, 2018, which the Trustees believed was a long enough period to reflect differing market conditions. The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for this five-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 1st quintile for the one-year period and the 3rd quintile for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 relative to the Broadridge performance universe.
MFS Lifetime 2020 Fund
Based on information provided by Broadridge and MFS, the Trustees reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the Broadridge performance universe over various time periods. The Trustees placed particular emphasis on the total return performance of the Funds Class A shares in comparison to the performance of funds in its Broadridge performance universe over the five-year period ended December 31, 2018, which the Trustees believed was a long enough period to reflect differing market conditions. The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for this five-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 1st quintile for the one-year period and the 4th quintile for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 relative to the Broadridge performance universe.

The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 2nd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for this five-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 3rd quintile for the one-year period and the 1st quintile for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 relative to the Broadridge performance universe.

MFS Lifetime 2055 Fund
Based on information provided by Broadridge and MFS, the Trustees reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the Broadridge performance universe over various time periods. The Trustees placed particular emphasis on the total return performance of the Funds Class A shares in comparison to the performance of funds in its Broadridge performance universe over the five-year period ended December 31, 2018, which the Trustees believed was a long enough period to reflect differing market conditions.

MFS Lifetime 2060 Fund
Based on information provided by Broadridge and MFS, the Trustees reviewed the Funds total return investment performance as well as the Broadridge performance universe over the one-year period ended December 31, 2018. The total return performance of the Funds Class A shares was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for this one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The Fund commenced operations on December 6, 2016, and has a limited operating history and performance record; therefore no performance data for the three- or five-year periods was available.
General
Because of the passage of time, the performance results stated above may differ from the performance results for more recent periods, including those shown elsewhere in this report.
In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by MFS in connection with the contract review meetings, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Funds performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the investment advisory agreements, that they were satisfied with MFS responses and efforts relating to investment performance.
The Trustees considered that MFS does not charge any advisory fees for providing investment advisory services to the Funds, but that the Funds pay their pro rata share of the advisory fees paid by the underlying funds in which they invest (the Underlying Funds). The Trustees also considered that MFS currently observes an expense limitation for each Fund, which may not be changed without the Trustees approval.
In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds expenses, the Trustees considered, among other information, the total expense ratios of the Funds Class A shares as a percentage of average daily net assets and the total expense ratios of the Broadridge expense groups based on information provided by Broadridge. The Trustees also considered that, according to the data provided by Broadridge (which takes into account any expense limitations that were in effect during the Funds last fiscal year): (i) the total expense ratio for each of MFS Lifetime Income Fund, MFS Lifetime 2020 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2025 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2030 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2035 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2040 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2045 Fund, MFS Lifetime 2055 Fund, and MFS Lifetime 2060 was lower than the Broadridge expense group median, and (ii) the total expense ratio for MFS Lifetime 2050 Fund was approximately at the Broadridge expense group median. Because the Funds do not pay advisory fees, the Trustees did not consider the extent to which economies of scale would be realized due to the Funds growth of assets, whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the Funds shareholders, or the fees paid by similar funds to other investment advisers or by similar clients of MFS.
The Trustees also considered information prepared by MFS relating to MFS costs and profits with respect to the Funds, the MFS Funds considered as a group, and other investment companies and accounts advised by MFS, as well as MFS methodologies used to determine and allocate its costs to the MFS Funds, the Funds and other accounts and products for purposes of estimating profitability.
In addition, the Trustees considered MFS resources and related efforts to continue to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds. The Trustees also considered current and developing conditions in the financial services industry, including the presence of large and well-capitalized companies which are spending, and appear to be prepared to continue to spend, substantial sums to engage personnel and to provide services to competing investment companies. In this regard, the Trustees also considered the financial resources of MFS and its ultimate parent, Sun Life Financial Inc. The Trustees also considered the advantages and possible disadvantages to the Funds of having an adviser that also serves other investment companies as well as other accounts.
The Trustees also considered the nature, quality, cost, and extent of administrative, transfer agency, and distribution services provided to the Funds by MFS and its affiliates under agreements and plans other than the investment advisory agreements, including any 12b-1 fees the Funds pay to MFS Fund Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of MFS. The Trustees also considered the nature, extent and quality of certain other services MFS performs or arranges for on the Funds or the Underlying Funds behalf, which may include securities lending programs, directed expense payment programs, class action recovery programs, and MFS interaction with third-party service providers, principally custodians and sub-custodians. The Trustees concluded that the various non-advisory services provided by MFS and its affiliates on behalf of the Funds were satisfactory.
129
Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement continued
The Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to MFS such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager to the MFS Funds. The Trustees also considered that, effective January 3, 2018, MFS had discontinued its historic practice of obtaining investment research from portfolio brokerage commissions paid by certain MFS Funds and would thereafter directly pay for or voluntarily reimburse a Fund, if applicable, for the costs of external research acquired through the use of the Funds portfolio brokerage commissions.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds investment advisory agreements with MFS should be continued for an additional one-year period, commencing August 1, 2019.

INFORMATION ABOUT FUND CONTRACTS AND LEGAL CLAIMS
Each fund has entered into contractual arrangements with an investment adviser, administrator, distributor, shareholder servicing agent, 529 program manager (if applicable), and custodian who each provide services to the fund. Unless expressly stated otherwise, shareholders are not parties to, or intended beneficiaries of these contractual arrangements, and these contractual arrangements are not intended to create any shareholder right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the fund.
Under the Trusts By-Laws and Declaration of Trust, any claims asserted against or on behalf of the MFS Funds, including claims against Trustees and Officers, must be brought in state and federal courts located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
PROVISION OF FINANCIAL REPORTS AND SUMMARY PROSPECTUSES
Each fund produces financial reports every six months and updates its summary prospectus and prospectus annually. To avoid
sending duplicate copies of materials to households, only one copy of each funds annual and semiannual report and summary prospectus may be mailed to shareholders having the same last name and residential address on the funds records. However, any shareholder may contact MFSC (please see back cover for address and telephone number) to request that copies of these reports and summary prospectuses be sent personally to that shareholder.
