MANAGED DISTRIBUTION POLICY DISCLOSURE
The MFS Government Markets Income Trust’s (the fund) Board of Trustees adopted a managed distribution policy. The fund seeks to pay monthly distributions based on an annual rate of 7.25% of the fund’s average monthly net asset value. The primary purpose of the managed distribution policy is to provide shareholders with a constant, but not guaranteed, fixed rate of distribution each month. You should not draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the fund’s managed distribution policy. The Board may amend or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time without prior notice to fund shareholders. The amendment or termination of the managed distribution policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of the fund’s shares.
With each distribution, the fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. Please refer to “Tax Matters and Distributions” under Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements for information regarding the tax character of the fund’s distributions.
Under a managed distribution policy the fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the fund is paid back to you. Any such returns of capital will decrease the fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make the level of distributions called for under its managed distribution policy, the fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. The fund’s total return in relation to changes in net asset value is presented in the Financial Highlights.

Portfolio Composition - continued
(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. If none of the 3 rating agencies above assign a rating, but the security is rated by DBRS Morningstar, then the DBRS Morningstar rating is assigned. If none of the 4 rating agencies listed above rate the security, but the security is rated by the Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA), then the KBRA rating 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. U.S. Government includes securities issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Federal Agencies includes rated and unrated U.S. Agency fixed-income securities, U.S. Agency mortgage-backed
securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations of U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. Not Rated includes fixed income securities and fixed income derivatives that 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. The Average Duration calculation reflects the
impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. 
(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 feature (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.
(q)
For purposes of this presentation, Other includes equivalent exposure from currency
derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions and may be negative.
(v)
For purposes of this presentation, market value of fixed income and/or equity derivatives, if
any, is included in Cash & Cash Equivalents.
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, they are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
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.
Percentages are based on net assets as of May 31, 2026.
The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

Other Notes
The fund’s shares may trade at a discount or premium to net asset value. When fund shares trade at a premium, buyers pay more than the net asset value of the underlying fund shares, and shares purchased at a premium would receive less than the amount paid for them in the event of the fund’s concurrent liquidation.
The fund's target annual distribution rate is calculated based on an annual rate of 7.25% of the fund's average monthly net asset value, not a fixed share price, and the fund's distribution amount will fluctuate with changes in the fund's average monthly net assets.
In accordance with Section 23(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the fund hereby gives notice that it may from time to time repurchase shares of the fund in the open market at the option of the Board of Trustees and on such terms as the Trustees shall determine.

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) Business and Organization
MFS Government Markets Income Trust (the fund) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified closed-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.
Segment Reporting — An operating segment is defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) in making resource allocation decisions and assessing segment performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The fund represents a single operating segment and the Chairman’s Committee of the fund's adviser acts as the segment’s CODM. The fund’s total returns, expense ratios, and changes in net assets which are used by the CODM to assess segment performance and to make resource allocation decisions to the segment are consistent with that presented within the fund’s financial statements.
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 — Subject to its oversight, the fund's Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the fund’s investments to MFS as the fund's adviser, pursuant to the fund’s valuation policy and procedures which have been adopted by the adviser and approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
20

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
Board of Trustees designated the adviser as the “valuation designee” of the fund. If the adviser, as valuation designee, determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available for an investment, the investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with the adviser’s fair valuation policy and procedures.
Under the fund's valuation policy and procedures, debt instruments and floating rate loans, including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Exchange-traded options for which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. For put options, the position may be valued at the last daily ask quotation if there are no trades reported during the day. Options not traded on an exchange are generally valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Foreign currency options are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Swap agreements are generally valued using valuations provided by a third-party pricing service, which for cleared swaps includes an evaluation of any trading activity at the clearinghouses. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. The values of foreign securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the mean of bid and asked prices for rates provided by a third-party pricing service.
Under the fund’s valuation policy and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for debt instruments, floating rate loans, and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services or otherwise determined by the adviser in accordance with the adviser’s fair valuation policy and procedures. 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, spreads and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt instruments assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot sizes, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. In instances where a fund holds an odd lot size position in a debt instrument, such position will typically be valued using the pricing agent’s institutional round lot price for the debt instrument. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and the fund may receive different prices when it sells odd lot positions than it would receive for sales of institutional round lot positions. An investment may also be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that the 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.
21

