LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OFTHE MFS® MERIDIANSM FUNDS

Dear Shareholders:

Global financial markets began 2013 with rising optimism. U.S. and Asian economictrends have turned more positive. Europe continues to struggle through its economicslump. However, even there, sentiment has improved. The U.S. Congress averted itsyear-end fiscal cliff, but a degree of uncertainty remains regarding upcomingnegotiations over spending cuts and the debt ceiling. The U.S. Federal Reserve Boardis continuing its accommodative monetary easing, while the U.S. housing and jobmarkets have made steady gains. Corporate profits have been resilient, and investorshave demonstrated increased tolerance for risk.

The eurozone remains in a broad contraction, with economic output receding inFrance as well as Italy and Spain. However, large-scale early repayments of EuropeanCentral Bank loans by banks and Germany’s strong rebound in manufacturing activityare encouraging signs. In Asia, both China and Japan appear to be in the early stagesof a turnaround. China’s economic activity has picked up from last year’s relativeslowdown, and Japan’s sharp devaluation of the yen, an important anti-deflationarymeasure, seems to be having its desired impact: Japanese stocks have soared,corporate profits are rising and confidence is returning among consumers, businessesand investors. However, the yen’s devaluation and the relative rise of the euro couldpresent additional challenges for eurozone exporters.

As always, managing risk in the face of uncertainty remains a top priority forinvestors. At MFS®, our uniquely collaborative investment process employs globalresearch and active risk management. Our global team of investment professionalsshares ideas and evaluates opportunities across continents, investment disciplines andasset classes — all with a goal of building better insights and ultimately better results,for our clients.

We remain mindful of the many economic challenges investors face today, andbelieve it is more important than ever to maintain a long-term view and employtime-tested principles, such as asset allocation and diversification. We also remainconfident that our unique approach can serve investors well as they work with theirfinancial advisors to identify and pursue the most suitable opportunities.

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 theoriginal cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, please contact your financial consultant.

Total returns do not include the applicable sales charges. If these charges had been included, the results would have been lower.

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

Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers, the funds’ performance results would have been less favorable.Please see the prospectus and financial statements for details. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the net asset values per share and the performance of share classes denominated in currencies other than a sub-fund’s base currency.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

ALFI Code of Conduct

The fund is committed to corporate governance standards relating to its management. In connection therewith, thefund adheres to the ALFI (Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry) Code of Conduct for Luxembourg InvestmentFunds, which was issued in September 2009. This Code sets forth principles regarding qualified and experiencedpersonnel, conflicts of interests and serving the best interests of fund shareholders, due diligence and oversight,compliance with applicable laws and risk management processes.

CERTAIN RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES (unaudited)

Information Regarding Global Exposure Under The Funds’ Risk Management Program

The Fund must employ a risk management process which enables it to monitor and measure at any time the risk of thepositions in its portfolios and their contribution to the overall risk profile of its portfolios. The global exposure relating tofinancial derivative instruments may be calculated through the “commitment approach” or through a Value-at-Risk(“VaR”) methodology. Generally, a sub-fund that uses derivatives more extensively or as part of its investment objectivewill utilize the VaR methodology, and a sub-fund that uses derivatives less extensively will utilize the commitmentapproach.

For each sub-fund except the Absolute Return Fund and the Global Multi-Asset Fund, the commitment approachmethodology is used to calculate global exposure. The commitment approach is based, in part, on the principle ofconverting the exposure to derivative instruments into equivalent positions of the underlying assets and quantifying theexposure in absolute value of the total commitments (which may account for hedging and netting).

For the Absolute Return Fund and Global Multi-Asset Fund, an absolute Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) approach is used tomeasure global exposure. VaR provides a measure of the potential minimum loss that could arise over a given timeinterval under normal market conditions, and at a given confidence level. The sub-funds’ risk management programlimits the maximum VaR that the sub-fund can have relative to its net asset value, as determined by the sub-fund takinginto account its investment policy and risk profile. For each of the Absolute Return Fund and Global Multi-Asset Fund,the absolute VaR cannot be greater than 20% of its respective net asset value. The VaR approach used by each of thesesub-funds is based upon an historical model. The VaR is measured daily at the 99% level of confidence based on a onemonth (20 day) holding period. The underlying data set encompasses one year of data (minimum of 250 observations).For the Absolute Return Fund, the expected level of leverage may vary between 0% and 275% (measured using the sumof the notional value of derivatives used by the sub-fund), based on the net asset value of the sub-fund. In addition, theCompany supplementally monitors the expected level of leverage measured using the commitment approach, whichmay vary between 0% and 125% based on the net asset value of the sub-fund.

