Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the fund’s 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 fund’s 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.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

 

LOGO

Dear Shareholders:

During the first quarter of 2020, equity prices experienced their fastest 30% fall in history and market volatility reached levels not seen since the global financial crisis. Optimism heading into the year — on receding trade and geopolitical risk along with easier central bank policies — was overwhelmed in February as the health effects of a novel coronavirus, COVID-19, spread beyond China’s borders, ultimately impacting more than 187 countries. The global pandemic prompted many governments to take drastic action to slow the spread of the virus, such as quarantines, school and business closures, and prohibitions on public gatherings. While these were important steps to protect the public health, they came at a cost: greater market volatility and an abrupt downturn in economic growth.

Global central banks have taken aggressive, coordinated steps to cushion the economic and market fallout related to the virus, and governments are undertaking unprecedented levels of fiscal stimulus. As uncertainty recedes, these measures can help build a supportive environment and encourage economic recovery. In the aftermath of the crisis, there are likely to be societal changes as households, businesses, and governments adjust to a new reality, and these alterations could change the investment landscape. Occurrences such as the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrate the importance of having a deep understanding of company fundamentals, and our global research platform has been built to do just that.

Here at MFS®, we aim to help our clients navigate the growing complexity of the markets and world economies. Our long-term investment philosophy and commitment to the responsible allocation of capital allow us to tune out the noise and uncover what we believe are the best, most durable investment opportunities in the market. Through our powerful global investment platform, we combine collective expertise, thoughtful risk management, and long-term discipline to create sustainable value for investors.

Respectfully,

(a)

For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies.

(d)

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.

(i)

For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.

(j)

For the purpose of managing the fund’s duration, the fund holds treasury futures with a bond equivalent exposure of (3.0)%, which impacts the fund’s interest rate exposure but not its credit exposure.

(m)

In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

(o)

Less than 0.1%.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions.

Percentages are based on net assets as of March 31, 2020.

The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

(a)

For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies.

(d)

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.

(i)

For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.

(j)

For the purpose of managing the fund’s duration, the fund holds treasury futures with a bond equivalent exposure of (2.0)%, which impacts the fund’s interest rate exposure but not its credit exposure.

(m)

In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions.

Percentages are based on net assets as of March 31, 2020.

The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2020, Class A shares, at net asset value, of the municipal bond funds of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland and Massachusetts underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The performance for the individual funds and the benchmark are set forth in the Performance Summary.

Market Environment

Market volatility soared at the end of the period as COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus first detected in China, spread around the world in early 2020. Government-imposed social distancing measures taken to slow the spread of the virus forced the shutdown of large portions of the global economy. In an attempt to limit the economic fallout from the crisis, central bankers and policymakers took a variety of actions, unprecedented in both size and speed, but despite their best efforts, a global recession has undoubtedly begun. Given the unique circumstances surrounding the genesis of the downturn, it is difficult to forecast how long the crisis will linger.

High levels of investor uncertainty saw equity prices plunge, market volatility rise and large segments of global fixed income markets freeze as investors sought liquidity wherever they could find it. Central banks around the world quickly put programs in place to improve liquidity, and they proved largely successful, helping to recover market function and ease volatility at the end of the period. Compounding market turmoil was an oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia over the size of production cuts amid a burgeoning supply glut as the global economy rapidly slowed. That action undercut oil exporters, many emerging markets and a large segment of the high-yield credit market.

As is often the case in a serious crisis, market vulnerabilities were revealed. For example, companies that added significant leverage to their balance sheets in recent years by borrowing to fund dividend payments and stock buybacks may find it difficult to follow that path in the future, and investors may not reward that behavior if they do. Very long supply chains designed to squeeze out every bit of savings may be shifted closer to home markets if companies seek to emphasize resiliency over cost after a series of supply disruptions. Consumer, business and government behavior could all be impacted by the after-effects of the global pandemic in ways it will be difficult to forecast.

Over the past year, municipal bonds delivered modest positive performance, fueled by lower US Treasury rates and supportive fundamentals and technicals for most of the period. Longer-duration and higher-quality segments of the market outperformed. Each sector produced modest positive performance, with sectors perceived as higher quality outperforming. The favorable backdrop for municipals changed abruptly in March, impacted by the economic slowdown associated with limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The revenues of municipalities were, and continue to be, affected by both declining tax receipts and the increased costs brought on by the response to the outbreak. The fundamentals of many sectors will be impacted by the slowdown. Federal assistance will help in the effort to meet the challenges; however, the selection of sectors and issuers will likely increase in importance over the coming months.

Factors Affecting Performance

In all funds, an out-of-benchmark exposure to non-rated (r) securities weighed on performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The combination of security selection and a greater exposure to Puerto Rican bonds further held back relative performance across all funds.

In contrast, bond selection within the health care sector across all funds, with the exception of the municipal bond fund of Massachusetts, benefited relative performance. Security selection within “AA” and “BBB” rated securities in the municipal bond funds of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Maryland, also aided relative results. Yield curve positioning (y), particularly a greater exposure to shifts in the long end of the yield curve, was another area of relative strength for all funds.

Respectfully,

Portfolio Manager(s)

Michael Dawson

 

(r)

Bonds rated “BBB”, “Baa”, or higher are considered investment grade; bonds rated “BB”, “Ba”, or below are considered non-investment grade. The sources for bond quality ratings are Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. and are applied using the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). For securities which are not rated by any of the three agencies, the security is considered Not Rated.

(y)

A yield curve graphically depicts the yields of different maturity bonds of the same credit quality and type; a normal yield curve is upward sloping, with short-term rates lower than long-term rates.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/20

The following charts illustrate a representative class of each fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Each fund's results have been compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the tax-exempt bond market. However, while this index is considered the benchmark for the performance of municipal bond funds, it is comprised of municipal bonds issued within the 50 states and the District of Columbia as well as U.S. territories and possessions such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, while each of the funds invests a large percentage of its assets in municipal issuers of the state that is in the fund’s name. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

EXPENSE TABLES

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020

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 management fees; 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.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.

