MFS Government Markets Income Trust and MFS Intermediate Income Trust Announce Special Shareholder Meeting Relating to Proposed Appointment of Aberdeen Investments as Investment Adviser<\/b><\/p>\n

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMFS Investment Management (\u201cMFS\u201d) announced today that the Board of Trustees (the \u201cBoard\u201d) of MFS Government Markets Income Trust (NYSE: MGF) and MFS Intermediate Income Trust (NYSE: MIN) (each a \u201cFund\u201d and collectively, the \u201cFunds\u201d) approved the proposed i) appointment of abrdn Inc. (\u201cAberdeen\u201d), the US Subsidiary of Aberdeen Investments, the global specialist asset manager, as the new investment adviser for each Fund and ii) the election of five new trustees for each Fund in complete replacement of each Fund\u2019s current Board (collectively, the \u201cProposals\u201d and each a \u201cProposal\u201d). The Proposals are subject to approval by each Fund\u2019s shareholders, as discussed further below, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions. The Proposals for each Fund are not contingent upon shareholder approval by the other Fund.<\/p>\n

\nAs announced by MFS on December 11, 2025, and described further in a joint prospectus\/proxy statement mailed to each Fund\u2019s shareholders, the Board previously approved, subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization of each Fund and certain other MFS closed-end funds with and into MFS Multimarket Income Trust (\u201cMMT\u201d) (the \u201cReorganizations\u201d). To date sufficient shareholder votes have not been received with respect to the approval of either Fund\u2019s respective Reorganization. MFS believes that continued solicitation of each Fund\u2019s shareholders is unlikely to result in approval of either Fund\u2019s Reorganization. MFS has instead recommended the Proposals to each Fund\u2019s Board and the Board has recommended the Proposals for approval by each Fund\u2019s shareholders as an alternative to the Reorganizations.<\/p>\n

Required Vote of the Fund\u2019s Shareholders<\/i><\/p>\n

\nShareholders of each Fund as of May 1, 2026, will be asked to approve the new investment advisory agreement appointing Aberdeen as the Fund\u2019s new investment adviser and to elect the five new trustees for the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders, scheduled for June 18, 2026, or such other date as the Board may approve. Shareholders of each Fund will receive a proxy statement (a \u201cProxy Statement\u201d) providing additional information and soliciting their votes in favor of the Proposals, both of which are recommended by each Fund\u2019s Board. Both Proposals must be approved by a Fund for the Proposals to be implemented for that Fund. If approved for a Fund, it is expected that the appointment of Aberdeen as the Fund\u2019s investment adviser in place of MFS and the election of the five new Trustees to the board of the Fund will take effect in early Q3 2026.<\/p>\n

\nEach Fund\u2019s Board believes that the Proposals are in the best interests of each such Fund and recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote in favor of their Fund\u2019s Proposals.<\/p>\n

\nFurther information concerning the Proposals will be provided in each Fund\u2019s Proxy Statement. Shareholders should read the Proxy Statement for the applicable Fund as it will contain important information about the Proposals and proxy solicitation.<\/p>\n

Filing and Mailing of Shareholder Materials<\/i><\/p>\n

\nA preliminary draft of each Fund\u2019s Proxy Statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d), which may be amended or withdrawn.

\nThis press release may contain statements regarding plans and expectations for the future that constitute forward-looking statements within The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Such forward-looking statements are based on the fund’s current plans and expectations, are not guarantees of future results or performance, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

About the Funds<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Shares may trade at a discount to the net asset value per share. Shares of the Funds are not FDIC-insured and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank. Shares of the Funds involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal.<\/p>\n

About MFS Investment Management<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