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
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 significant 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 and swap agreements. The following is a summary of the levels used as of May 31, 2026 in valuing the fund's assets and liabilities:

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
Derivatives — The fund uses derivatives primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market or segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate or currency exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives are used for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the fund uses 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 fund during the period were purchased options, futures contracts, and swap agreements. Depending on the type of derivative, a 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 fund 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 fund's 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 fund at May 31, 2026 as reported in the Statement 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, the 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 the fund's credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the fund under the applicable transactions, if any.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. For exchange-traded and cleared derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-traded options), margin requirements are set by the exchange or clearing broker and the clearing house and collateral, in the form of cash or securities, is posted by the fund directly with the exchange or clearing broker. Collateral terms are counterparty agreement specific for uncleared derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and uncleared options). 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 credit 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 brokers to cover the fund's collateral or margin obligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral posted for uncleared derivatives and/or cash pledged for exchange-traded or cleared derivatives. Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. The fund 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 Statement of Operations.
Purchased Options — The fund purchased call and put options for a premium. Purchased call and put options entitle the holder to buy and sell a specified number of shares or units of a particular security, currency or index at a specified price at a specified date or within a specified period of time. Purchasing call options may hedge against an anticipated increase in the dollar cost of securities or currency to be acquired or increase the fund’s exposure to an underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may hedge against an anticipated decline in the value of portfolio securities or currency or decrease the fund's exposure to an underlying instrument.
A purchased swaption represents an option that gives the fund as purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a pre-defined interest rate swap agreement with the counterparty at a specified rate at a specified date or within a specified period of time. The fund enters into swaptions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the fund’s investments, to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to underlying risk factors or to protect against an increase or decrease in the price of securities.
24

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
The premium paid is initially recorded as an investment in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. That investment is subsequently marked-to-market daily with the difference between the premium paid and the market value of the purchased option being recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiums paid for purchased call and put options which have expired are treated as realized losses on investments in the Statement of Operations. Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased call option, the premium paid is added to the cost of the security or financial instrument purchased.  Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased put option, the premium paid is offset against the proceeds on the sale of the underlying security or financial instrument in order to determine the realized gain or loss on investments.
Whether or not the option is exercised, the fund's maximum risk of loss from purchasing an option is the amount of premium paid.  All option contracts involve credit risk if the counterparty to the option contract fails to perform. For uncleared options, this risk is mitigated in cases where there is an ISDA Master Agreement between the fund and the counterparty providing for netting as described above and, where applicable, by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty under such ISDA Master Agreement.
Futures Contracts — The fund entered into futures contracts which may be used to hedge against or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, currency 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, exchange 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.
Swap Agreements — The fund entered into swap agreements which generally involve a periodic exchange of cash payments on a net basis, at specified intervals or upon the occurrence of specified events, between the fund and a counterparty. Certain swap agreements may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“uncleared swaps”) while others are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared swaps”). 
Both cleared and uncleared swap agreements are marked to market daily.  The value of uncleared swap agreements is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Uncleared swaps, at value” which includes any related interest accruals to be paid or received by the fund.  For cleared swaps, payments (variation margin) are made or
25

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the cleared swap, such that only the current day net receivable or payable for variation margin is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For both cleared and uncleared swaps, premiums paid or received at the inception of the agreements are amortized over the term of the agreement as realized gain or loss on swap agreements in the Statement of Operations. The periodic exchange of net cash payments, as well as any liquidation payment received or made upon early termination, are recorded as a realized gain or loss on swap agreements in the Statement of Operations. The change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements in the Statement of Operations reflects the aggregate change over the reporting period in the value of swaps net of any unamortized premiums paid or received.
Risks related to swap agreements include the possible lack of a liquid market, unfavorable market and interest rate movements of the underlying instrument and the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreements. The fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. To address counterparty risk, uncleared swap agreements are limited to only highly-rated counterparties.  Risk is further reduced by having an ISDA Master Agreement (“ISDA”) between the fund and the counterparty and, where applicable, by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty under such ISDA. The fund's counterparty risk due to cleared swaps is mitigated by the fact that the clearinghouse is the counterparty to the transaction and the regulatory requirement safeguards in the event of a clearing broker bankruptcy.
The fund entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.  Interest rate swap agreements involve the periodic exchange of cash flows, between the fund and a counterparty, based on the difference between two interest rates applied to a notional principal amount. The two interest rates exchanged may either be a fixed rate and a floating rate or two floating rates based on different indices.
The fund entered into inflation swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to inflation risk.  Inflation swap agreements involve the periodic exchange of cash flows, between the fund and a counterparty, based on the difference between two rates applied to a notional principal amount. The two rates exchanged are generally a fixed rate and a floating rate based on an inflation index.
Mortgage-Backed/Asset-Backed Securities — The fund invests a significant portion of its assets in asset-backed and/or mortgage-backed securities.  For these securities, the value of the debt instrument also depends on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral as well as whether there is a security interest in the underlying assets or collateral.  Enforcing rights, if any, against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult. U.S. Government securities not supported as to the payment of principal or interest by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are subject to greater credit risk than are U.S. Government securities supported by the U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Ginnie Mae.
26