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 fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each fund’s 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1)   Business and Organization

MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund (Alabama Fund), MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund (Arkansas Fund), MFS California Municipal Bond Fund (California Fund), MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund (Georgia Fund), MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund (Maryland Fund), and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund (Massachusetts Fund) are each a diversified series of MFS Municipal Series Trust which 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 fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. Each fund invests primarily in municipal instruments, which generally trade in the over-the-counter market. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of, and the ability to pay principal and interest when due by, an issuer of a municipal instrument depends on the credit quality of the entity supporting the municipal instrument, how essential any services supported by the municipal instrument are, the sufficiency of any revenues or taxes that support the municipal instrument, and/or the willingness or ability of the appropriate government entity to approve any appropriations necessary to support the municipal instrument. Municipal instruments may be supported by insurance which typically guarantees the timely payment of all principal and interest due on the underlying municipal instrument. The value of a municipal instrument can be volatile and significantly affected by adverse tax changes or court rulings, legislative or political changes, changes in specific or general market and economic conditions in the region or state where the instrument is issued, and the financial condition of municipal issuers and of municipal instrument insurers of which there are a limited number. Also, because many municipal instruments are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in certain industries can significantly affect the funds and the overall municipal market. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the funds could be taxable to shareholders.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other IBOR-based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities purchased at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The funds adopted ASU 2017-08 as of the beginning of the reporting period on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since each fund had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. As a result of the adoption, each fund recognized a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the beginning of period cost of investments and increased the unrealized appreciation on investments by the amounts noted in the table below:

 

Alabama Fund      $458,025  
Arkansas Fund      1,815,043  
California Fund      2,794,689  
Georgia Fund      688,937  
Maryland Fund      900,281  
Massachusetts Fund      1,524,830  

Adoption had no impact on each fund’s net assets or any prior period information presented in the financial statements. With respect to each fund’s results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date under ASU 2017-08 accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.

Balance Sheet Offsetting – Each fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master

Agreement, or similar agreement, does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between each fund and the applicable counterparty. Each fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to each fund, have been included in each fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.

Investment Valuations – 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. 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. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets 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 Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of each fund’s 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 each fund’s 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 investment’s 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 each fund’s 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. 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 each fund’s 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 each fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that each fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which each fund determines its net asset value per share.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s 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 investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Each fund’s 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 adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures contracts. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2020 in valuing each fund’s assets or liabilities:

Derivatives – The funds 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 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 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 derivative’s original cost.

The derivative instruments used by the funds during the period were futures contracts. Depending on the type of derivative, the fund may exit a derivative position by entering into an offsetting transaction with a counterparty or exchange, negotiating an agreement with the derivative counterparty, or novating the position to a third party. The funds may be unable to promptly close out a futures position in instances where the daily fluctuation in the price for that type of future exceeds the daily limit set by the exchange. The funds’ period end derivatives, as presented in the Portfolio of Investments and the associated Derivative Contract tables, generally are indicative of the volume of the funds’ derivative activity during the period.

The following table presents, by major type of derivative contract, the fair value, on a gross basis, of the asset and liability components of derivatives held by the funds at March 31, 2020 as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain, but not all, uncleared derivatives, each fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk whenever possible by entering into an ISDA Master Agreement on a bilateral basis. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a specified deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each agreement to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of each fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by each fund under the applicable transactions, if any.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. For cleared derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-traded options), margin requirements are set by the clearing broker and the clearing house and collateral, in the form of cash or securities, is posted by the fund directly with the clearing broker. Collateral terms are counterparty agreement specific for uncleared derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and uncleared options) and collateral, in the form of cash and securities, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian in connection with these agreements. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, which contains a collateral support annex, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such counterparty-specific agreement and an amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash that has been segregated or delivered to cover each fund’s collateral or margin obligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as restricted cash for uncleared derivatives and/or deposits with brokers for cleared derivatives. Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. The funds may be required to make payments of interest on uncovered collateral or margin obligations with the broker. Any such payments are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts – The funds entered into futures contracts which may be used to hedge against or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, or to manage duration. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a specified percentage of the notional amount of the contract. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss by the fund until the contract is closed or expires at which point the gain or loss on futures contracts is realized.

The fund bears the risk of interest rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. While futures contracts may present less counterparty risk to the fund since the contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees payments to the broker, there is still counterparty credit risk due to the insolvency of the broker. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is equal to the margin posted by the fund to the broker plus any gains or minus any losses on the outstanding futures contracts.

Indemnifications – Under each fund’s 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 fund’s 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. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.

Each fund 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.

Fees Paid Indirectly – Each fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by each fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2020, is shown as a reduction of total expenses 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 and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. Each fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed each fund’s 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.

Book/tax differences primarily relate to defaulted bonds, amortization and accretion of debt securities, and derivative transactions, as applicable to each fund.

The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last two fiscal years is as follows:

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – Each fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Each fund’s income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. Each fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) 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 shares will convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares will convert to Class A shares approximately ten years after purchase. Each fund’s distributions declared to shareholders as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are presented by class as follows:

Investment Adviser – Each fund has an investment advisory agreement with MFS to provide overall investment management and related administrative services and facilities to each fund.

(6)   Line of Credit

Each fund and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.25 billion unsecured committed line of credit, subject to a $1 billion sublimit, provided by a syndicate of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the highest of one month LIBOR, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus an agreed upon spread. A commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds. In addition, each fund and other funds managed by MFS have established unsecured uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks for temporary

(8)   Impacts of COVID-19

The pandemic related to the global spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was first detected in December 2019, has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity and the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the securities and commodities markets in general. This pandemic, the full effects of which are still unknown, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may have adversely impacted the prices and liquidity of each fund’s investments and each fund’s performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of MFS Municipal Series Trust and the Shareholders of MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund, MFS California Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund, MFS California Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund (the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of March 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

 

LOGO

Dear Shareholders:

During the first quarter of 2020, equity prices experienced their fastest 30% fall in history and market volatility reached levels not seen since the global financial crisis. Optimism heading into the year — on receding trade and geopolitical risk along with easier central bank policies — was overwhelmed in February as the health effects of a novel coronavirus, COVID-19, spread beyond China’s borders, ultimately impacting more than 187 countries. The global pandemic prompted many governments to take drastic action to slow the spread of the virus, such as quarantines, school and business closures, and prohibitions on public gatherings. While these were important steps to protect the public health, they came at a cost: greater market volatility and an abrupt downturn in economic growth.

Global central banks have taken aggressive, coordinated steps to cushion the economic and market fallout related to the virus, and governments are undertaking unprecedented levels of fiscal stimulus. As uncertainty recedes, these measures can help build a supportive environment and encourage economic recovery. In the aftermath of the crisis, there are likely to be societal changes as households, businesses, and governments adjust to a new reality, and these alterations could change the investment landscape. Occurrences such as the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrate the importance of having a deep understanding of company fundamentals, and our global research platform has been built to do just that.