For the Global Multi-Asset Fund, the expected level of leverage may vary between 0% and 400% (measured using thesum of notional value of derivatives used by the sub-fund), based on the net asset value of the sub-fund. In addition, theCompany supplementally monitors the expected level of leverage measured using the commitment approach, whichmay vary between 0% and 200% based on the net asset value of the sub-fund. Under certain circumstances, the levelof leverage might exceed the ranges noted above.

The sum of notional value is the sum of the absolute values of the full underlying exposures of our derivative positions.The sum of notional value is based upon the full notional exposure with no netting or hedging. Under both level ofleverage methodologies, the sum of the absolute exposures is calculated in order that exposures of opposite signs tounrelated assets not offset each other in the final result.

Please see the table below for summary information regarding the daily VaR and leverage results for the Absolute ReturnFund and Global Multi-Asset Fund during the period 1 February 2012 through the period ended 31 January 2013:1 February 2012 – 31 January 2013 Absolute Return Fund Global Multi-Asset Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 January 2013

Note 1: The Fund

MFS Meridian Funds (the “fund”), was incorporated in and under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg as an open-ended investment company(“Société d’Investissement a Capital Variable” or SICAV) on 4 February 1992, comprising separate sub-funds each of which relates to a separate portfolio ofsecurities with specific investment objectives. The fund is currently authorized under Part I of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010. As of 31 January2013, the fund offered shares in 30 sub-funds. Each sub-fund offers various share classes with each available class described in a separate KIID. Share classesavailable for each sub-fund as of 31 January 2013 can be found under “Statistical Information” in this report.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements applicable to investment funds. Areconciliation of the impact on net investment income for those impacted sub-funds arising from accounting differences between Luxembourg legal andregulatory requirements for investment funds and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) used in the United States is provided in Note 15.

A) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income andexpenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

B) Financial Instrument Valuations – Equity securities are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as provided by a third-party pricingservice on the market or exchange on which they are primarily traded. Equity securities, for which there were no sales reported that day, are generallyvalued at the last quoted daily bid quotation as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market or exchange on which such securities are primarilytraded.

Debt instruments and floating rate loans (other than short-term instruments) are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by athird-party pricing service.

Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the exchange on whichthey are primarily traded. Exchange-traded options for which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation asprovided by a third-party pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded. Options not traded on an exchange are generallyvalued 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 the last posted settlement price as provided by a third-party pricing service on the market on which they areprimarily traded. Futures contracts, for which there were no trades that day for a particular position, are generally valued at the closing bid quotation asprovided by a third-party pricing service on the market on which such futures contracts are primarily traded.

Swaps are generally valued at valuations provided by a third-party pricing service.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of bid and asked prices for the time period interpolated from ratesprovided by a third-party pricing service for proximate time periods.

Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

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 bidquotation.

Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity,type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. The values of securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in non-base currencies areconverted to the base currency of the sub-fund based upon exchange rates provided by a third-party source.

The Board of Directors has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the sub-fund’s investments (includingany fair valuation) to the investment manager pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the investment managerdetermines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the investmentmanager in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Directors.

Under the fund’s valuation policies and procedures, investments may be valued at fair value if the investment manager determines that an investment’svalue has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such asforeign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the sub-fund’s net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security wheretrading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. Events that occur on a frequent basisafter markets close (such as developments in foreign markets) and prior to the determination of the sub-fund’s net asset value may be deemed to have amaterial effect on the value of securities traded in these markets. Accordingly, the fund’s non-U.S. (“foreign”) equity securities may often be valued at fairvalue. The investment manager may rely on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similarsecurities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; andtrading 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 forpurposes of calculating the sub-fund’s net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine the value. When fair valuation isused, the value of an investment used to determine the sub-fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment.There can be no assurance that the sub-fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time atwhich the sub-fund determines its net asset value per share.

C) Dividends and Interest – Dividends received in cash are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recordedwhen the sub-fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest paymentsreceived in additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend or ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.

MFS Meridian Funds Annual Report 2013 119

Page 120:  · CONTENTS Letter from the Chairman of the MFS Meridian Funds ............. 3 Performance table ......................................... 4 General information

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 January 2013

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each sub-fund accretes discounts on debt securities as adjustments to interest income.