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
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 —  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.
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.
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date.  In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified cost basis.
The fund may purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities on a To Be Announced (“TBA”) basis. A TBA transaction is subject to extended settlement and typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered, but instead includes an approximate principal amount. The price of the TBA security and the date that it will be settled are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security varies with market fluctuations and no interest accrues to the fund until settlement takes place. TBA purchase and sale commitments are held at carrying amount, which approximates fair value and are categorized as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and included in TBA purchase and TBA sale commitments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable. Losses may arise as a result of changes in the value of the TBA investment prior to settlement date or due to counterparty non-performance. 
The fund may also enter into mortgage dollar rolls, typically TBA dollar rolls, in which the fund sells TBA mortgage-backed securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agrees to repurchase similar (same issuer, type and coupon) securities at a later date at an agreed-upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. The fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. As such, these transactions may result in an increase to the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Portfolio turnover rates including and excluding TBA transactions are presented in the Financial Highlights. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
To mitigate the counterparty credit risk on To Be Announced (“TBA”) transactions, mortgage dollar rolls, and other types of forward settling mortgage-backed and asset-backed security transactions, the fund whenever possible enters into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (“MSFTA”) on a bilateral basis with each of
27

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
the counterparties with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions.  The MSFTA 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 MSFTA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction 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 MSFTA could result in a reduction of the fund's credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the fund under the applicable transactions, if any.
For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities traded under a MSFTA, the collateral and margining requirements are contract specific. Collateral amounts across all transactions traded under such agreement are netted and an amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash posted to cover the fund's collateral or margin obligations under a MSFTA, if any, will be reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral posted. Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments.
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 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 generally 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. Foreign taxes, if any, have been accrued by the fund in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law. Foreign income taxes may be withheld by certain countries in which the fund invests. Additionally, capital gains realized by the fund on securities issued in or by certain foreign countries may be subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The fund employs a managed distribution policy whereby the fund seeks to pay monthly distributions based on an annual rate of 7.25% of the fund’s average monthly net asset value. As a result, distributions may exceed actual earnings which may result in a tax return of capital. Distributions in any year may include a substantial return of capital component. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the amount of distributions estimated to be a tax return of capital was approximately $2,105,222 which is reported as distributions from other sources in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. All or a portion of this amount may be redesignated as ordinary income and/or capital gains at fiscal year end. Please refer to the Financial Highlights for distributions of tax returns of capital made during the prior five years. 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.
28

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
Book/tax differences primarily relate to amortization of premium and accretion of discount of debt securities.
The tax character of distributions made during the six months ended May 31, 2026 will be determined at fiscal year end. The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last fiscal year is as follows:

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 an annual rate of 0.32% of the fund’s average daily net assets and 5.33% of gross income. Gross income is calculated based on tax elections that generally include the accretion of discount and exclude the amortization of premium, which may differ from investment income reported in the Statement of Operations. MFS has agreed to reduce its management fee to the lesser of the contractual management fee as set forth above or 0.85% of the fund's average daily net assets. This written agreement will continue until modified by the fund's Board of Trustees, but such agreement will continue at least until November 30, 2026. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the fund’s
29