Here at MFS®, we aim to help our clients navigate the growing complexity of the markets and world economies. Our long-term investment philosophy and commitment to the responsible allocation of capital allow us to tune out the noise and uncover what we believe are the best, most durable investment opportunities in the market. Through our powerful global investment platform, we combine collective expertise, thoughtful risk management, and long-term discipline to create sustainable value for investors.

Respectfully,

(a)

For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies.

(d)

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.

(i)

For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.

(j)

For the purpose of managing the fund’s duration, the fund holds treasury futures with a bond equivalent exposure of (2.0)%, which impacts the fund’s interest rate exposure but not its credit exposure.

(m)

In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions.

Percentages are based on net assets as of March 31, 2020.

The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

(a)

For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies.

(d)

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.

(i)

For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.

(j)

For the purpose of managing the fund’s duration, the fund holds treasury futures with a bond equivalent exposure of (1.7)%, which impacts the fund’s interest rate exposure but not its credit exposure.

(m)

In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions.

Percentages are based on net assets as of March 31, 2020.

The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2020, Class A shares, at net asset value, of the municipal bond funds of Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The performance for the individual funds and the benchmark are set forth in the Performance Summary.

Market Environment

Market volatility soared at the end of the period as COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus first detected in China, spread around the world in early 2020. Government-imposed social distancing measures taken to slow the spread of the virus forced the shutdown of large portions of the global economy. In an attempt to limit the economic fallout from the crisis, central bankers and policymakers took a variety of actions, unprecedented in both size and speed, but despite their best efforts, a global recession has undoubtedly begun. Given the unique circumstances surrounding the genesis of the downturn, it is difficult to forecast how long the crisis will linger.

High levels of investor uncertainty saw equity prices plunge, market volatility rise and large segments of global fixed income markets freeze as investors sought liquidity wherever they could find it. Central banks around the world quickly put programs in place to improve liquidity, and they proved largely successful, helping to recover market function and ease volatility at the end of the period. Compounding market turmoil was an oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia over the size of production cuts amid a burgeoning supply glut as the global economy rapidly slowed. That action undercut oil exporters, many emerging markets and a large segment of the high-yield credit market.

As is often the case in a serious crisis, market vulnerabilities were revealed. For example, companies that added significant leverage to their balance sheets in recent years by borrowing to fund dividend payments and stock buybacks may find it difficult to follow that path in the future, and investors may not reward that behavior if they do. Very long supply chains designed to squeeze out every bit of savings may be shifted closer to home markets if companies seek to emphasize resiliency over cost after a series of supply disruptions. Consumer, business and government behavior could all be impacted by the after-effects of the global pandemic in ways it will be difficult to forecast.

Over the past year, municipal bonds delivered modest positive performance, fueled by lower US Treasury rates and supportive fundamentals and technicals for most of the period. Longer-duration and higher-quality segments of the market outperformed. Each sector produced modest positive performance, with sectors perceived as higher quality outperforming. The favorable backdrop for municipals changed abruptly in March, impacted by the economic slowdown associated with limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The revenues of municipalities were, and continue to be, affected by both declining tax receipts and the increased costs brought on by the response to the outbreak. The fundamentals of many sectors will be impacted by the slowdown. Federal assistance will help in the effort to meet the challenges; however, the selection of sectors and issuers will likely increase in importance over the coming months.

Factors Affecting Performance

In all funds, an out-of-benchmark exposure to non-rated (r) securities weighed on performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The combination of security selection and a greater exposure to Puerto Rican bonds further held back relative performance across all funds.

In contrast, bond selection within the health care sector across all funds, and within the leasing sector in all funds, with the exception of the municipal bond funds of New York and Tennessee, benefited relative performance. Security selection within “AA” rated securities in all funds, with the exception of the municipal bond fund of New York, also aided relative results. Yield curve positioning (y), particularly a greater exposure to shifts in the long end of the yield curve, was another area of relative strength for all funds.

Respectfully,

Portfolio Manager(s)

Michael Dawson

 

(r)

Bonds rated “BBB”, “Baa”, or higher are considered investment grade; bonds rated “BB”, “Ba”, or below are considered non-investment grade. The sources for bond quality ratings are Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. and are applied using the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). For securities which are not rated by any of the three agencies, the security is considered Not Rated.

(y)

A yield curve graphically depicts the yields of different maturity bonds of the same credit quality and type; a normal yield curve is upward sloping, with short-term rates lower than long-term rates.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/20

The following charts illustrate a representative class of each fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Each fund’s results have been compared to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the tax-exempt bond market. However, while this index is considered the benchmark for the performance of municipal bond funds, it is comprised of municipal bonds issued within the 50 states and the District of Columbia as well as U.S. territories and possessions such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, while each of the funds invests a large percentage of its assets in municipal issuers of the state that is in the fund’s name. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

from the class inception date to the stated period end date. As the fund’s share classes may have different inception dates, the life returns may represent different time periods and may not be comparable. As a result, no comparative benchmark performance information is provided for life periods.

Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers each fund’s performance results would be less favorable. Please see the prospectus and financial statements for complete details.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the financial highlights.

A portion of income may be subject to state, federal, and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to a capital gains tax.

From time to time the funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower.

EXPENSE TABLES

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020

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 management fees; 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.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.

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 fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each fund’s 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.

Notes to Expense Table

For the MFS North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, each class with a Rule 12b-1 service fee is subject to a rebate of a portion of such fee. Such rebates are included in the expense ratios above and are outside of the expense limitation arrangement. For Class A shares, this rebate reduced the expense ratio above by 0.01%. See Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1)   Business and Organization