The sub-funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in theStatements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets in realized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions if the security has beendisposed of by the sub-fund or in net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, and currency translation if the security is still held by thesub-fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are recorded as net realized gain, in the Statements of Operations andChanges in Net Assets.

D) Foreign Currency Translation – Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expenses initially expressed in foreign currencies are convertedeach business day into each sub-fund’s base currency based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions or onthe reporting date for foreign denominated receivables and payables. The base currency for the Continental European Equity Fund, EuropeanConcentrated Fund, European Core Equity Fund, European Research Fund, European Smaller Companies Fund, and European Value Fund is EUR. The basecurrency for the U.K. Equity Fund is GBP. The base currency for all the remaining sub-funds is USD. Gains and losses attributable to foreign currencyexchange rates on sales of securities and foreign exchange rate movements on receivables, payables, income, and expenses are recorded for financialstatement purposes as net realized gain (loss) on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions. The portion of both realized and unrealized gainsand losses on investments that results from fluctuations in currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

E) Cost of Securities Sold – In determining the cost of securities sold, each sub-fund uses the identified cost basis.

F) Over-the-counter Derivative Collateral Requirements – Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of thecreditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain over-the-counter derivatives, the sub-fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterpartycredit risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement on a bilateral basis, at the sub-fund level, witheach of the counterparties with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreementthe right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDAMaster Agreement gives the sub-fund the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close outall transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. Thisright to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the sub-fund’s creditrisk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the sub-fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, absent an event of default bythe counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported balance sheet assets andliabilities across transactions between the sub-fund and the applicable counterparty.

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchangetraded derivatives (i.e., futures and exchange-traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives (i.e.,forwards, swaps and over-the-counter options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are netted across alltransactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash collateral that hasbeen pledged to cover obligations of the sub-fund under derivative contracts will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities asrestricted cash. The Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund, and High Yield Fund segregated$35,923, $5,510,000, $10,803, and $300,000, respectively, as cash collateral for open over-the-counter derivatives. Securities collateral pledged for thesame purpose is noted in the Schedules of Investments.

G) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – Each sub-fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or saleof a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability ofcounterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the contract. Certain sub-funds may enter intoforward foreign currency exchange contracts for efficient portfolio management. Certain sub-funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchangecontracts for investment purposes as well. For efficient portfolio management purposes, the sub-fund may enter into contracts to deliver or receive foreigncurrency it will receive from or require in its normal investment activities. The sub-fund may also use contracts in a manner intended to protect foreigncurrency denominated securities from declines in value due to unfavorable exchange rate movements. For investment purposes, certain sub-funds mayenter into contracts with the intent of changing the relative exposure of the sub-fund’s portfolio of securities to different currencies to take advantage ofanticipated changes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains orlosses are recorded as unrealized until the contract settlement date. On contract settlement date, the gains or losses are recorded as realized gain (loss)on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Collateral, in the form of cash orsecurities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connection with these agreements. Details of the forwardforeign currency exchange contracts outstanding are listed in Note 9.

H) Hedged Share Classes – Certain sub-funds offer classes with the aim to reduce exchange rate and return fluctuations between the applicable non-basecurrency hedged share class (“Hedged Share Classes”) and the unhedged base currency class of the relevant sub-fund. Massachusetts Financial ServicesCompany (“MFS”) will be responsible for engaging in hedging transactions for such Hedged Share Classes. The terms and conditions applicable to theHedged Share Classes are the same as those which apply for the same classes of shares offered in the base currency, the only difference being thehedging of the Hedged Share Class to the base currency of the sub-fund. MFS may execute such hedging transactions by using various hedgingtechniques and instruments, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts, currency futures, written calloptions and purchased put options. The gains/losses and expenses of the hedging process will be borne on a pro rata basis by the Hedged Share Classes.Given that there is no segregation of liabilities between share classes of the sub-funds, there is a risk that, under certain circumstances, currency hedgingtransactions in relation to one share class could result in liabilities which might affect the net asset value of the other share classes of the same sub-fund.Details of the class specific forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding are listed in Note 10.