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued 
average daily net assets and gross income fees did not meet the threshold required to waive the management fee under this agreement. The management fee, from net assets and gross income, incurred for the six months ended May 31, 2026 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.53% 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, certain tax reclaim recovery expenses (including contingency fees and closing agreement expenses), and investment-related expenses, such that total fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.80% annually of the fund’s average daily net assets. This written agreement will continue until modified by the fund’s Board of Trustees, but such agreement will continue at least until November 30, 2027. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, this reduction amounted to $42,452, which is included in the reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.
Transfer Agent — The fund engages Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”) as the sole transfer agent for the fund. MFS Service Center, Inc. (MFSC) monitors and supervises the activities of Computershare for an agreed upon fee approved by the Board of Trustees. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, fees paid to MFSC amounted to $10,231.
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 is computed daily and paid monthly. The administrative services fee incurred for the six months ended May 31, 2026 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.0239% 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. Independent Trustees’ compensation is accrued daily and paid subsequent to each Trustee Board meeting. 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 and MFSC.
Other — 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.

(5) Shares of Beneficial Interest
The fund's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest. The Trustees have authorized the repurchase by the fund of up to 10% annually of its own shares of beneficial interest. During the years ended May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, there were no transactions in fund shares.
(6) Line of Credit
The fund and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.45 billion unsecured committed line of credit of which $1.2 billion is reserved for use by the fund and certain other MFS U.S. funds. The line of credit is 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 1) Daily Simple SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), 2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or 3) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, each 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. The line of credit expires on March 11, 2027 unless extended or renewed. 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 six months ended May 31, 2026, the fund’s commitment fee and interest expense were $242 and $0, respectively, and are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statement of Operations.

Board Review of Investment
Advisory Agreement
MFS Government Markets Income Trust
The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has considered and approved an arrangement pursuant to which abrdn Inc. (“Aberdeen”) will serve as the new investment adviser to the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Shareholders subsequently approved the Investment Advisory Agreement on June 18, 2026.
At a meeting on December 10, 2025 (the “December Meeting”), MFS and abrdn Inc. (“Aberdeen”) and, for the purposes specified therein, Aberdeen Group plc, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Aberdeen would acquire certain assets and liabilities related to MFS’ business of providing investment management services with respect to the assets of the Fund and certain other registered investment companies (the “Business”) if certain closed-end fund reorganizations were approved, and upon satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions. Under the Purchase Agreement, MFS agreed to transfer to Aberdeen, in exchange for a cash payment at the closing of the Transaction, and subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (i) all right, title and interest of MFS in and to the books and records relating to the Business of the Trusts; (ii); the historical investment performance records of the funds being reorganized; and (iii) the goodwill of the Business (the “Transaction”).
In connection with the Transaction, at the December Board Meeting, the Trustees approved, subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization of the Fund and certain other MFS closed-end funds with and into MFS Multimarket Income Trust (the “Reorganization”). A meeting of the Fund’s shareholders to vote on the Reorganization was called for March 11, 2026 and adjourned to enable further solicitation. However, the required favorable vote of shareholders of the Fund was not reached and MFS adjourned the meeting without a formal vote on the proposed Reorganization. The Reorganization with respect to certain other closed-end funds was approved.
On April 29, 2026 (the “April Board Meeting”, together with the December Board Meeting, the “Board Meetings” and each a “Board Meeting”) the Trustees, including all of the non-interested (“independent”) Trustees, met to consider various factors relating to the Transaction, including whether to recommend to shareholders of the Fund the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, independent Trustees met on several occasions together and separately with senior executives and other representatives of MFS and Aberdeen to discuss various aspects of the Transaction. The Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received assistance and advice, including a review of the legal standards applicable to the consideration of advisory arrangements, and with whom they met separately from MFS and Aberdeen management. MFS had recommended that the Board approve the Investment Advisory Agreement in connection with its consideration of the broader Transaction.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, among other factors, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by Aberdeen under the