MFS Mississippi Municipal Bond Fund (Mississippi Fund), MFS New York Municipal Bond Fund (New York Fund), MFS North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund (North Carolina Fund), MFS Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund (Pennsylvania Fund), MFS South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund (South Carolina Fund), MFS Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund (Tennessee Fund), MFS Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (Virginia Fund), and MFS West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (West Virginia Fund) are each a diversified series of MFS Municipal Series Trust (with the exception of Mississippi Fund and West Virginia Fund which are non-diversified) which 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 fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. Each fund invests primarily in municipal instruments, which generally trade in the over-the-counter market. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of, and the ability to pay principal and interest when due by, an issuer of a municipal instrument depends on the credit quality of the entity supporting the municipal instrument, how essential any services supported by the municipal instrument are, the sufficiency of any revenues or taxes that support the municipal instrument, and/or the willingness or ability of the appropriate government entity to approve any appropriations necessary to support the municipal instrument. Municipal instruments may be supported by insurance which typically guarantees the timely payment of all principal and interest due on the underlying municipal instrument. The value of a municipal instrument can be volatile and significantly affected by adverse tax changes or court rulings, legislative or political changes, changes in specific or general market and economic conditions in the region where the instrument is issued, and the financial condition of municipal issuers and of municipal instrument insurers of which there are a limited number. Also, because many municipal instruments are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in certain industries can significantly affect the funds and the overall municipal market. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the funds could be taxable to shareholders.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other IBOR-based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities purchased at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The funds adopted ASU 2017-08 as of the beginning of the reporting period on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since each fund had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. As a result of the adoption, each fund recognized a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the beginning of period cost of investments and increased the unrealized appreciation on investments by the amounts noted in the table below:

 

Mississippi Fund      $590,012  
New York Fund      1,794,102  
North Carolina Fund      3,464,323  
Pennsylvania Fund      823,324  
South Carolina Fund      1,808,508  
Tennessee Fund      719,997  
Virginia Fund      2,584,342  
West Virginia Fund      1,105,184

With respect to each fund’s results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date under ASU 2017-08 accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.

Balance Sheet Offsetting – Each fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement, or similar agreement, does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between each fund and the applicable counterparty. Each fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to each fund, have been included in each fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.

Investment Valuations – 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. 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. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets 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 Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of each fund’s 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 each fund’s 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 investment’s 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 each fund’s 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. 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 each fund’s 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 each fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that each fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which each fund determines its net asset value per share.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s 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 investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Each fund’s 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 adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures contracts. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2020 in valuing each fund’s assets or liabilities:

Derivatives – Certain funds 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 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 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 derivative’s original cost.

The derivative instruments used by the funds during the period were futures contracts. Depending on the type of derivative, the fund may exit a derivative position by entering into an offsetting transaction with a counterparty or exchange, negotiating an agreement with the derivative counterparty, or novating the position to a third party. The funds may be unable to promptly close out a futures position in instances where the daily fluctuation in the price for that type of future exceeds the daily limit set by the exchange. The funds’ period end derivatives, as presented in the Portfolio of Investments and the associated Derivative Contract tables, generally are indicative of the volume of its derivative activity during the period.

The following table presents, by major type of derivative contract, the fair value, on a gross basis, of the asset and liability components of derivatives held by the funds at March 31, 2020 as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain, but not all, uncleared derivatives, each fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk whenever possible by entering into an ISDA Master Agreement on a bilateral basis. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a specified deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each agreement to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of each fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by each fund under the applicable transactions, if any.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. For cleared derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-traded options), margin requirements are set by the clearing broker and the clearing house and collateral, in the form of cash or securities, is posted by the fund directly with the clearing broker. Collateral terms are counterparty agreement specific for uncleared derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and uncleared options) and collateral, in the form of cash and securities, is held in segregated accounts with the fund’s custodian in connection with these agreements. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, which contains a collateral support annex, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such counterparty-specific agreement and an amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash that has been segregated or delivered to cover each fund’s collateral or margin obligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as restricted cash for uncleared derivatives and/or deposits with brokers for cleared derivatives. Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. The funds may be required to make payments of interest on uncovered collateral or margin obligations with the broker. Any such payments are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts – Certain funds entered into futures contracts which may be used to hedge against or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, or to manage duration. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a specified percentage of the notional amount of the contract. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss by the fund until the contract is closed or expires at which point the gain or loss on futures contracts is realized.

The fund bears the risk of interest rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. While futures contracts may present less counterparty risk to the fund since the contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees payments to the broker, there is still counterparty credit risk due to the insolvency of the broker. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is equal to the margin posted by the fund to the broker plus any gains or minus any losses on the outstanding futures contracts.

Inverse Floaters – The Virginia Fund invests in municipal inverse floating rate securities which are structured by the issuer (known as primary market inverse floating rate securities) or by the Virginia Fund utilizing the fund’s municipal bonds which have already been issued (known as self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate securities) to have variable rates of interest which typically move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates. A self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate security is created when the Virginia Fund transfers a fixed rate municipal bond to a special purpose trust, and causes the trust to (a) issue floating rate certificates to third parties, in an amount equal to a fraction of the par amount of the deposited bonds (these certificates usually pay tax-exempt interest at short-term interest rates that typically reset weekly; and the certificate holders typically, on seven days notice, have the option to tender their certificates to the trust or another party for redemption at par plus accrued interest), and (b) issue inverse floating rate certificates (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”) which are held by the Virginia Fund. Such self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Virginia Fund are accounted for as secured borrowings, with the municipal bonds reflected in the investments of the Virginia Fund and amounts owed to the holders of the floating rate certificates under the provisions of the trust, which amounts are paid solely from the assets of the trust, reflected as liabilities of the Virginia Fund in its Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption, “Payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates”. The carrying value of the Virginia Fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates as reported in the Virginia Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The value of the payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates as of the reporting date is considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy disclosure. At March 31, 2020, the Virginia Fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates was $5,000,101 and the weighted average interest rate on the settled floating rate certificates issued by the trust was 4.76%. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the average payable to the holders of the settled floating rate certificates was $5,001,347 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.72%. Interest expense and fees include interest payments made to the holders of certain floating rate certificates and associated fees, both of which are made from trust assets. Interest expense and fees are

recorded as incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2020, interest expense and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters amounted to $105,940 and are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statements of Operations.

Indemnifications – Under each fund’s 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 fund’s 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. Some securities may be purchased or sold on an extended settlement basis which includes “when-issued”, “delayed delivery” or “To Be Announced” (TBA) securities. For extended settlement transactions, the receipt or delivery of the securities by the fund and related payments occur at a future date, usually beyond the customary settlement time. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.

Each fund 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.

Certain funds purchased or sold debt securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, or in a “To Be Announced” (TBA) or “forward commitment” transaction with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. When the fund sells securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, TBA, or forward commitment basis, the fund typically owns or has the right to acquire securities equivalent in kind and amount to the delivered securities. At the time a fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security acquired or sold is reflected in the fund’s net asset value. The price of such security and the date that the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. When-issued investments purchased are held at carrying amount, which approximates fair value and are categorized as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and included in Investments purchased or sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. No interest accrues to the fund until payment takes place. At the time that a fund enters into this type of transaction, the fund is required to have sufficient cash and/or liquid securities to cover its commitments. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities prior to settlement date or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors.