I) Written Options – Each sub-fund may write call or put options in exchange for a premium. In a written option, the sub-fund as the option writer grantsthe buyer the right to purchase from, or sell to, the sub-fund a specified number of shares or units of a particular security, currency or index at a specified

120 MFS Meridian Funds Annual Report 2013

Page 121:  · CONTENTS Letter from the Chairman of the MFS Meridian Funds ............. 3 Performance table ......................................... 4 General information

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 January 2013

price within a specified period of time. The premium is initially recorded as a liability, which is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the optioncontract. When a written option expires, the sub-fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. The difference between the premiumand the amount paid on effecting a closing transaction is considered a realized gain or loss. When a written call option is exercised, the premium receivedis offset against the proceeds to determine the realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of thesecurity purchased by the sub-fund. In general, written call options may serve as a partial hedge against decreases in value in the underlying securities tothe extent of the premium received. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the sub-fund’sdepositary in connection with these agreements.

At the initiation of the written option contract, for exchange traded options, the sub-fund is required to deposit securities or cash as collateral with thedepositary for the benefit of the broker. For over-the-counter options, the sub-fund may post collateral subject to the terms of an ISDA Master Agreementas generally described above if the market value of the options contract moves against it. The sub-fund, as writer of an option, may have no control overwhether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of thesecurities underlying the written option.

J) Purchased Options – Each sub-fund may purchase call or put options in exchange for a premium. Purchased options entitle the holder to buy or sell aspecified 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 be used to hedge against an anticipated increase in the cost of securities or currency to be acquired or to increase the sub-fund’s exposure to an underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may hedge against a decline in the value of portfolio securities or currency. Thepremium paid is initially recorded as an investment in the Schedules of Investments. That investment is subsequently marked-to-market daily with thedifference between the premium paid and the market value of the purchased option being recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Premiumspaid for purchased options which have expired are treated as net realized loss on investments in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.Upon the exercise or closing of a purchased option, the premium paid is either added to the cost of the security or financial instrument in the case of acall option, or offset against the proceeds on the sale of the underlying security or financial instrument in the case of a put option, in order to determinethe net realized gain or loss on investments, derivatives, and currency transactions. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be heldin segregated accounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connection with these agreements.

K) Swap Agreements – Certain sub-funds may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the sub-fund and anotherparty. Net cash payments are exchanged at specified intervals and the expected income or expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The swap is recordedat value and adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations and Changesin Net Assets. Amounts paid or received at the inception of the swap are disclosed as premiums paid or received in Note 13 and are amortized using theeffective interest method over the term of the agreement. A liquidation payment received or made upon early termination is recorded as a realized gain orloss in the Statements of Operations and Changes of Net Assets. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregatedaccounts with the sub-fund’s depositary in connection with these agreements.

Risks related to swap agreements include the possible lack of a liquid market, unfavorable market and interest rate movements of the underlyinginstrument and the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreements. To address counterparty risk, swap transactions are limitedto only highly-rated counterparties and are further mitigated by having ISDA Master Agreements between the sub-fund and its counterparties providingfor collateral and netting as described above. Certain sub-funds may enter into swaps for efficient portfolio management. Certain sub-funds may enterinto swaps for investment purposes as well. For efficient portfolio management purposes, the sub-fund may use swaps to reduce its exposure to interestand foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For investment purposes, certain sub-funds may use swaps to take a position on anticipated changes in theunderlying financial index.

Interest Rate Swaps – Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, such as theexchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments, which are based on a specific financial index, or the exchange of two distinctfloating rate payments. The net receivable or payable associated with these payments is accrued daily and recorded as an unrealized gain or loss, and anypayments received or made are recorded as realized gain or loss, in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Details of the interest rateswaps outstanding are listed in Note 13.

Total Return Swaps – Total return swaps are agreements which involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on anotional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rateobligation, the sub-funds will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. The sub-funds may enter into total returnswaps on a particular security, or a basket or index of securities, in order to gain exposure to the underlying security or securities. Details of the totalreturn swaps outstanding are listed in Note 13.

Credit Default Swaps – Credit default swaps are agreements to manage a sub-fund’s exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reducea sub-fund’s credit risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is nototherwise exposed. In a credit default swap, the protection buyer can make an upfront payment and will make a stream of payments based on a fixedpercentage applied to the contract notional amount to the protection seller in exchange for the right to receive a specified return upon the occurrence of adefined credit event on the reference obligation (which may be either a single security or a basket of securities issued by corporate or sovereign issuers)and, with respect to the rare cases where physical settlement applies, the delivery by the buyer to the seller of a defined deliverable obligation. Althoughcontract-specific, credit events generally consist of a combination of the following: bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration,obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium, each as defined in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions as amended by the relevant contract.Restructuring is generally not applicable when the reference obligation is issued by a North American corporation and obligation acceleration, obligationdefault, or repudiation/moratorium are generally only applicable when the reference obligation is issued by a sovereign entity or an entity in an emergingcountry. Upon determination of the final price for the deliverable obligation (or upon delivery of the deliverable obligation in the case of physicalsettlement), the difference between the value of the deliverable obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss in the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 January 2013

Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. As discussed earlier in this note, collateral requirements for these swaps are based generally on themarket value of the swap netted against collateral requirements for other types of over-the-counter derivatives traded under each counterparty’s ISDAMaster Agreement. Details of the credit default swaps outstanding are listed in Note 13.

L) Futures Contracts – Certain sub-funds may enter into futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or currency, or contracts based on financialindices at a fixed price on a future date. In entering such contracts, the sub-fund is required to deposit with the broker either in cash or securities anamount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which subjects the sub-fund to counterparty risk with respect to such collateral. Subsequentpayments are made or received by the sub-fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financialstatement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the sub-fund. Upon entering into such contracts, the sub-fund bears the risk of interest or exchangerates or securities’ prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the sub-fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and mayrealize a loss. Details of the futures contracts outstanding, including collateral amounts posted by a sub-fund for such contracts, are listed in Note 12.

M) Combined Statements – The combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Operations and Changes in Net Assets are presented in EUR at theexchange rate at the year end 31 January 2013. The currency translation adjustment relates to the retranslation of the opening Net Asset Values at thisexchange rate. The currency exchange rates (USD to EUR) for 31 January 2013 and 31 January 2012 were 0.736485 and 0.764292, respectively. Thecurrency exchange rates (GBP to EUR) for 31 January 2013 and 31 January 2012 were 1.168065 and 1.204066, respectively.

N) Fee Credits – Each sub-fund’s depositary fee may be reduced according to an arrangement that measures the value of cash deposited with thedepositary by each sub-fund. During the year ended 31 January 2013, certain sub-fund’s depositary fees were reduced under this arrangement. Theseamounts are shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets for the applicable sub-funds.

O) Distributions – Each sub-fund distributes to shareholders of Income shares (A2, B2, C2, I2, and W2, if offered) substantially all of the net investmentincome attributable to such shares, whereas the income allocated to Roll-up shares (A1, B1, C1, I1, S1, W1, and Z1, if offered) of each sub-fund shall beincluded in the portion of the net assets corresponding to such shares.

P) Repurchase Agreements – Each sub-fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. For certainrepurchase agreements, collateral posted by the counterparty is held by the sub-funds’ depositary or its agent, while for others it is held with a third-partyagent. In the latter case, the sub-funds are exposed to additional counterparty risk with respect to such collateral due to the possibility of insolvency ofthe third-party agent. Under Luxembourg regulations, the sub-funds’ depositary has established procedures to monitor collateral held with suchthird-party agent on behalf of the sub-funds. Each sub-fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure that its value, includingaccrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to each sub-fund under each such repurchase agreement. Each sub-fund and other funds managed byMFS, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements. Details of the repurchase agreementsincluding various counterparties and the collateral amounts relating to such agreements outstanding are listed in Note 11.

Q) Inflation-Adjusted Debt Securities – Certain sub-funds may invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Certain sub-fundsmay also invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities other than the U.S. Treasury and by otherentities such as U.S. and foreign corporations and foreign governments. The principal value of these debt securities is adjusted through income accordingto changes in the Consumer Price Index or another general price or wage index. These debt securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest, but this fixedrate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal amount. The principal paid at maturity of the debt security is typically equal to the inflation-adjustedprincipal amount, or the security’s original par value, whichever is greater. Other types of inflation-adjusted securities may use other methods to adjust forother measures of inflation.

R) Prudent Wealth Fund Redemption Fee – This sub-fund is entitled to levy a redemption fee of up to 2% at the discretion of the fund’s Directors. If aredemption fee is assessed for this sub-fund, it would apply only on the redemption of sub-fund shares after the implementation of such fee. Thisredemption fee would be for the benefit of the sub-fund, and shareholders will be notified in their applicable contract notes if such a fee has beencharged. Conversions out of the sub-fund may be considered a redemption for purposes of assessing this fee. This fee may be waived for certaintransactions (e.g., automated rebalancing, certain retirement plans, etc.). No redemption fee was assessed during the year.

