MFS LOUISIANA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
MFS TEXAS MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
MFS WASHINGTON MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
Supplement to Prospectus dated June 1, 1995
The Board of Trustees which oversees the MFS Louisiana Municipal Bond
Fund, the MFS Texas Municipal Bond Fund and the MFS Washington Municipal Bond
Fund (the "Funds") decided today to terminate each Fund effective May 31, 1996,
or as soon thereafter as practicable (the "Termination Date"). The Trustees'
decision was based on the failure of each Fund to grow to a sufficient size to
be operated on a cost-effective basis. In connection with the termination of the
Funds, the Board of Trustees has suspended the sale of each Fund's shares
effective immediately. Consequently, purchase orders for Fund shares received on
or after April 11, 1996 will be rejected by the Funds.
Enclosed is a formal Notice of Termination which is designed to answer
any questions concerning the Funds' termination. As described more fully in this
Notice, until the Termination Date, shareholders may choose to redeem their Fund
shares or exchange their shares for shares of the same class of any of the funds
in the MFS Family of Funds which permits exchanges at such fund's then current
net asset value. If a shareholder chooses to exchange his or her Fund shares and
the shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (a "CDSC"), the
holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC will carry over to the
acquired shares. If a shareholder chooses to redeem his or her Fund shares, any
applicable CDSC will be waived and any front-end sales charges incurred by the
shareholder during the one-year period preceding April 10, 1996 on purchases of
Fund shares will be repaid to the shareholder. If a shareholder takes no action,
his or her shares will automatically be exchanged on the Termination Date for
shares of the same class of MFS Municipal Bond Fund (the "National Fund"), a
member of the MFS Family of Funds which invests in municipal bonds and other
instruments, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the
National Fund's then current net asset value. The National Fund's prospectus is
enclosed with the Notice of Termination, and the Notice sets forth certain
performance information for the National Fund and your Fund.
THE DATE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT IS APRIL 10, 1996