Fees Paid Indirectly – Each fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by each fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2020, is shown as a reduction of total expenses 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 and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. Each fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed each fund’s 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.

Book/tax differences primarily relate to defaulted bonds, amortization and accretion of debt securities, and derivative transactions, as applicable to each fund.

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – Each fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Each fund’s income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. Each fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) 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

Investment Adviser – Each fund has an investment advisory agreement with MFS to provide overall investment management and related administrative services and facilities to each fund. The management fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.45% of each fund’s average daily net assets.

MFS has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee by a specified amount if certain MFS mutual fund assets exceed thresholds agreed to by MFS and the funds’ Board of Trustees. For the year ended March 31, 2020, these management fee reductions amounted to the following, which are included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations:

The management fee incurred for the year ended March 31, 2020 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.44% of each fund’s average daily net assets.

The investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay a portion of the following funds’ total annual operating expenses, excluding interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage and transaction costs, and investment-related expenses (including interest expense and fees associated with investments in inverse floating rate instruments), such that total fund operating expenses do not exceed the following rates annually of these funds’ average daily net assets:

For the year ended March 31, 2020, the New York Fund’s actual operating expenses did not exceed the limits described above and therefore, the investment adviser did not pay any portion of the fund’s expenses related to these agreements. For the year ended March 31, 2020, these reductions amounted to the following for the South Carolina Fund, the Virginia Fund, and the West Virginia Fund and are included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations:

Trustees’ and Officers’ Compensation – Each fund pays compensation to independent Trustees in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to Board and Committee chairpersons. Each fund does not pay compensation directly to Trustees or officers of each fund who are also officers of the investment adviser, all of whom receive remuneration from MFS for their services to each fund. Certain officers and Trustees of each fund are officers or directors of MFS, MFD, and MFSC.

Prior to December 31, 2001, each fund had an unfunded defined benefit plan (“DB plan”) for independent Trustees. As of December 31, 2001, the Board took action to terminate the DB plan with respect to then-current and any future independent Trustees, such that the DB plan covers only certain of those former independent Trustees who retired on or before December 31, 2001. Effective June 30, 2019, the Mississippi Fund, the New York Fund, the Pennsylvania Fund, and the Tennessee Fund no longer participate in the DB plan.The DB plan resulted in a pension expense for the following funds. These amounts are included in “Independent Trustees’ compensation” in the Statements of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2020:

Other – These funds and certain other funds managed by MFS (the funds) had entered into a service agreement (the ISO Agreement) which provided for payment of fees solely by the funds to Tarantino LLC in return for the provision of services of an Independent Senior Officer (ISO) for the funds. Frank L. Tarantino served as the ISO and was an officer of the funds and the sole member of Tarantino LLC. Effective June 30, 2019, Mr. Tarantino retired from his position as ISO for the funds, and the ISO Agreement was terminated. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the fee paid by each fund under this agreement amounted to the following and is included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations:

MFS had agreed to bear all expenses associated with office space, other administrative support, and supplies provided to the ISO.

Each fund invests in the MFS Institutional Money Market Portfolio which is managed by MFS and seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. This money market fund does not pay a management fee to MFS but does incur investment and operating costs.

Each fund is permitted to engage in purchase and sale transactions with funds and accounts for which MFS serves as investment adviser or sub-adviser (“cross-trades”) pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees. This policy has been designed to

(6)   Line of Credit

Each fund and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.25 billion unsecured committed line of credit, subject to a $1 billion sublimit, provided by a syndicate of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the highest of one month LIBOR, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus an agreed upon spread. A commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds. In addition, each fund and other funds managed by MFS have established unsecured uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at rates equal to customary reference rates plus an agreed upon spread. For the year ended March 31, 2020, each fund’s commitment fee and interest expense were as follows and are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations, with the exception of the Virginia Fund, whose commitment fee and interest expense are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statements of Operations.

(8)   Impacts of COVID-19

The pandemic related to the global spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was first detected in December 2019, has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity and the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the securities and commodities markets in general. This pandemic, the full effects of which are still unknown, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may have adversely impacted the prices and liquidity of each fund’s investments and each fund’s performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of MFS Municipal Series Trust and the Shareholders of MFS Mississippi Municipal Bond Fund, MFS New York Municipal Bond Fund, MFS North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, MFS South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Virginia Municipal Bond Fund and MFS West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of MFS Mississippi Municipal Bond Fund, MFS New York Municipal Bond Fund, MFS North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, MFS South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Virginia Municipal Bond Fund and MFS West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of March 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

 

Dear Shareholders:

During the first quarter of 2020, equity prices experienced their fastest 30% fall in history and market volatility reached levels not seen since the global financial crisis.

Optimism heading into the year — on receding trade and geopolitical risk along with easier central bank policies — was overwhelmed in February as the health effects of a novel coronavirus, COVID-19, spread beyond China’s borders, ultimately impacting more than 187 countries. The global pandemic prompted many governments to take drastic action to slow the spread of the virus, such as quarantines, school and business closures, and prohibitions on public gatherings. While these were important steps to protect the public health, they came at a cost: greater market volatility and an abrupt downturn in economic growth.

Global central banks have taken aggressive, coordinated steps to cushion the economic and market fallout related to the virus, and governments are undertaking unprecedented levels of fiscal stimulus. As uncertainty recedes, these measures can help build a supportive environment and encourage economic recovery. In the aftermath of the crisis, there are likely to be societal changes as households, businesses, and governments adjust to a new reality, and these alterations could change the investment landscape. Occurrences such as the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrate the importance of having a deep understanding of company fundamentals, and our global research platform has been built to do just that.

Here at MFS®, we aim to help our clients navigate the growing complexity of the markets and world economies. Our long-term investment philosophy and commitment to the responsible allocation of capital allow us to tune out the noise and uncover what we believe are the best, most durable investment opportunities in the market. Through our powerful global investment platform, we combine collective expertise, thoughtful risk management, and long-term discipline to create sustainable value for investors.

Respectfully,

For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies.

(d)

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move.

Portfolio Composition – continued

 

(i)

For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.

(m)

In determining each instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity.

Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.

Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions and/or the leverage created through the issuance of self-deposited inverse floaters and may be negative.

Percentages are based on net assets as of March 31, 2020.

The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2020, Class A shares of the MFS Municipal Income Fund (fund) provided a total return of 1.88%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 3.85% for the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index.