Investment Advisory Agreement, and other proposed arrangements between Aberdeen and the Fund, as appropriate. The Board also considered certain other alternatives to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement but ultimately concluded approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement) presented an attractive alternative to the Fund’s participation in the Reorganization and serves the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders, under the then current circumstances.
At the request of the independent Trustees, Aberdeen and MFS provided detailed information to the Board relevant to the Board’s consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including information about the broader Transaction and any impacts on shareholders, as well as information about Aberdeen and MFS. MFS and Aberdeen responded to questions and supplemental information requests from the Board in advance of and at each Board Meeting. In connection with their Board Meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials that included, among other items: (i) general and financial information regarding Aberdeen and its affiliates; (ii) information about the Transaction; (iii) information regarding Aberdeen personnel and services to be provided to the Fund; (iv) information relating to Aberdeen’s investment advisory services and performance generally including performance of comparable accounts managed by Aberdeen and peer groups; (v) Aberdeen’s brokerage practices and allocation of portfolio transactions (vi) information regarding the Fund’s fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses proposed under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (vii) Aberdeen’s expected profitability with respect to their management of the Fund and other benefits; (viii) Aberdeen’s governance, oversight and compliance policies and procedures as proposed for the Fund; (ix) information relating to Aberdeen’s cybersecurity, artificial intelligence risk and business continuity; (x) information relating to Aberdeen’s affiliates and management of any potential conflicts of interest; (xi) and proposed services arrangements for the Fund. The independent Trustees considered that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement were similar to those of the proposed management agreement between MFS Multimarket Income Trust and Aberdeen, and that certain information received in connection with its December Board Meeting remained relevant to the Board’s consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In connection with requests submitted in advance of the April Board Meeting, the independent Trustees requested that Aberdeen and MFS provide updated information in response to requests submitted in advance of the December Board Meeting. In addition to the information received in connection with the December Board Meeting, the Board also considered information it had previously received regarding Aberdeen and the proposed Transaction at meetings held earlier with MFS management and Aberdeen. In addition, prior to the December Board Meeting, independent Trustees met with each trustee nominated by Aberdeen to serve on the Fund’s board if the Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by shareholders. The independent Trustees approved the nominees and recommended that shareholders of the Fund elect the nominees.
The Trustees’ conclusion to approve, and to recommend that shareholders approve, the Investment Advisory Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently
34

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement - continued
from one another, giving different weights to various factors. In reaching the decision to approve, and to recommend that shareholders approve, the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a number of factors, including, among others and in no order of priority:
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The Trustees received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services to be provided by Aberdeen to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Aberdeen’s most recent investment adviser registration forms were provided to the Trustees, as were responses to detailed requests submitted by the independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel on their behalf, as described above. The Trustees also had previously met with senior personnel across various departments of Aberdeen. The Trustees considered the information provided with respect to the proposed experienced portfolio management teams and other resources that would be dedicated to the Fund, as well as the investment philosophies and processes that would be followed by those individuals in managing the Fund. Further, the Trustees noted that Aberdeen has advised the Trustees that in transitioning the management of the Fund, Aberdeen would be focused on minimizing any disruption to the Fund and its shareholders and that it expects any repositioning of the Fund’s investment portfolio to be undertaken by Aberdeen in connection with the Transaction would be done in a manner that minimizes transaction costs and mitigates adverse tax consequences. The Trustees noted that Aberdeen has substantial experience in assimilating unaffiliated closed-end funds into its family of funds.
The Trustees considered that Aberdeen and its affiliates managed 15 U.S. closed-end funds and 13 non-U.S. closed-end funds, totaling $28.7 billion in assets as of February 28, 2026. The Trustees additionally considered Aberdeen’s commitment to its asset management business, in particular its larger closed-end fund platform, its knowledge of the closed-end fund marketplace, and dedicated closed-end fund investor services professionals.
The Trustees noted Aberdeen’s and MFS’ representations that, if Aberdeen were approved as the Fund’s investment adviser, there would be no expected diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund and its respective shareholders, including administrative, regulatory and compliance services. The Trustees further considered the valuation policies of Aberdeen and MFS are substantially similar.
Based on the foregoing and other relevant information reviewed, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with assurances from Aberdeen and MFS as to the expected nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Investment performance
The Trustees considered the investment performance of Aberdeen advised closed-end funds, generally as well as the investment performance of other Aberdeen advised products, as the Trustees deemed relevant. The Trustees specifically considered the performance of those Aberdeen advised products with investment objectives and/or strategies that are comparable with the strategy of the Fund. The Trustees considered performance results for various periods ended September 30, 2025 and evaluated performance in comparison to each relevant Aberdeen advised products’ relevant