Note 3: Securities Loaned

Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), as lending agent, may loan the securities of certain sub-funds to certain qualified institutions (the “Borrowers”)approved by the fund. The loans are collateralized by high quality government debt in an amount typically at least equal to the market value of the securitiesloaned marked-to-market on a daily basis; such collateral is held at the sub-fund’s depositary. GSAL provides the applicable sub-fund with indemnificationagainst Borrower default, including failure to deliver to the sub-fund any applicable distributions with respect to securities on loan or to return to theapplicable sub-fund securities on loan in accordance with the lending agreement. On loans collateralized by high quality government debt, a fee is receivedfrom the Borrower, and is allocated between the fund and the lending agent. Net income from securities lending is separately reported in the Statements ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as otherdividend and interest income as disclosed in Note 2. The market value of securities loaned and collateral outstanding at 31 January 2013 for the applicablesub-funds were as follows:

Page 126:  · CONTENTS Letter from the Chairman of the MFS Meridian Funds ............. 3 Performance table ......................................... 4 General information

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 January 2013

All transactions entered into between the fund and MFS have been entered into in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms. Thefund has not entered into any transactions through a broker who is a connected person, nor has the fund entered into any transactions which are outsidethe ordinary course of business or not on normal commercial terms. In addition, neither MFS, the Directors of the fund, nor any person connected withany of them is entitled to any profits from transactions in the shares of the fund or from the management of the fund, other than through the payment offees which have been disclosed in the fund’s prospectus.

Note 5: Depositary Fees

Each sub-fund will pay State Street Bank Luxembourg S.A., the funds’ depositary and global custodian, (the “Depositary”), a fee based on the monthly netasset value of the sub-funds plus a fee based upon the trading activity of each sub-fund. The Depositary and MFS, on behalf of the fund, shall determine thelevel of the fee from time to time in light of market rates applicable. Reasonable disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Depositary or byother banks and financial institutions to which safekeeping of assets of the sub-funds is entrusted are in addition to the Depositary’s fee. The depositary fee ispart of each sub-fund’s operating expenses which are capped by MFS as described in Note 4.

Note 6: Commission Sharing

In allocating brokerage commissions, MFS may take into consideration the receipt of research and brokerage services, consistent with its obligation to seekbest price and execution for client transactions. Such services include statistical, research, and other factual information or services (“Research”). Securitiesmay be bought or sold from time to time through such broker-dealers on behalf of a sub-fund. MFS has entered into Client Commission Agreements withbroker/dealers that execute, clear or settle securities transactions on behalf of clients (“Executing Brokers”) which provide for the Executing Brokers to pool aportion of the commissions paid by MFS’ clients for securities transactions (“Pooled Commissions”) to research providers. Such research providers shallprovide Research for the benefit of MFS. Because a research provider may play no role in executing client securities transactions, any Research prepared bythat research provider may constitute third-party research. The investment management fee paid by the sub-funds to MFS, is not reduced as a consequence ofMFS’ receipt of Research. To the extent a sub-fund’s portfolio transactions are used to obtain Research, the brokerage commissions paid by the sub-fund mayexceed those that might otherwise be paid for execution only. The Research received may be useful and of value to MFS in serving both a sub-fund and otherclients of MFS or its affiliates; accordingly, not all of the Research provided by brokers through whom client securities transactions are effected may be usedby MFS in connection with the clients. MFS would, through the use of the Research acquired with trade commissions or Pooled Commissions, avoid theadditional expenses that would be incurred if it attempted to develop comparable information through its own staff or if it purchased such Research with itsown resources. All trades with Research Firms will be effected in accordance with MFS’ obligation to seek best execution for its client accounts.

Note 7: Taxation

The fund is subject to Luxembourg law with respect to its tax status. Under legislation and regulations currently prevailing in Luxembourg, the fund is subjectto a “Taxe d’abonnement” on its net assets at an annual rate of 0.05% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class W and 0.01% for Class I, Class S, andClass Z. The “Taxe d’abonnement” is calculated and payable quarterly on the basis of the net assets at the end of each quarter.

Interest and dividend income, and gains on securities, may be subject to non-recoverable withholding taxes deducted at source in the countries of origin.

The fund is registered for Value Added Tax in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and subject to account for Value Added Tax in accordance with currentregulations.

United Kingdom Tax Considerations – The Company has applied for and received “reporting fund” status for certain sub-funds and share classes for thefiscal year ended 31 January 2013. More information can be found at www.mfs.com.