Market Environment

Market volatility soared at the end of the period as COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus first detected in China, spread around the world in early 2020. Government-imposed social distancing measures taken to slow the spread of the virus forced the shutdown of large portions of the global economy. In an attempt to limit the economic fallout from the crisis, central bankers and policymakers took a variety of actions, unprecedented in both size and speed, but despite their best efforts, a global recession has undoubtedly begun. Given the unique circumstances surrounding the genesis of the downturn, it is difficult to forecast how long the crisis will linger.

High levels of investor uncertainty saw equity prices plunge, market volatility rise and large segments of global fixed income markets freeze as investors sought liquidity wherever they could find it. Central banks around the world quickly put programs in place to improve liquidity, and they proved largely successful, helping to recover market function and ease volatility at the end of the period. Compounding market turmoil was an oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia over the size of production cuts amid a burgeoning supply glut as the global economy rapidly slowed. That action undercut oil exporters, many emerging markets and a large segment of the high-yield credit market.

As is often the case in a serious crisis, market vulnerabilities were revealed. For example, companies that added significant leverage to their balance sheets in recent years by borrowing to fund dividend payments and stock buybacks may find it difficult to follow that path in the future, and investors may not reward that behavior if they do. Very long supply chains designed to squeeze out every bit of savings may be shifted closer to home markets if companies seek to emphasize resiliency over cost after a series of supply disruptions. Consumer, business and government behavior could all be impacted by the after-effects of the global pandemic in ways it will be difficult to forecast.

Over the past year, municipal bonds delivered modest positive performance, fueled by lower US Treasury rates and supportive fundamentals and technicals for most of the period. Longer-duration and higher-quality segments of the market outperformed. Each sector produced modest positive performance, with sectors perceived as higher quality outperforming. The favorable backdrop for municipals changed abruptly in March, impacted by the economic slowdown associated with limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The revenues of municipalities were, and continue to be, affected by both declining tax receipts and the increased costs brought on by the response to the outbreak. The fundamentals of many sectors will be impacted by the slowdown. Federal assistance will help in the effort to meet the challenges; however, the selection of sectors and issuers will likely increase in importance over the coming months.

Management Review – continued

 

Factors Affecting Performance

Relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, the fund’s asset allocation was the largest detractor from relative performance. Specifically, from a sector perspective, a greater-than-benchmark exposure to the industrial revenue sector weakened relative returns. From a quality perspective, an out-of-benchmark exposure to non-rated and BB rated (r) bonds, and a greater exposure to BBB rated bonds, weighed on relative results. Security selection within AA rated bonds also dampened relative returns.

In contrast, the fund’s longer duration (d) stance contributed to relative performance as interest rates generally fell throughout the reporting period. The fund’s yield curve (y) positioning also strengthened relative performance. Although bond yields generally declined across all maturities, it was the fund’s greater exposure to longer-dated maturities that benefited relative performance during the reporting period.

Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value.

(r)

Bonds rated BBB, Baa, or higher are considered investment grade; bonds rated BB”, “Ba, or below are considered non-investment grade. The sources for bond quality ratings are Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. and are applied using the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). For securities which are not rated by any of the three agencies, the security is considered Not Rated.

(y)

A yield curve graphically depicts the yields of different maturity bonds of the same credit quality and type; a normal yield curve is upward sloping, with short-term rates lower than long-term rates.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/20

The following chart illustrates a representative class of the fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Notes to Performance Summary

Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value for each share class for the periods presented. Life returns are presented where the share class has less than 10 years of performance history and represent the average annual total return from the class inception date to the stated period end date. As the fund’s share classes may have different inception dates, the life returns may represent different time periods and may not be comparable. As a result, no comparative benchmark performance information is provided for life periods.

Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers the fund’s performance results would be less favorable. Please see the prospectus and financial statements for complete details.

Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the financial highlights.

A portion of income may be subject to state, federal, and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to a capital gains tax.

From time to time the fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower.

EXPENSE TABLE

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the following table 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 table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s 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 the 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 table 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 table 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.

(h)

5% class return per year before expenses.

(p)

“Expenses Paid During Period” are equal to each class’s annualized expense ratio, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses paid do not include any applicable sales charges (loads). If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Expense Table

Expense ratios include 0.04% of investment related expenses from self-deposited inverse floaters (See Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements) that are outside of the expense limitation arrangement (See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the fund’s financial performance for the past 5 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Business and Organization

MFS Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a diversified series of MFS Municipal Series Trust which 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.

The 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 the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. The fund invests primarily in municipal instruments, which generally trade in the over-the-counter market. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of, and the ability to pay principal and interest when due by, an issuer of a municipal instrument depends on the credit quality of the entity supporting the municipal instrument, how essential any services supported by the municipal instrument are, the sufficiency of any revenues or taxes that support the municipal instrument, and/or the willingness or ability of the appropriate government entity to approve any appropriations necessary to support the municipal instrument. Municipal instruments may be supported by insurance which typically guarantees the timely payment of all principal and interest due on the underlying municipal instrument. The value of a municipal instrument can be volatile and significantly affected by adverse tax changes or court rulings, legislative or political changes, changes in specific or general market and economic conditions in the region where the instrument is issued, and the financial condition of municipal issuers and of municipal instrument insurers of which there are a limited number. Also, because many municipal instruments are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in certain industries can significantly affect the fund and the overall municipal market. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the fund could be taxable to shareholders.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and

 

109


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

 

other IBOR-based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables –Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For callable debt securities purchased at a premium that have explicit, non-contingent call features and that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates, ASU 2017-08 requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The fund adopted ASU 2017-08 as of the beginning of the reporting period on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in a change in accounting principle, since the fund had historically amortized such premiums to maturity for U.S. GAAP. As a result of the adoption, the fund recognized a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the beginning of period cost of investments and increased the unrealized appreciation on investments by $22,846,599. Adoption had no impact on the fund’s net assets or any prior period information presented in the financial statements. With respect to the fund’s results of operations, amortization of premium to first call date under ASU 2017-08 accelerates amortization with the intent of more closely aligning the recognition of income on such bonds with the economics of the instrument.

Balance Sheet Offsetting – The fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement, or similar agreement, does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty. The fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to the fund, have been included in the fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.