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement - continued
benchmark index, as applicable, as well as against the performance of the Fund. The Trustees were generally satisfied with Aberdeen’s performance as an investment adviser with respect to those products with strategies and/or objectives comparable to those of the Fund.
Fees, Expenses and Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered that the Investment Advisory Agreement will have a different fee structure and different fee rates than the MFS Management Agreement. The Trustees considered that the investment advisory fee rate under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be computed with reference to the Fund’s average daily total Managed Assets[1] and that currently, under the MFS Management Agreement, the investment advisory fee rate is computed with reference to the Fund’s average daily total net assets plus a percentage of the Fund’s gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities, short-term gains from options and futures transactions and premium income from options written). The Trustees therefore considered the fees and expenses of the Fund, as compared to the proposed fees and expenses for the Fund on the basis of both net and Managed Assets.
The Trustees considered that the Fund’s estimated total annual expenses, after application of Aberdeen’s proposed expense limitation, would be lower on a Managed Asset basis and on a net asset basis as compared to the current total annual fund operating expenses of the Fund. The Trustees also took into account that the expense limitation arrangement could not be amended or terminated during the two-year period without the approval of a majority of the Fund’s independent Trustees. The Trustees also considered that it is expected that the Fund’s total annual expenses will be higher on a Managed Assets and net assets basis excluding the Aberdeen Expense Limitation as compared to the Fund’s total annual expenses for a period of at least two years from the date on which Aberdeen begins managing the Fund.
Additionally, the Trustees considered the estimated fees and expenses of the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement in the context of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. expense peer groups last reviewed by the Trustees in connection with the Fund’s most recent contract renewal. The Trustees also evaluated the fees and expenses of other comparable funds that MFS and Aberdeen had deemed relevant in the context of the broader Transaction and as provided in response to the Trustees’ information request in advance of the December Board Meeting and again in advance of the April Board Meeting.
The Trustees also noted that while the Fund, as a closed-end fund, would not present the opportunity for economies of scale on its own, Aberdeen’s large platform presented opportunities for the Fund to receive the benefits of economies of scale through Aberdeen’s relationships with service providers and other operational efficiencies. The Trustees noted that Aberdeen’s proposed advisory fee for the Fund includes multiple breakpoints in the advisory fee rate for the Fund and considered Aberdeen’s representation that Aberdeen regularly assesses the potential of the closed-end funds it manages to raise additional assets through new offerings (for example, at the market offerings and rights offerings) taking into account a fund’s discount or premium and prevailing market conditions. The Trustees also noted Aberdeen’s representation that it would attempt to achieve economies of scale through relationships with brokers, administrative systems and other efficiencies. The Trustees considered the ways in which Aberdeen may be able to achieve economies of scale for
36

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement - continued
the Fund, but noted that there can be no assurances that economies of scale will be achieved by Aberdeen. Under the circumstances, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee for the Fund is not excessive and that the advisory fee structure is appropriate.
Profitability
The Trustees also considered information prepared by Aberdeen relating to Aberdeen’s estimated costs and profits with respect to the Fund as well as Aberdeen’s methodologies used to determine and allocate its internal costs to the Fund (for purposes of such estimates). The Trustees further noted the pro forma nature of the profitability information presented and that it was not possible to predict with certainty what Aberdeen’s profitability with respect to the Fund would be or how Aberdeen’s overall profitability actually would be affected by becoming the investment adviser to the Fund. They concluded, however, that they had been satisfied, based on their review of the projected profitability of Aberdeen, that the profitability from its relationship with the Fund would not be excessive.
Other Benefits to Aberdeen
The Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to Aberdeen such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager to the Fund; the benefits from allocation of Fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; and the fees that it and/or various affiliates would receive for providing administration and investor relations services and to the Fund, subject to approval by the Fund’s board of trustees. The Trustees considered that Aberdeen does not currently engage in commission sharing arrangements or “soft dollars” and would not do so with respect to their management of the Fund.
The Board concluded that, to the extent Aberdeen or its affiliates derive other benefits from its relationship with the Fund, those benefits are not so significant as to render Aberdeen’s fees excessive.
The Trustees also considered that MFS has a financial interest under the Purchase Agreement in having the Board and shareholders approve the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, concluded to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement and recommend to shareholders the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
[1] “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Combined Fund, including assets attributable to any form of leverage, minus liabilities (other than debt representing leverage and any preferred stock that may be outstanding).