Investment Valuations – 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. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets 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 Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the fund’s investments (including any fair valuation) to

 

110


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

 

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 fund’s 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 investment’s 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 fund’s 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. 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 fund’s 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 fund’s 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 the fund’s 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 investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fund’s 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 adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2020 in valuing the fund’s assets or liabilities:

 

Financial Instruments    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  
Municipal Bonds      $—        $4,451,346,402        $—        $4,451,346,402  
U.S. Corporate Bonds             18,035,331               18,035,331  
Mutual Funds      149,559,733                      149,559,733  
Total      $149,559,733        $4,469,381,733        $—        $4,618,941,466

Inverse Floaters – The fund invests in municipal inverse floating rate securities which are structured by the issuer (known as primary market inverse floating rate securities) or by the fund utilizing the fund’s municipal bonds which have already been issued (known as self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate securities) to have variable rates of interest which typically move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates. A self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate security is created when the fund transfers a fixed rate municipal bond to a special purpose trust (“the trust”), and causes the trust to (a) issue floating rate certificates to third parties, in an amount equal to a fraction of the par amount of the deposited bonds (these certificates usually pay tax-exempt interest at short-term interest rates that typically reset weekly; and the certificate holders typically, on seven days notice, have the option to tender their certificates to the trust or another party for redemption at par plus accrued interest), and (b) issue inverse floating rate certificates (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”) which are held by the fund. Such self-deposited inverse floaters held by the fund are accounted for as secured borrowings, with the municipal bonds reflected in the investments of the fund and amounts owed to the holders of the floating rate certificates under the provisions of the trust, which amounts are paid solely from the assets of the trust, reflected as liabilities of the fund in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption, “Payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates”. The carrying value of the fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates as reported in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The value of the payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates as of the reporting date is considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy disclosure. At March 31, 2020, the fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates was $74,234,700 and the weighted average interest rate on the settled floating rate certificates issued by the trust was 4.83%. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the average payable to the holders of the settled floating rate certificates was $77,131,627 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.75%. Interest expense and fees include interest payments made to the holders of certain floating rate certificates and associated fees, both of which are made from trust assets. Interest expense and fees are recorded as incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2020, interest expense and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters amounted to $1,683,502 and are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statement of Operations. Primary market inverse floaters held by the fund are not accounted for as secured borrowings.

Indemnifications – Under the fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the 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. Some securities may be purchased or sold on an extended settlement basis which includes “when-issued”, “delayed delivery” or “To Be Announced” (TBA) securities. For extended settlement transactions, the receipt or

delivery of the securities by the fund and related payments occur at a future date, usually beyond the customary settlement time. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.

The fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statement 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 Statement of Operations.

The fund purchased or sold debt securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, or in a “To Be Announced” (TBA) or “forward commitment” transaction with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. When the fund sells securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, TBA, or forward commitment basis, the fund typically owns or has the right to acquire securities equivalent in kind and amount to the delivered securities. At the time a fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security acquired or sold is reflected in the fund’s net asset value. The price of such security and the date that the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. When-issued investments purchased are held at carrying amount, which approximates fair value and are categorized as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and included in Investments purchased on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. No interest accrues to the fund until payment takes place. At the time that a fund enters into this type of transaction, the fund is required to have sufficient cash and/or liquid securities to cover its commitments. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities prior to settlement date or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors.

Legal fees and other related expenses incurred to preserve and protect the value of a security owned are added to the cost of the security; other legal fees are expensed. Capital infusions made directly to the security issuer, which are generally non-recurring, incurred to protect or enhance the value of high-yield debt securities, are reported as additions to the cost basis of the security. Costs that are incurred to negotiate the terms or conditions of capital infusions or that are expected to result in a plan of reorganization are reported as realized losses. Ongoing costs incurred to protect or enhance an investment, or costs incurred to pursue other claims or legal actions, are expensed.

Fees Paid Indirectly – The fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by the fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2020, is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Tax Matters and Distributions – The 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 and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. The fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed the fund’s 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.

Book/tax differences primarily relate to amortization and accretion of debt securities.

The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last two fiscal years is as follows:

Total distributions      $129,401,588        $117,871,239  

The federal tax cost and the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:

income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. The fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) 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 B1 shares will convert to Class A and A1 shares, respectively, approximately eight years after purchase. Class C shares will convert to Class A shares approximately ten years after purchase. The fund’s distributions declared to shareholders as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are presented by class as follows:

(3) Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Adviser – The fund has an investment advisory agreement with MFS to provide overall investment management and related administrative services and facilities to the fund. The management fee is computed daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates based on the fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Up to $1.3 billion      0.40
In excess of $1.3 billion and up to $2 billion      0.37
In excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion      0.35
In excess of $5 billion and up to $10 billion      0.34
In excess of $10 billion      0.33

MFS has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee by a specified amount if certain MFS mutual fund assets exceed thresholds agreed to by MFS and the fund’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended March 31, 2020, this management fee reduction amounted to $428,901, which is included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. The management fee incurred for the year ended March 31, 2020 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.36% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

The investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay a portion of the fund’s total annual operating expenses, excluding interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage and transaction costs, and investment-related expenses (including interest expenses and fees associated with investments in inverse floating rate instruments), such that total fund operating expenses do not exceed the following rates annually of each class’s average daily net assets:

 

Class A     Class B     Class C     Class I     Class R6     Class A1     Class B1  
  0.73%       1.48     1.48     0.48     0.42     0.48     1.23

 

115


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

 

This written agreement will continue until modified by the fund’s Board of Trustees, but such agreement will continue at least until July 31, 2020. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the fund’s actual operating expenses did not exceed the limit and therefore, the investment adviser did not pay any portion of the fund’s expenses related to this agreement.

Distributor – MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. (MFD), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFS, as distributor, received $208,345 and $3,143 for the year ended March 31, 2020, as its portion of the initial sales charge on sales of Class A and Class A1 shares of the fund, respectively.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a distribution plan for certain share classes pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The fund’s distribution plan provides that the fund will pay MFD for services provided by MFD and financial intermediaries in connection with the distribution and servicing of certain share classes. One component of the plan is a distribution fee paid to MFD and another component of the plan is a service fee paid to MFD. MFD may subsequently pay all, or a portion, of the distribution and/or service fees to financial intermediaries.

In accordance with the distribution plan for certain classes, the fund pays distribution and/or service fees equal to these annual percentage rates of each class’s average daily net assets. The distribution and service fee rates disclosed by class represent the current rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Any rate changes, if applicable, are detailed below.

(e)

The annual effective rates represent actual fees incurred under the distribution plan for the year ended March 31, 2020 based on each class’s average daily net assets. MFD has agreed in writing to reduce the Class B1 service fee rate to 0.00% for all Class B1 shares. This written agreement will continue until modified by the fund’s Board of Trustees, but such agreement will continue at least until July 31, 2020. For the year ended March 31, 2020, this reduction amounted to $189 and is included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. MFD has voluntarily agreed to rebate a portion of each class’s 0.25% service fee attributable to accounts for which there is no financial intermediary specified on the account except for accounts attributable to MFS or its affiliates’ seed money. For the year ended March 31, 2020, this rebate amounted to $29,732, $12, and $687 for Class A, Class B, and Class C, respectively, and is included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Certain Class A and Class A1 shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) in the event of a shareholder redemption within 18 months of purchase. Class B and Class B1 shares are subject to a CDSC in the event of a shareholder redemption within six years of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC in the

Shareholder Servicing Agent – MFS Service Center, Inc. (MFSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFS, receives a fee from the fund for its services as shareholder servicing agent calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the fund as determined periodically under the supervision of the fund’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the fee was $142,684, which equated to 0.0033% annually of the fund’s average daily net assets. MFSC also receives payment from the fund for out-of-pocket expenses, sub-accounting and other shareholder servicing costs which may be paid to affiliated and unaffiliated service providers. Class R6 shares do not incur sub-accounting fees. For the year ended March 31, 2020, these out-of-pocket expenses, sub-accounting and other shareholder servicing costs amounted to $2,790,413.

Administrator – MFS provides certain financial, legal, shareholder communications, compliance, and other administrative services to the fund. Under an administrative services agreement, the fund reimburses MFS the costs incurred to provide these services. The fund is charged an annual fixed amount of $17,500 plus a fee based on average daily net assets. The administrative services fee incurred for the year ended March 31, 2020 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.0127% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Trustees’ and Officers’ Compensation – The fund pays compensation to independent Trustees in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to Board and Committee chairpersons. The fund does not pay compensation directly to Trustees or officers of the fund who are also officers of the investment adviser, all of whom receive remuneration from MFS for their services to the fund. Certain officers and Trustees of the fund are officers or directors of MFS, MFD, and MFSC.

Prior to December 31, 2001, the fund had an unfunded defined benefit plan (“DB plan”) for independent Trustees. As of December 31, 2001, the Board took action to terminate the DB plan with respect to then-current and any future independent Trustees, such that the DB plan covers only certain of those former independent Trustees who retired on or before December 31, 2001. The DB plan resulted in a pension expense of $2,646 and is included in “Independent Trustees’ compensation” in the Statement of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2020. The liability for deferred retirement benefits payable to those former independent Trustees under the DB plan amounted to $5,690 at March 31, 2020, and is included in “Payable for independent Trustees’ compensation” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Other – This fund and certain other funds managed by MFS (the funds) had entered into a service agreement (the ISO Agreement) which provided for payment of fees solely by the funds to Tarantino LLC in return for the provision of services of an Independent Senior Officer (ISO) for the funds. Frank L. Tarantino served as the ISO and was an officer of the funds and the sole member of Tarantino LLC. Effective June 30, 2019, Mr. Tarantino retired from his position as ISO for the funds, and the ISO Agreement was terminated. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the fee paid by the fund under this agreement was $2,867 and is included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statement of Operations. MFS had agreed to bear all expenses associated with office space, other administrative support, and supplies provided to the ISO.

The fund invests in the MFS Institutional Money Market Portfolio which is managed by MFS and seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. This money market fund does not pay a management fee to MFS but does incur investment and operating costs.

The fund and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.25 billion unsecured committed line of credit, subject to a $1 billion sublimit, provided by a syndicate of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the highest of one month LIBOR, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus an agreed upon spread. A commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds. In addition, the fund and other funds managed by MFS have established unsecured uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at rates equal to customary reference rates plus an agreed upon spread. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the fund’s commitment fee and interest expense were $24,970 and $0, respectively, and are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statement of Operations.

(8) Impacts of COVID-19

The pandemic related to the global spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was first detected in December 2019, has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity and the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the securities and commodities markets in general. This pandemic, the full effects of which are still unknown, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may have adversely impacted the prices and liquidity of the fund’s investments and the fund’s performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of MFS Municipal Series Trust and the Shareholders of MFS Municipal Income Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of MFS Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2020, by

ITEM 2.

CODE OF ETHICS.

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and as defined in Form N-CSR that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. During the period covered by this report, the Registrant has not amended any provision in the Code that relates to an element of the Code’s definition enumerated in paragraph (b) of Item 2 of this Form N-CSR. During the period covered by this report, the Registrant did not grant a waiver, including an implicit waiver, from any provision of the Code.

A copy of the current Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

 

ITEM 3.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Messrs. Steven E. Buller, James Kilman, and Clarence Otis, Jr. and Ms. Maryanne L. Roepke, members of the Audit Committee, have been determined by the Board of Trustees in their reasonable business judgment to meet the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR. In addition, Messrs. Buller, Kilman, and Otis and Ms. Roepke are “independent” members of the Audit Committee (as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002). The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 on the Form N-CSR does not impose on such a person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

This amount reflects the fees billed to MFS and MFS Related Entities for non-audit services relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (portions of which services also related to the operations and financial reporting of other funds within the MFS Funds complex).

#

This amount reflects the aggregate fees billed by Deloitte, as the case may be, for non-audit services rendered to the Funds and for non-audit services rendered to MFS and the MFS Related Entities.

1 

The fees included under “Audit-Related Fees” are fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under ‘‘Audit Fees,’’ including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews.

2 

The fees included under “Tax Fees” are fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis.

3 

The fees included under “All Other Fees” are fees for products and services provided by Deloitte other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees”.

Item 4(e)(1):

Set forth below are the policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees relating to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit related services:

To the extent required by applicable law, pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered to the Fund and all permissible non-audit services rendered to MFS or MFS Related Entities if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis. In the event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to seek pre-approval at the next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval; provided that the Chair may not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000 or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000 in each period between regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Item 4(e)(2):

None, or 0%, of the services relating to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees paid by the Fund and MFS and MFS Related Entities relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant disclosed above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraphs (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits audit committee approval after the start of the engagement with respect to services other than audit, review or attest services, if certain conditions are satisfied).

Item 4(f):

Not applicable.


Table of Contents

Item 4(h):

The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by a Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to MFS and MFS Related Entities that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm as the Registrant’s principal auditors.
